Reply #31: Terrorism did not hijack the elections in Spain [View All]

[freeforall]

Last year, millions of Spanish people protested against getting involved in the Iraq war. I perceive that the bombing reinforced their feelings that they should not have gotten involved, and they "threw out" the leader and party resonsible for that involvement.

I think that this is the highest form of democracy in action. Rather than cower, they actually did something constructive.

Would that America would do the same.

So no, I don't think the "terrorists won." Democracy spoke. Loud and clear.
