Is that not how the republicans got a majority in both houses after 911
what's your point?

An absurd comparison, but -- even if your theory was true -- I doubt the
terrorists were hoping for a Republican majority.

The whole of this thread is full of absurd comparisons why is more absurd
than saying that the Spanish voted in a socialist government because of the
bombing.

The Spanish voted in a Socialist government because the Right wing
government lied to then too often. Firdtly over the reasons for going to war
and then quickly blaming ETA when it appears not to be.

The government was punished for that - not to appease terrorists.

The republicans had both houses long before 9-11.

The Republicans have held the House of Representatives since 1995.

The Senate was even in January 2001, the Republicans had a nominal majority
due to Dick Cheney's tie-breaking vote. Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords left
the Republican party two months later, giving the Democrats the majority.
The Republicans regained the majority with the 2002 election.

Rest assured that all Americans stand with you, that we will
remember our allies, and that we will help you find the swine who
perpetrated this atrocity.

The socialists have just won the election & Zapatero has
pledged to withdraw troops from Iraq. Looks like it's
down to the US, Britain, Australia and Poland. Rather
like last time.

Yep, murder a couple hundred Spaniards and the whole country will do
whatever you want.

After a while, terrorism develops an inertia of its own that's hard to
stop. Terrorists become professionals: it's what they do for a living.

nothing else has.

Unfortunately, the spin in the Muslim world will be that Al Qaeda
frightened the Spanish people into replacing their government. Score
one for the bad guys.

And Italy, Britain and Australia will no doubt pay a heavy price for the
cowardice of the Spanish.

Churchill, speaking of appeasement, said it was 'feeding the crocodile in hopes
it would eat you last.'

Unfortunately, the Spanish just showed that terror will influence elections,
policies, treaties, and troop deployments.

I have read this thread with both respect for the (mostly) flame-free
discusion and in awe for the lack of information. You should read more
non-US media...

1. Spaniards changed their vote not because of terror, but because the
government manipulated the information regarding the terror attacks
and tried to mislead the people for their own advantage (ring a
bell?).

2. Terrorists are not fighting a religious war. They are fighting the
US and its allies, not Christianity.
