#1 It is, after all, war; battles are won, and battles are lost; countries defend and countries fall. Strange, in this war though, to watch a country felled by itself.

#2 Although I am generally a peaceful man, - I don't think I have been in a fist fight in a number of decades - but I believe in meeting force with force and using power to help the needy. It is obvious to me that I would not make much of a European, but even as an American I was beginning to worry that I had taken a different path from the 9-11 fork in the road than most average Americans. I felt better I digested Lawrence Henry's insight published in the Spectator. He writes, "On September 12, 2001, I ran into a friend of mine at a coffeeshop in Westfield, New Jersey.

My friend, the wife of a husband-and-wife partnership in a psychotherapy practice, asked me, "So what do you think?"

She asked the question fearfully, I could see, wondering what she would hear. As a psychotherapist and a sophisticated resident of the New York metropolitan area, she could be presumed to hold a certain set of beliefs. And she did not hold those beliefs now, at least not anymore. All this I read in her look, correctly, I believe.

"I think it's time to go kill those people," I said.

She gave me a firm nod, and a relieved sigh. I sighed readeing this.

#3 So the Spanish have capitulated and they'll be safe now, right? No more ROP mass murders in Spain anymore. Sure.
Until the next time you do something to piss them off, which doesn't take much. I suggest that they be prepared for a another rude awakening.

#4 I suggest that they be prepared for a another rude awakening... as the rest of the world's democracies should be as well. Spain just assured the use of this technique for YEARS and YEARS to come, maybe even centuries.
