Exactly.

Also, a lot of Europeans were totally oblivious and ignorant about the fact that the Islamic freaks and half the middle east had no beef with them, but it's pretty obvious that they'll blow anybody up, no matter country of origin. It was the, "it'll never happen here" attitude that was pissing me off a little.

I hate to say this, but something like this was bound to happen, as it's obvious that attacking Europe is easier than attacking the U.S.A.

As sick this may sound, it's a shame that it happened in Madrid and not Paris. Would have been an even bigger wake-up call to Europe and especially the [censored] French.

As Andy said, if the new Spanish government thinks they'll be safe and sound by pulling out of Iraq, they've got another thing coming. 'tis ok though, they'll learn.
