In Spain when Osama and Al-Qaeda engineered an attack just before the election, the Spanish people were cowed down and voted the government out and brought in the socialists. Here, When osama delivered a warning not to re-elect bush just before the elections, we went ahead and put him in power again. Why did Spain bow down and we stand up in the face of terror than giving into it ? What is the difference in our national character that caused this, given the diversity of peoples here in the United States as compared to Spain ? How do you explain this ?
Why did Mecca give up to Mohammad's tactics ? What did they gain ?
This is a question for the Religion and Spirituality section - I believe the answers may have something to do with our understanding of faith and national character.

Because they have a very large population of muslims and they do not want terrorism on every morning news, in all the coffee shops and etc, they are SCARED and just dont want to fight. That is what terrorism is....it is to terrorize the people into submission. It worked because the people just plan dont want to fight, it is not worth it to them. Just wait until all of Western Euro is Islamic, they then will once again look across the ocean to their "other savor" and plead for help. Well.....it just maybe too late by then.
Ask them what it means to paint their hands white and stand in the square showing the world their palms means. Its ashame, but humans are humans, they dont want to die, and this is one thing the terrorist have on them is that they the terrorist know this only too well.

It is a good deal more complex than you make out. Spain has had terrorism of many types going on for decades, primarily through separatist movements in the North-East, and is well aware of the realities of a terror campaign. Also, the Spanish population did not want to be in the war to begin with: there was no "cowing" of formerly hyped up individuals...
And maybe they are more interested in the lives of their population and soldiers than we are...

The Spanish people were fooled by the "Diversity" pablum.
They have been feminized and Socialized by the same group of One-Worlders that seek to weaken the USA: Liberals.
Luckily, America can still count warriors among their ranks.
I am in no way bashing gays or any other group, just pointing out the inherent stupidity of liberalism.
France suffers the same disease as Spain--Socialism--and I will not see this become the fate of my country.
Good question, wish I had more time to answer.

The Spanish government lied and tried to blame Basque seperatists thus proving they could not be trusted. That was the main reason not the terrorist attack in themselves. Your leader has also demonstrably lied but you re-elected him.
So the difference is you are more stupid and gullable than the Spanish

We re-elected Bush just because Osama told us not to? Man, that's depressing.
