Terrorists get the poll result they wanted

SPANISH voters have ousted America’s staunch ally in the war on terrorism and the liberation of Iraq, Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar.

This signals clearly to al-Qaida that their terror tactics can influence the comportment of sovereign states.

It’s now been clearly demonstrated that terrorism works in Europe, and the Islamist terror cells must be elated to know that they can count on the horrific brutality they inflict on large civilian populations to swing elections, and position heads of state who will promote their agenda behind the chimera of hard words while actually in retreat. It’s a sad day for freedom in western civilisation.
