I wonder if any spanish nationals lost their lives in 9/11 attack, and if so, then it seems to me that al-Qaeda and spain belong to same topic , same page, same thread, same discussion??

Al-Qaeda and what it represents is a threat to every democratic nation and institution in the world, and spain may have a very important role in this fight due to it's geographical location , whether it wants it or not.

I don't know anything about troubles brewing in Michigan, just in case I always take a long detour around Ann Arbour.
