My guess is that we can expect similar attacks before the next elections in Britain and the US.
If the reconstruction of Iraq were to be handed over to the UN I can assure you that al-Qaida would declare open season upon every member participating.

UN has less spine than your typical earth worms. They watched Gorazde and Srebrenica getting massacred, they left their own soldiers gutted and eaten, and they ran from Iraq after the first bomb.

By senior officials immediately blaming ETA, without evidence. It's not necessarily a lie, but it shows lack of control.
If al Qaeda had been blamed immediately by senior members of the Bush administration for the anthrax attacks in DC without evidence, I think I would have shown similar unease, for instance. Just trying to put myself in Spaniards' shoes.

Well I assume the press in the US hasn't been reporting too much about their manipulations but Aznar and his party are a bunch of lying SOB's. We're not talking about impulsive finger-pointing, we're talking about willful and systematic manipulation of the media and deception of the public.
After the minister of interior affairs already knew that a van had been discovered which was used by the terrorist and contained a tape with koran verses, the govt called foreign correspondents to "remind" them ETA was responsible. At the same time, the minister of foreign affairs sent a memo to all Spanish ambassadors and Aznar contacted the chief editors of all the important Spanish newspapers, with the same message. For chrissake, the bastards even misled the UN Security Council to file a resolution maintaining ETA was responsible.
When it became obvious they just couldn't insist on that fairy tale anymore, they tried to spread the bullcrap it was a collabaration between the ETA and muslim fundamentalists, pointing to "contacts" between both. Everything had to be done to make sure ETA remained the main suspect because the opposite implied Aznar was in serious **** for his support to Bush.
You have to understand Aznar and his cabinet had been showing plenty of autocratic tendencies before, to the point it became worrying for such a young democracy as Spain.
Either how those scoundrels were a disgrace to the principles of democracy and they deserved to go. We have no desire for another Putinocracy, thank you very much.
