Madrid

Barcepundit marks the fifth anniversary of the Madrid train bombings with a simple recitation of names, innocents aged 7 months to 63 years old. The coordinated series of attacks killed 191 people and wounded more than 1,800. There’s one victim Jose forgot to mention. Spanish freedom. The attack was a victory for Islamic terrorism, which succeeded in changing a government and its foreign policy. The attacks tipped the balance in a close election just days later amid recriminations over the government’s initial focus on its other domestic terrorist problem, ETA. Spain, under its new socialist government, shortly afterward withdrew its troops from Iraq.

   Personally I think the change of Spanish government was more caused by the government lying about the attacks than by the attacks themselves.
