#1 I wonder how many of those same people were at the antiwar rallies last year. Its amazing how quickly views can change when body parts start flying around your neighborhood.
Hey guys! guess what? somethings are worth fighting against!
Except if you're a leftist apologist lunatic I suppose.

#2 2 million = 1 in 20 Spaniards - the pictures said it all. I think AQ may have awakened another tiger

#3 I have yet to see any of this on the TV news. Considering they gave 24/7 coverage to the bombings itself, I find this surprising. Did I just miss it (I can't stand TV news - but I watched this morning to see if they would ignore this and so far have not been disappointed.

Not a peep - not even on the ticker! Did I just miss it?

#5 I just checked CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS and Drudge.

Only Drudge and CBS mentioned the 8 million turnout! This reminds me of the news coverage before the war. They were willing to show their true colors - Anti-American - because of the high stakes involved. They knew the consequences if America successfully invaded Afghanistan and/or Iraq and therefore they were willing to drop all pretenses and lobby outright for the opposite side. They risked alienating their viewers and exposing their allegiences - but all stops were let out to help prevent the war. They lost the battle, but it doesn't mean that they didn't think it was worth the war.

And yes, those of you who have been cheerleading for Fox - if you haven't noticed by now - as a whole the network is not on the American side. While they have hired anchors who are true Americans - check their online addition to see that it is indistinguishable from CNN.

The lack of coverage of the turn out in Spain shows tells us something we can not afford to ignore. Their silence says more than words could ever, hope to convey!

#6 42 million population... 200 dead.... roughtly equvalent to 1400 dead in the US... I'd be real careful dealing with Spain right now.

#7 CNN commentators say this bodes ill for the conservatives (i.e., those in power).
