In regards to the mass-transit bombings in Spain, consider it a trial run by
the terrorists. They have achieved the desired results -- i.e., shock, awe
and the electoral defeat of the incumbent Spanish administration, a U.S.
supporter in the global war on terrorism. We and our allies can expect this
to become the norm rather than the exception as the terrorists are now sure,
right or wrong, that they can influence the outcome of elections with timely
acts of terrorism.

The intense hatred of the current U.S. administration, coupled with the
success enjoyed by the terrorists in Spain, in my opinion, will no doubt
lead to yet another major attack on our shores shortly before the
presidential election in November. Those who believe that a change in the
current administration will stop the attacks are foolish. The intent of the
terrorists is to destroy our way of life regardless of who is in the White
House. They hope to get a weak administration elected that doesn't have the
will to continue the fight, thus making it easier to commit additional and
more spectacular acts of terrorism.

My two cents . . .
