46. if this were just an anti-war message....

According to the BBC News Hour which did 20 minutes in the Spanish election... the Socialists were constantly running behind in the polls. If there was a strong anti-war sentiment... why didn't it show up there?

What changed were the bombings... a reaction that the government lied blaming ETA... and that the support of the Iraq war made Spain a Al Quida target.

None the less.... I'm quite happy that the current government got their butts kicked.
