Show me where I said that Spain was stupid for electing who they did? Show me how pleased I was that Arnold was elected into office and Davis out... If you, as a people, support a war than fight in it, if you don't than don't fight in it... Is that so hard to understand?

Oh, I do love the Canadian humorists- Robertson Davies, Kids in the Hall, Mike Myers- and now Asher.

Canada- the country famous for not being the United States.

Jonathan Swift must be pleased that his satirical mantle is draped around the Albertan Danny Bonnaduce.

Danny Bonnaduce should die. He's ugly and can't act.

Plus red hair is awful.

Not to mention providing substantial amounts of oil to the US War Machine.
Yeah, but there's still the whole Bryan Adams issue.

In a true international moment in 1994, I was part of an Atlanta crowd that booed Adams offstage when he opened for the Rolling Stones.

I support the war and still do, and I'm equal to 20 euro posters on 'Poly, which makes me right in this thread.

This thread isn't about the war or at least it shouldn't be. It's about the stupidity of Saint Marcus.

Exactly! They just want to lull Europe into a false sense of (relative) security, so their next attack can be even bigger.

Um... If Al-Qaeda calls a truce, that's fine by me. It's not like this actually changes anything, except maybe a few less (attempted) attacks.

Japher, calm down, will ya? Actually SM is alone so far with his opinion on the relevance of this "truce", even among his fellow Europeans. This includes commies like Spiffor and Anarchists like me.

They're calling a truce, they're not calling for a truce. That means Europe doesn't have to change anything (Zapatero already decided to pull out the Spanish troops, right?). It's not like any security agencies will actually take a break now, or any other European nations will withdraw any troops.

So they can call their truce all they want... I think that's also what Saint Marcus means.

Or Spain and E.T.A. , Italy and the Red Brigades, Great Britain and the I.R.A. , Germany and Baader Meinhof and the Rote Armee Fraktion, France and Carlos the Jackal....

all instances where 'Europe' DIDN'T give in to terrorism.

I do not for one moment believe that Spain 'gave in' to Al Qaeda- when they wouldn't do so in six decades of struggle with E.T.A. .

Still, I'm sure it suits the opinions of some Americans (and others) to view Europeans as being 'soft' on terror, or more easily influenced than Americans.

After all, the Eurocommies have had so little experience of terrorist atrocities, haven't they?
