A Win for Terror

David Frum's Diary on National Review Online

I can't say it any better, nor will I try.

Here's the problem I see with Frum. Here's a similar statement:

"Al Qaeda's past attacks against US interests were (at least partially) due to to their anger at US troop presence in Saudi Arabia. George Bush has now withdrawn US troops from Saudi Arabia. Therefore Al Qaeda's attacks 'worked' and George Bush appeased Al Qaeda."

So if you believe that logic, you might as well believe David Frum's piece. There's gonna be a lot of goofy, half baked political hay made of this Spanish issue.

Jacob Levy over at Volokh Conspiracy says it way better than I can.
