Al Queda warns Canada
Absolutely gutted about Canadian loss of life as their role is that of peace keeping.
However, Spain not fighting terrorism?? What do you think that the Spanish have been dealing with for the last 30 years with ETA? I realise that as a US citizen, you have a myopic view of your own importance, but Europe has had a long history of dealing with terrorism (IRA, Red Brigade for example) long before the US thought it was important.
Specifically, the Spanish public (these would be the people that the govermenment answers to) reacted 1) to the lies of the elected government (because they claimed ETA did it) and 2) had already strong misgivings about support to a cause that did not directly affect them. THEIR democratic process effected the change in government after the electorate found that they had been attacked because involvement in a process they did not support.
Not everyone in the world feels. or acts, the way as you do. At least try to respect other countries democratic process.
