The actions of the Spanish people post-3/11 have endangered all of us. As sad as I am for those who died and were injured and their families, I cannot excuse the foolish mistake made by the voters of Spain. I feel sympathy for them for their loss, but feel sympathy for the future victims that will die at least in part because of the victory the Spanish have handed to AQ. There is no doubt in my mind that AQ will be able to recruit more terrorists and that these terrorists will be more motivated to kill because of the effect that they have had in Spain. This will undoubtedly lead to even more deaths in the future.
My reaction is entirely appropriate.

Reactions like this will drive others from supporting us as well. The perception out there in the world is that we are looking for geopolitical gain and refusing to consider any interests or concerns of our allies.
But, hell, I can understand why you couldn't care less if the government lied to the people about terrorism for its own advantage. After all, you're pretty inured to this, aren't you?
