But I guess many of the posters don't consider what happens in Spain to
affect the US? The point in my earlier post was to just illustrate that
those who have strong opinions on a subject are not usually very open to
understanding other points of view (except me of course <grin>). For
example, my humble opinion of Spain pulling out of Iraq and expecting the
terrorists to leave them alone was similar to telling a murderer that if
he does not kill anyone in your family, it is OK for him to slaughter
everyone else on the street and then expect him to honor that because his
actions are so trustworthy. Make sense?
No offense meant or taken.
Proof is in the pudding: Not one new attack in Spain since the subway
attack says it all. Remember, Spain has been dealing with Arabs for
thousands of years. The USA has never had to deal with them in the way
Spain has. If you would check your history, you would know that the Arabs
occupied Spain for hundreds of years. Does the name El Cid ring a bell?
