Silly Rabbits, Terrorism isn't for children, it must be dealt with by mature adults.

In March 2004, al-qaeda attacked Spain. Their reasoning / excuse for the murdering of innocents: Spain had troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The result: Spain elected a PM who immediately pulled out of Iraq and cowered against the wall publicly telling the world it was done with Iraq and please don't hurt Spaniards.

You see, when you deal with the blood-thirsty, they take your cowering as a sign of weakness, not equality. They cannot permit weakness nor cowardice for that above all else is regarded as worthy of further attacks.

Fast forward to 2008 -

"The Al Qaeda-inspired cell planned to attack the Barcelona metro and other targets in Spain, Germany, France, Portugal and the United Kingdom, said the bomber turned police informant."

Good lord, attack Spain again! Why? Spain pulled out, it left Iraq and never hurt another person. The same with Portugal, France, and Germany. Why one earth - they all left Iraq or never went in the first place. Most have mop up jobs in Afghanistan and or stand around looking like they accomplish various tasks when not otherwise holding buildings up. Europe pulled up its respective skirt, over its head, and ran all the way home. Surprise - al-qaeda wants to kill them again. As a human being the idea of Spain (or anywhere in Europe) being attacked again is repulsive and must be stopped. I have to admit, a small part of me doesn't care.

You do not usually get the opportunity to run away from these people - usually the idiots lie dead. If you do manage, as Spain did, get to run away with the tail between their legs, you do not have the privilege even in your most whacked out delusional dreams to believe that they will leave you alone, like they promised. What level of retardation has set in for you to possibly believe such foolishness and nonsense. Who in their right mind would believe al-qaeda to keep their word. Why would al-qaeda keep their word. They are not like you and I, they do not think like you and I, they do not want to live like you and I, they have utterly no interest in compromise or accommodation, nor should we even ponder the consideration of such - they do have an interest in you being quite dead and or converted to their perverted belief system.

Al-Qaeda believes that by striking at Europe, it will further divide the US from its allies, thereby making it easier to defeat the US later. What al-qaeda fails to understand for its myopic worldview does not permit a real understanding is, further attacks will not weaken Europe, they will embolden Europe. Europe will begin a clampdown on Muslims and Islamic activities that make anything up until now seem downright multicultural. From deportations to secret imprisonment, to police raids every day in every country repeatedly daily, to harassment and wiretapping ... this will be standard protocol. Furthermore, it will push the Europeans back to full support for the US.

Such a move/ attack would be very unwise and quite likely, at this time, causing a deep rift within al qaeda over the benefit of such action.

A part of me says - leave Europe to reap what it has sown. We have enough to do, we are finished with Europe. Let them face al-qaeda alone. I quickly realize that it is our burden to deal with idiots who would rather slap us than pat us on the back, but who cannot possibly fend for themselves, and we will see this play out in the next months.
