Well, if they did, they threw the "baby out with the bathwater". Prior, the existing government was leading the polls -- The European Socialists, are known to be against the war, as are the Spanish Socialists. It's my understanding, that it's more of voters being disgusted, that the 'in power government' tried to make political hay, and blame the Basques. If this theory is correct, and it was indeed the Spanish government deliberately trying to blame someone else, when they knew the evidence/intelligence pointed somewhere else -- major miscalculation. If the election was held later, they probably could have done some damage control. It was obviously a highly strategic bombing, so close to the election. Lets hope this isn't a sign of things to come, and that some of the political left, get there heads out of their arses. You cannot appease this the other side. You cannot reason with people who have twisted a good religion into a "faith". We're talking a very perverse form of brainwashing here... I'm beginning to believe now, that Bush is probably more right, than some of us on the left, wanted to accept at first. This truly is a global war, unfortunately. If one doesn't connect the dots, between what happened in Israel this past weekend, the insurgency in Iraq and this bombing in Spain -- then one is truly stupid. -- Steve +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Monday Mar 15 2004 10:53:01 PM EST +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You buttered your bread, now lie in it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
