Spain blinked
The democrats here are blinking, and others in Europe have their eyes firmly closed.
The terrorists are greatly encouraged by this.
Many western lives are put atr risk by that choice.
AQ was active in Germany, France, Spain, UK and elsewhere planning attacks on them all.
They think by parsing between Iraq and AQ they somehow mollify AQ from its long existing desires to wreck the West.
They are wrong.
