Here's an interesting article on Zapatero. It has some relevance to this poll, as well.

Those Americans now busy building heated, Olympic-sized swimming pools with the proceeds of new defense contracts and their political allies of convenience, evangelical illiterates who hold that a fifteen-billion year old universe was created six thousand years ago -- two pillars of Bush support -- will now start their voodoo imprecations about Spain's giving in to terror. Democratic nominee Kerry, almost pathetically, has joined the mumbo- jumbo, asking Spain's new government "to reconsider decision to send a message that terrorists cannot win by their acts of terror."
Nothing could be less accurate or demonstrate more backward logic. The appalling act of terror in Madrid rather has focused Spain on the simple, irreducible truth that the key place to fight terror is in your own country and in its policies towards the world. It has brought Spain's people back to where they were before the previous government betrayed their interests to Bush.
