Quintos, is Aznar to blame for the March 11 bombing or are the terrorists that perpretated the bombing really to blame? Do you really believe that by stradling the fence like France and Germany, that Spain would not get terorized? Didn't Al'Qaeda already zero in on Spain for the loss of their Islamic territories in 1492?

The U.S. thought it could remain apart from the evils visited on other countries during WWII, and see what happened to us.

During the beginning of World War II, when many countries where being taken over by Nazi Germany, Poland, France, Belgium, etc, and the British were desperately asking for the U.S. to enter the war as an ally, many American's felt that staying out of the war was the prudent thing to do. Appeasement was the word of the day. Yes, many were pacifists, many were isolationists, and many just did not care what happened elsewhere. Until... Pearl Harbor.

People must defend their freedom. It's not free. I don't blame Aznar, I blame the terrorists for their deed in Madrid on 11-March.

Appeasement does not works with terrorists. They just bide their time.
