    Are the spanish a bunch of sheep?

    Nice to know they let terror make the decision for them and their votes. Guess Bin Laden won this one......

    "Voters ousted Spain?s ruling party in elections Sunday, with many saying they were shaken by bombings in Madrid and furious with the government for backing the Iraq war and making their country a target for al-Qaida.

    Until the bombing, the conservative Popular Party was projected by most polls to beat the Socialists, although perhaps without retaining their majority in the 350-seat Congress of Deputies.

    But the disaster, which the government initially blamed on the Basque separatist group ETA, threw the election wide open. The attack was followed by emotional rallies across the country."

      Very nice soundbite. Did you mention that a large portion of the population was against the government's decision to get involved in the war in the first place. So if anything, it just shows democracy finally working properly. Government makes bad decision, and democracy forces the old government out, and a new one, more in line with the peoples wishes in.

      Just another view on the sitaution

      Take Luck!

          the former spanish government got just what they deserved , they didn't listen to their people saying NO to war and they got housted.

          at the same time i find it suspicious that the bombings happened just before the elections

              I just hope we dont face a similar attack here in the States. It obviously would have the opposite affects here but these Spanish give motivation to these people.

                      You're missing the obvious though. The other party was slated to win before the bombing. Al Qada forced change on weakminded people.

                      Its discouraging. About the only european country with a lick of fight is the UK and even they are going fast in the wrong direction.

                      It's a dangerous world. The usa is really the only westernized country that isn't so afraid of bloodshed, and a large part of it are.

                      If we don't do the fighting who will.

                      There is too many evil forces in the world to turn such a blind eye.

                                  It's coming soon, remember the September 11 attacks were planned for 6-7 years, so time is ticking again sadly

                                          Terrorists will always win. They have the kamikaze advantage. We'll do all we can, but we won't strap bombs to ourselves. No matter what they do, they'll always be able to hijack a plane if they want. ALWAYS.

                                          We would need a large scale operation with millions worth of equipment. All they need is to be crazy enough to blow themselves up to prove a point.

                                              You have to wonder what country will be next since they were able to change the vote in one country with one attack.

                                                      Very bad message to the terrorist scum.
                                                      Bomb us and we will bow down.

                                                      They lose 200 people in a terrorist attack, and then 8 millions people go in the street, not to demand that the terrorists' head roll but to deman "peace"....

                                                      It is quite obvious al qaeda does not want peace.

                                                      By the way, informed sources say that Italy is next, I wonder what the world will do when muslims slaughter a few hundreds Christians in the Vatican
                                                      ...

                                                              the election was always predicted to be close. This just got people out to vote that normally wouldn't.

Did you mention that a large portion of the population was against the government's decision to get involved in the war in the first place. So if anything, it just shows democracy finally working properly. Government makes bad decision, and democracy forces the old government out, and a new one, more in line with the peoples wishes in.

I hope it doesnt take an attack in Portugal for the people to remember our government supported the war against our will. The Bush sheep allies in Europe must go down

                                                                                                          The PP party who was in power got 9.6 million votes this time, compared with 10.3 in 2000, but still they lost 8% following!
                                                                                                          Now the total votes were 24,141,911, and 8% of that are almost 2 million votes, so the fact is that all the people that didn't vote last time were obviously unhappy with the government and decided to vote against them. And in recent polls about 8% have been undecided or not answering, and now we can see were those votes went

                                                                                                          The last government basically sucked, and not just for going against the will of the people, also Aznar just said this guy is the next presidential canidate for the PP, and no-one had anything to ay abou it, he hand picked him! How democratic is that?

                                                                                                          And also an issue close to me, 256/kb ADSL by law can cost no less than 38 euros!!!! That is done for the sole reason to make Telefonica a big worldwide company. Is that not hindering fair competition?

                                                                                                          There were a lot of reason to get the PP out of power, not just the small fact that they went completely against the will of the people

                                                                                                            Comment

                                                                                                                  The US People should start to do the same...to check that they rule the country and not a bush snail brain.....and not TV and not Hollywood....
