    My regrets on Madrid, Nex.

    Hope the country won't be swallowed by the chaos. Good luck and competent policy, friendship and strength in adversity, peace in the heart of the living.

    Would Zapatero have won the elections if it weren't for the bombings? If 91% of Spaniards wanted their troops out of Iraq anyway, it seems to me as if the bombings wouldn't have made much difference to the election results. Just a thought. So I guess you could say that the bombings were a way for Al Qaeda to take credit for splitting the US-Spain alliance, which probably wouldn't have lasted much longer anyway...
    I think the bombings benefited Zapatero. The polls said the things were 50/50, but the attack revived the frustration of the war and the show of manipulation.
