Remember Madrid: March 11, 2004

Barcepundit commemorates the fifth anniversary of the Madrid train bombings with a simply-stated enumeration of the names of the dead.

Madrid Bombing

Jules Crittenden reminds us of the importance of March 11:

The attack was a victory for Islamic terrorism, which succeeded in changing a government and its foreign policy. The attacks tipped the balance in a close election just days later amid recriminations over the government’s initial focus on its other domestic terrorist problem, ETA. Spain, under its new socialist government, shortly afterward withdrew its troops from Iraq.
When I think of the Madrid bombings, I'm always reminded of the above picture of terror's deadly destruction, and I disabuse the antiwar idiots that "it couldn't happen here."

  1. Doesn't seem that long ago. Since then Britain has become a full fledged Islamic Nation how nice. America soon to follow..

  2. Yep, Spain surrendered to the 7th Century, illiterate camel-washing barbarians without so much as firing a shot.

    France and Britain aren't very far behind, and the Islamists have maneuvered the Canadian government into using their own laws to silence those who dare criticize the "religion" of Islam right here in North America.

    London is a huge city. I wonder how much it is going to cost for them to change all those maps and signs to read "Londonistan?"

  3. Having worked in London, it was odd to see so many Muslims there.

    Spain's capitulation to the left and to Islamic terrorists sent a bad signal to the world. It is now a winning formula for our enemies. The idiotic pacifists and pansies here have been rolling over like they did in Spain since 9-11.
