There is no way to interpret Spain’s vote yesterday than as a regime change engineered by Al Qaeda, and a major defeat for the forces of democracy. An Al Qaeda document captured some weeks ago foretold exactly this strategy and outcome.
Spain, to its eternal shame, has chosen the path of appeasement. They have lost 200 citizens to Al Qaeda violence, with many more terribly wounded, and their response is to cave to Al Qaeda’s desires.
In America we feel grief for the victims and their families, but the Spanish voters have demeaned their own dead by surrendering to the killers, and betrayed their own brave soldiers who have served well in Iraq. Clearly Spain has joined Western Europe in its pathetic decadence.
A nation which, when its civilians are attacked, blames its own government and gives in to the attacker deserves no respect from thinking people. Rather, it is an accessory to the murder of its citizens and the murder of many more around the world that will result from their cowardice. The more solid Australians did not cave in when they suffered proportionally more casualties in the Al Qaeda attack in Bali, but the Spanish took only four days to bring out their white flags and wave them for all to see.
Those who choose appeasement often imagine that they are choosing peace. In reality, their actions encourage more violence and more deaths of innocents. We should feel nothing but loathing for those who switched their vote after the Al Qaeda attacks.
Spain has now joined the French as surrender monkeys, for Spain has truly done exactly what the Islamofascists want.. Ironically, tthe Spanish don’t understand that they will be targeted again in any case. Usama Bin Laden long ago listed the reconquest of Spain for Islam as one of his primary goals.
Al Qaeda has demonstrated that it can cause regime change. It will try it again. Thanks to Spain, we can expect massacres to occur in Britain and Italy, and probably in the United States this year.
The Democrats in the United States, by giving every indication that they are weak on terror, are essentially asking Al Qaeda to attack. Kerry may, for a day or two, condemn terrorism and vow to be strong. But he is fooling few with this, as we and Al Qaeda know that he will return to form, espousing policies that would require the acquiescence of the Axis of Cowards. Terrorists understand that this gives them a license to act. They know that Kerry has already been instrumental in causing the United States to surrender to an enemy after losing tens of thousands of soldier. If terrorists were included in voter polls, they would agree with the North Koreans that Kerry is their choice for president.
This latest attack has shown the continued seriousness of this war. However, we can expect the Kerry machine to be back to criticizing the Bush war effort in a way that our enemies want to hear. They will be trying to tear Bush down, lie about his politicies, spread distrust, making untruthful accusations of lying and base motives, and generally showing that they are willing to encourage terrorists if it gains political advantage. In other words, they will be showing that they are not serious about defeating this enemy.
Terrorists understand people like this. They know such people have no core beliefs and hence are fundamentally weak. This knowledge will inform and encourage our enemies.
Sunday was a black day for the forces of good, and a major defeat in the War on Terror.
