it's very sad..sad for the lives lost in the attack, and sad for the message this election will send to al-qaeda.
i know you don't see it this way knife...but it's much more than just a "stunning upset". it's a stunning set back on the world war on terror. the terrorists have succeeded in manipulating the people of spain into electing a government that has admitted it will not persue terrorism as strongly as the encumbent.
this will only invite further attacks on the rest of europe..and if kerry is elected, the same thing will happen to the u.s.
