Maybe the Spanish educational system is rotting away like that of many other Western countries, since these supposed journalism students (!?!) didn't know any history, to wit: what did Saddam Hussein do while in power? Why, he brutalized his own people! (No!) Was it really so long ago that the Spanish electorate can forget? Can they be so unobservant as not to realize that rolling over to the terrorists simply gives them a softer target to hit?
It bears repeating: soldiers fight wars abroad so that civilians don't have to fight them at home. I wouldn't want to be killed in a pizza joint or at a shopping mall or in a commuter train, but if that's how it is, I sure as hell wouldn't want my fellow citizens to lift their collective legs over my grave by not fighting back. Voting for appeasers is saying that the deaths of your fellows has taught nothing, and meant nothing. Scoundrels.
