I agree, this was a huge success on their part. They are now planning the next hit, anyone got a list of countries backing the United States against the AQ and Iraq?

There are plenty of lists:
- those with troops on the ground in Iraq;
- the political coalition for OIF; and
- those with troops in OEF fighting al-Qa'ida and other terrorists.
But make no mistake. This was not about Spain's role in Iraq. That was only one small part of the terrorists' casus belli. This is a war against the West and Western values - liberty, equality, fraternity, pluralism, and all that.
There are plenty of countries who are with us in Iraq that are worried - the Czechs recently intercepted a shipment of tons of plastic explosives - but even those not with us in Iraq - France, for example - harbor no illusions that they are safe. I seriously doubt Greece will cancel all of its security precautions for the Olympics this summer now that only OIF coalition members are at risk.
