It is sad to see that the Spanish people fell victim to the terrorist's wants and desires. As you said Artaher the terrorists wanted the Socialists to win the elections and gain power. A liberal "left" form of government that will cater to the terrorists goal of acheiving their desires, or so they're hoping. The Spanish people played right into the terrorists hands by not having the resolve to "stick to their guns" about their commitment to the war in Iraq (which ultimately the war was a good thing IMO) to oust the evil regime of Saddam Hussein and his henchmen.

The Socialists have no plan 'or idea' of how to stop the terrorists in their tracks let alone the ability to prevent similar incidences from happening again to its citizens. So it is a double sad day for Spain. The loss of 200 lives and the sad fact that the Spanish people were not resilient enough to stand up to their convictions of the war in Iraq and because of it played right into the hands of the terrorists by electing the Socialists to power which the terrorists wanted to happen. It is sad that Spaniards couldn't see through the terrorist's ploy and stand up to their convictions and do the right thing instead they cowered to the terrorist's wishes and elected the Socialists to power. And in so doing the terrorists got what they wanted. Sad day indeed for Spaniards.

My heart weeps for the family, friends, and people who are suffering from this tragic loss.

Why can't we put aside our political and religious views and create ONE world!

When will we as brothers and sisters find the courage to love and take care of each other.

So sad....

This is definitly a hugh tragedy and I feel so bad for the inocent victims. I got that sunken feeling when I saw it on TV right after it happened, just as I did on 9/11 when I woke up that morning and saw my home town of NYC being attacked.Unfortunaly this is a bigger problem then anyone can imagine, and in my personal opinion I'm sad to say, this probably wont be the last of these kind of sensless, cowardly acts of terror. The world is changing my friends..be carefull out there...

God Bless Us All

These terrorist attacks make us remember what is more important: the life, the people.

And these died persons make us feel that all we are brothers, and all we have good feelings, humanity.

I was saddened and angered at the news of terror in spain. My sympathies goes to all spanish people. The real challenge that every country has today is terrorism. My fear is that the elections in spain have sent the wrong message to the terrorists. It sent them the message that they can change elections in countries and that they can hijack and influence people. This a major political success for Al-Qaida and unfortunately, it has encouraged them to do this again. We are living in critical times and the people should be aware about the priorities for their own countries. My fear is that they may try this on the USA on the coming elections.

Terrorism to anyone, anywhere, is terrorism to us all. Carried out by cowards on others not in a position to defend themselves.

My sympathies to my brothers and sisters in Spain, for their loss.
