I believe that the tragedy in Spain is simply an example of how Bush's policies have CREATED more terrorists than they have eliminated. ( Exactly as all 13 US intelligence agencies warned Bush they would, back in October 2002, when they also advised against invading Iraq. ) But, of course, this is precisely what Bush ( conciously or subconciously ) wants: so that he can continue to scare the "willies" out of US citizens, and put the US permanently in hock by squandering tax dollars ( and borrowing future tax dollars, largely from Communist China ) for the "War on Terror"(TM), the actual purpose of which the positioning of himself, Halliburton, etc. at the helm of global oil supplies. ( Please go to www.copvcia.com and read. ) Thank You, Thump P.S. There is no doubt that some "fundamentalist" Islamists have MAJOR behavioral problems!!! But, then, so do intolerant "fundamentalists" of most sects, including so-called "Christians"! Only the power of LOVE, as Jesus espoused, can break the cycle of violence which competing sects have visited on each other for milennia !!! And the current violence is really not because of a desire to spread Islam by force. It is a response to the U.S. backing, and funding, of oppressive Israeli policies towards Palestinians. Plain and simple. That is its root, and if that root were dug up, the branches and leaves of terror would wither away! ( Or at least they WOULD HAVE, prior to Bush's incendiary warmongering !) But, yes, I even pray for Bush who, instead of trying to corner the oil market and spend a trillion for Mars exploration, should propose spending a trillion on RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT! He may bankrupt the US cornering the global supply of oil, but it will do him no good, ultimately. For, when the shortage REALLY hits, and citizens are spending all of their $$$ staying warm and driving to work ( and making Bush and his pals "rich" ) every other sector of the economy will collapse, ultimately taking the WHOLE economy with it, like a house of cards. Then his "victory" will be Pyric, indeed!
