Al-Losers. That's gold, you should get that broadcast on Aljazeera, I'm pretty sure the group would collapse shortly after hearing it.

Zapatero has said one of his immediate priorities would be fighting terrorism, and today a whitehouse spokesman said Bush and Zapatero were looking forward to working together.
(see yahoo news )
its not as if spain has announced that it has become friends with al qaeda, or that it will not co-operate with the 'war on terror'. It has suggested that it may pull out of iraq, but thats a separate issue (unless you watch fox new etc).
While I'm at it, here's a good chomsky interview, although its too old to cover recent events:

well the thing with birthrates is you have an ageing and shrinking population.. if you want to have socialism have you to have people to take money from right? in 15 years something like half the population of spain will be over 50... then with the forced retirement thing... there won't be enough people to run the jobs....
.... so the only solution is let more immigrants in.. however do to laws they are entiled to more free money from the goverement taken from working people and the cylce goes on...
. i don't really know europe feels about immigrants... here in america it's all good... ps i am a spainaid myself..my grandparents immigranted here from

my point is that al qaeda werent resting anyway. they are a threat regardless of the spanish election result.
the situation is spain was fairly unique, with aznar supporting the iraq war against the wishes of the population, and then blaming eta for the bombs despite their denials of involvement. if (god forbid) something similar happened in the uk or us near an election, the repercussions would not be easily predictable. To suggest that they would be is very simplistic.
IMHO I think this 'analyst' woman is just trying to scare people and put a guilt trip on the spanish population .... I thought the US held democracy to be sacrosanct? what does it mean to criticise the citizens of another country for the way they voted?

"IMHO I think this 'analyst' woman is just trying to scare people and put a guilt trip on the spanish population"
You're half right, this letter is directed to scare American people. But this letter isn't intended to be seen by Spanish people at all. I doubt this letter has in any way been actually extended to spanish recipients. It's meant to make people vote for George Bush, as that entire site is.

ChildrenTalking: why don't you insult the spineless people in a democratic -- I mean communist -- country that wasn't attacked by terrorists? Like Germany or France? That's in better taste!

No, I was saying you are 'embarassing' other conservatives who are able to make sound and factual arguments, in response to your suggestion that ecnadniarb 'just pull your pands down and ask osama to stick it to you.'
That kind of talk just solidifies people in their views, instead of encouraging serious debate and democratic openness of ideas, as does your refusal to respond to me.

I wish for thickskulled Childrentalking and his trusty sidekick promo to fuel more of these kind of topics with their mindless ravings as they were the cause of a highly enjoyable read tonight.
