#1 I don't know why my links don't work. But it's easy enough to go to instapundit and drudge to see for yourselves.

#4 I just turned on the TV and CNN is on the demonstrations like flys on honey. Not the 8 million (or 2 million as EVEN Reuters is willing to acknowledge) but the "thousands" who are coming out against Aznar.

Bwahaaahahhaaaaa!!!!

I view the willingness to report this news in such a Stalinist fashion as a good...make that GREAT... sign. They are in trouble and they know it.

#5 I went out to dinner last night with a PHD in economics from Spain. She was very confident that Aznar's party would win big on Sunday. I brought up the fact that the spanish population was against the Iraq war and they make view an AQ attack as revenge for Aznar's actions in Iraq. Her reply was that this terrorist attack would without a doubt drive more people to vote for Aznar's party... we'll see on sunday.

#6 The pictures and the crowds are awesome..make no mistake, BUT...aren't they a target-rich environment?
If a bomb went off, it would kill untold numbers of people.
I remember after 9/11, maybe we wanted to do this, but we were too afraid...of the next attack.
I'm kind of chicken, but even today, I'm reluctant to go where there are going to be large crowds.

#8 The Spaniards now face their moment of Truth - the "crux of the biscuit" as Master Zappa once said: Will they get awesomely pissed off at terrorists or will they fail and nuance the issue with "Was it ETA? Yes?, Well then, support Aznar!" or "Was it Al Qaeda? Yes? Well then, blame Aznar!".

Who fucking CARES? They don't carry ID cards and it wouldn't even matter if they did. The point, the crux of the biscuit isn't the label on the can, it's the shit inside. People are capable of insane acts of barbarism. Where's all this grey area for nuancing and prevaricating and piddle-dicking around while your fellows die?

There is only one question: Are you or are you not willing to defend yourself and your fellows from them?

If yes, then you have to get medievil on their asses and wipe them off the face of the Earth.

If no, then STFU and die like a good lil dhimmi.

#9 The point, the crux of the biscuit isn't the label on the can, it's the shit inside.

Let me know when you die so's I can put this on your headstone.

#10 Ship - Lol! So you're expecting a posthumous email, I presume? Although I DO believe there are other worldly ISPs, there's no doubt that would be a trick! 8->
