Spain may yet turn out to be AlQeda’s greatest victory. People forget that that prior to the Madrid train bombings, Spain had a successful, conservative government. The economy was doing well. They were a supportive ally after 9/11. The bombings, days before the election..gave it to the Socialists..Spain surrendered. .It took them less than 7 years to completely run the economy into the ground..
And this is quite correct....Spain seemed to disintergrate after the Madrid bombings, and brining in a Socialist government right afterwards
One of the first accomplishments of the Zapatero government? Undermining traditional marriage despite over a million marchers standing behind it.
That will never be undone.
