I want to restore death sentance. In this kind of crime there couldn't be other alternative.

[Huckleberry Finn]

It's just... horiffic...

I do not think it's ETA
rather Al-Qaeda

Probable. Spanish government also blames ETA. But it's possibly some smaller Basque separatist group.

But there is need to strike against all Basque terrorist groups.

They should go to jail for the rest of their lives, whether it´s ETA or Al Qaeda (the Spanish interior ministry already said it was ETA, let´s see if that´s confirmed). I don´t believe in the state killing people, and not just for the possible mistakes, it´s a matter of principle.

State killing people is unpleasant situation, BUT in case of serious war crimes and terrorist attacks, I can't see other alternative. In wars and terror thousands, millions innocent people be killed. Why we should be merciful toward those who are guilty all this killing? I consider that in normal peacetime society there is no need death penalty, (although I'm not sure about case of murder of child) but I can't see possibility that major nazi-criminals, for example, should have put only to jail.

there is need to strike against ALL terrorist groups. period. and that's goes first to Arab&muslims groups like Al-Qaeda, Hamas, hizballa and their supporters

I agree.

And there is also need to find some enduring solution to the problem between Israelis and Palestinians. Without it terrorism in your country will never end.

Although, today it's fairly hollow to say it, because of there IS enduring solution between Basques and Spain.

I really hope that it isn't Al Qaeda, because in this case there would be immediate terrorist threat in all around the Europe.

good morning Mr Finn

Morning?

as in you woke up finally

Oh, I think I see what you mean. But the threat against Sweden or Finland must be considered to be pretty minimal.

Menace against Sweden or Finland is pretty minimal, yes. But against UK, Italy, Holland, Denmark who all supported war on Iraq... I'm not so sure about threat against France and Germany. (They were both in Afghanistan, nevertheless)

I'm travelling to London in the next weekend. I have to admit that I fear little. But I don't know did this attack change anything. I consider that London was already high on the Al Qaeda's target list.

What kind of feelings you have our fellow British members?

In September 2001 I was going to New York. Our plane should have started in 9/14. It was canceled of course. Now it feels that it all is happening again.

[Huckleberry Finn]

No doubt. It's Al Qaeda! Those animals!

What Spanish government should do right now is increase their participation in operation in Iraq and Afghanistan. That would be right signal to terrorists. It will be huge mistake, if Spain withdraw from the war on terror under public pressure. It only would encourage  new attacks in other countries.

I hope that conservatives will win today's election.  Although I don't believe that socialists would change Spanish foreign policy after this all.
