Wow, Nefarious, what are you, Inspector Clousueax?

Last I heard no one knew who did Madrid.

Ok let's see, ETA denies any involvement, 5 detainees which are from Morocco and India, 2 of which had been under surveillance for their links to Al Qaeda...

Yes. It absolutely looks like a terrorist act from ETA. Everything points to that conclusion. Or that's what the ex-government wanted us to believe.

I do not understand your logic.  I thought they voted the party out for supporting the war in Iraq?

[GRUNHERZ]

From what I saw on the news today:

1) A recent poll a a few days before the bombing showed current party was set for an easy victory.

2) Now we see an enormous swing towards a lefty wing pacifist  oppsition party, and they win the elections with promises of withdrawing from war on terror.

I wasnt trying to be funny, its not funny, its sad. It will only encourage more of this type of bombing if it has such clear benefical consequences to the terrorists. So if it was al qaeda that did this you are validating their efforts of killing 200 innocent people, whether you like it or not.... Thats very sad, very, very sad...  Is that the way to honor the dead, by giving into the wishes of their murderers?

Bush invaded iraq. One of the goals of osama. He hoped that we would, so that we would turn it into a holywar and polarize the islamic world against us. Also it bogs us down and limits our resources in tracking terrorists outside of iraq.

as Grun stated, the score reads:
Terrorists 1
Spain 0

if Iraq war has nothing to do with terrorists why was such a correlation made by the spanish voters?

I think your score is a bit out of date. Here is current running score.

Terrorists: 200 +1400

Spain: 0

We have a huge fire now in a heart of Moscow: a Riding-hall 100m from Kremlin wall is burning severely, at least 2000 square meters on fire.

One friend told me it's shown on Euronews as "no comment", footage from Rossiya hotel, it's on another side of Kremlin and looks like Kremlin itself burns. Other friend waits for me down at the street, we are going to watch the disaster closer.

All I can say is it's a nice start.

I didn't go vote. I hope the electoral lists will not be used later to find "politicaly unreliable" people. Maybe I am paranoid, and I hope so, so far we have no threats to personal freedom we had since early-90s, but I have to always prepare for worse.

The Fire was major news on FOX here in the US.

this is  a joke.

damn, really hate to say this.  but Grun is right.  from the info we have now it looks like the people completely buckled, and gave the victory to the terrorists.
  it may be harsh, and not a very flattering assesment of people who are suffering right now,  but it seems an acurate one.

Had we voted 2 days after 9-11, would we have voted GWB out of office?

I'm going to go ahead and say probably not.  The thing in America is we are all for stopping terrorism, so another terror attack will just strenghthen our resolve.  I don't think anyone in America is willing to lay down and let the terrorists run us over, even though some don't want us in Iraq I see it as two different things.

This thread has moved abit from Borodas intentions i belive...

Bororda...your comments on last nights events in Russia and that fire you were going to inspect.

Do you remind this governement was not backed by the population pre-Iraq II ?

And it's not  terrorist victory it's a democratic victory there is no reason to critic the choice of the spanish,they do what they think to be good for their country.

[ravells]

Are they not saying that the fire was started by some sort of electrical fault?
