Zapatero hasn't even been sworn in yet and he won a week ago, what else can the man do but SAY he is committed. Maybe you don't understand that it is taken for granted that every Spanish government must and will fight terrorism.
If people didn't want the troops there in the first place, it's not appeasement.
The PP weren't going to win because of their policy on Iraq, in fact they were going to lose their majority because of it and other mistakes.
It's not that clear cut. But we must agree to disagree.
The Spanish government immediately said it was ETA with no evidence! The evidence mounted over three days that it was, while the government still pushed for the ETA explanation because it suited them. I saw it with my own eyes. Other conservative media outlets were reporting the links to al-Qaeda while the state sponsored TV blathered on about ETA.
A UN resolution passed just hours after denouncing ETA as the perpatrators? The PP acted quickly to get things swinging in their favour.
