You're such a stupid prick without a clue...
The spanish people got betrayed by their own conservative government that kissed Bush's ass to participate in a senseless war over lies even though over 90% of the spanish knew the war in Iraq had nothing to do with the war against terrorism (there was no terrorism in Iraq, not ties to it, nor WMD).
Socialists told from the start of the war about these lies that they would pull out spanish troops out of Iraq and place them in Afghanistan as they didn't want to become part of an imperialist invasion over oil resources.
Then the attacks happened, the conservatives tried to control the media so that the could lie again by claiming for days that ETA and only ETA was responsible for the attacks. They disrespected not only the victims but the entire people of spain to save their own ass.
When it became clear that the ruling conservatives were witholding information from the public for their own electoral purposes, people took to the streets and with a record turnout they voted a lying government out of power. That's democracy. Perhaps something that should also be considered in the US, but unfortunately Americans are too easy to brainwash.
Now spanish troops move to Afghanistan, do you think Osama is happy with that?
