Killing civilians is a good way to do that, no matter whether an election is involved. I tend to think that Al Qaeda wasn't trying to influence the election, because I think they are not as preoccupied with electoral politics as most Westerners are. We think losing an election is the end of the world. They surely think all of our politicians are the same. (Between that and the Pinto, Ralph Nader clearly has influenced them a lot.)

You are confused. There are two separate issues that we were discussing and you are confused about this. The first issue was AQ's goals. The second issue was whether moderate Arab Muslims are likely to be impressed by what AQ has done in Spain. These are different issues.

Probably so, but your posts are a welter of rambling thoughts. Too bad you weren't an English major.

You are naive if you think moderate Arab muslims don't hate the west and still feel resentment about their lack of world power.

Since you still cannot find any support for this notion of yours that moderate Muslims are celebrating the killings in Madrid, why don't we just drop it.
