What do you think?
(And on an aside - is this really the first thread on the topic, period? There's a thread on a naked Hong Kong newsreader but not on this? 200 people died in a multiple bomb attack, you know. 8 million Spaniards demonstrated yesterday to show their anger.)

Although the interest - it's "international" - seems to be so low that I stopped updating.
No, many of us are still interested, I'v been following the results in BBC and the German and French newspapers, since I don't read spanish without a good dictionary.

I certainly wasn't referring to you :wink:
There has been little new information, so I think most people are just watching and waiting.
Personally I think it is an al Qaeda act. But as someone pointed out on another thread it may be that they are linking up with like minded local talent.
OK thanks Hobit, I didnt see those.
Dunno how to close a thread, but I changed the title as you can see - no need to duplicate the discussion.
It's a shame that we Americans only notice when it happens to us.
This somnambulent selfishness is inevitably going to catch us unaware again, I fear.
Somewhere in the depths of a US/UN/Iraq thread is a poll of the Spanish people indicating that some extraordinary majority of them -- I want to say 90%, but will be willing to be corrected upon verification -- were against the unprovoked invasion of Iraq.
Many millions of Spaniards marched in protest then, as they do so in mourning now.
Of course Bush will claim in coming political advertisements that we (meaning of course US) are all safer now with Saddam in a brig.
I don't think even a majority of Americans buy that any more.

Obviously you haven't read "Dennis" screed, repeated on gods knows how many threads!
