Reply #5: The start of the reaction of the american media [View All]

First of all I think that at this moment there is little uncertainty as who perpetrated the coward attacks of Madrid. Mr. Zapatero said he would withdraw the troops from Iraq if he was invested president a long time ago, it was one of his campaign promises. I truly hopes he keeps that promise.

This links to some commentaries made by U.S. analysts in many mainstream media which I´m hearing (I watch CNN, Fox News and NBC by sattelite). Besides Fox News, which is always nauseating, I have seen that in the interviews some called "experts" are saying that the Spaniards voted for the socialist party due to the attacks and that the "terrorists have won". They were saying that it´s wrong to vote having that in mind. They say that the spanish troops will be withdrawn because Spain has "bent its knees" to the terrorist threat.

Well, I think it´s the other way around. Surely the spanish peole took in consideration the attacks, but not as a cause, but as a consecuence. Many in Spain knew that those winds (bombing innocent people in Iraq for oil) would bring these storms (the train attacks) and that this had NOTHING to do with the war on terror. As they say here, "the bombs that were thrown in Iraq have begun to land in Spain". An it gets me even more angry to hear those comments on how wrong we are as to let the terrorists decide who would be the president. Well, I must say to those people that the only terrorist has been Aznar, and only he has been guilty of his defeat.

We are not stupid. We have been dealing with terrorists long before the U.S. We know that no terrorism can decide for us. But this has nothing to do with it. This is the punishment for the support of Aznar to Bush, to the war and for trying to lie and spin the truth of who bombed us before the election. Our people and our press did not shut up, they denounced it immediately. I hope that people like DU do the same in your country because most of us know that Bush does not represent the american people.

And one last thing. These fascists in your country want to make you believe that we elected the Socialist party instead of Bush´s friends (Popular Party) moved only by the train attacks and that is regrettable. Funny enough, I have seen that those same assholes are trying to do whatever it takes to capture Usama Bin Laden before the election so they gain support and win in November. That is nice. If they do it it´s OK, but if others do it(especially the devil "reds" or "liberals") , then it´s regrettable. A pity.
