Juan Cole's latest entry rebuts this charge rather comprehensively: http://www.juancole.com/2004_03_01_juancole_archive.html#107942407001890 750 Professor Cole also includes a rough translation of Zapatero's speech [those of you who know Spanish could follow the link included and read his entire speech]. In there is a sentence I hadn't come across before and which seems to answer Erik's question: "My most immediate priority is to fight all forms of terrorism (Mi prioridad mas inmediata es combatir toda forma de terrorismo).And my first initiative, tomorrow, will be to seek a union of political forces to join us together in fighting it. " The part after the speech's translation is where he addresses the point raised by Gautam - that the terrorists got what they wanted.
