SPANISH BOMBS
Right now, I'd say there's a better than even chance that the Madrid bombings were the work of al Quaeda. At least one source is reporting that they've claimed responsibility and, being perhaps more aware of history than most Westerners, bin Laden has seen the Spanish reconquista as an important point on the timeline that he believes justifies his war against the non-Islamic world.
Operations in Europe will be easier for al Quaeda and their allies. If they begin stepped-up operations there, I wonder if it will stiffen the backbones of Europeans against the much more imminent threat they face from Islamic expansionism...
