Weakness had emboldened and strengthened terrorists. Pulling out of Beirut and Mogidishu has done so much more to fuel the growth of terrorism than any foreign policy.
LOL... right... and bombing the merry bj out of Afghanistan and Iraq has really helped to reduce terrorism.
That used to be the first assumption anytime anything when bang in England.
Hmm... it used to be the assumption in Spain that any terrorist attack would be down to the Basque separatist group ETA. The Aznar government jumped to that conclusion in the immediate aftermath of the Madrid blasts - that mistake got them summarily voted out of office.
ETA were a possibility. They do fit the description "unhappy spaniards" rather well.
That description would certainly make them unhappier still, since their entire reason for existence is the contention that they are not Spanish. They are in fact very unhappy Basques.
