Re: Coincidence ??
Well australia is the one place without any terror strikes yet - i agree that the election result would have tilted in the socialists favour - only because of the timing.
The one point that was made with the spainish bombings was that it was 911 days after sept 11 2001 WTC bombings - that is the co incidence angel.

Re: Coincidence ??
I am not concerned with the actual results of the election in Spain regardless of how my own politics do or don't agree with the new government. It's their country and they are voicing their collective opinions as all democracies are entitled to do.
However I do have some concerns with the perception of the results. The polls leading up to the vote showed the incumbant party with a small, but measurable lead. Whether or not the bombing, or the apparent rush to condem the ETA for it had any effect on the results is impossible to truely know. But if the terrorists percieve it to have had an effect, it will likely give them encouragment to commit similerly timed acts in other countries.
I fear for the Polish people, and for ourselves in that regard.
But, no, I cannot agree with anyone that thinks the free and open exercise of a countries democratic rights is any sort of victory for the terrorists.

Why would Iraq want to join the US? Look a little closer to home, have Canada join the US! We could call ourselves "Canamerican's"!!! We'd be the biggest country in the world!
(now there is a scary thought)
BTW, I don't think the US and Canada should join, just in case you were wondering.
