I would argue that prior to Spain's joining of the "big two" in the Azores, 90% of the Spanish people had been against the war on terror. 11-M occurs and Aznar's government starts immediately blaming Eta. Why? Because to blame AQ would mean that Aznar's actions had brought a war the Spanish people didn't want into their Capital city. When it becomes clear it was AQ and not Eta, the Spanish epole then felt the government had lied to them to get them into a war they didn't want,a nd then lied to them about the consequences.
Getting rid of Aznar's party was therefore a logical conclusion to a government that clearly was operating beyond the mandate of the people.

They reject reason, it is as simple as that. They view science as an evil, yet they blame everyone else for their poverty. They continue to support dictatorships in their own land, they oppose Capitalism and then again blaim it on the west.

Both of those are up to them. The Victorians tried this argument at the start of the 20th century. Didn't work then either.

They are attacking us because philosophicaly the United States and Israel are complete opposites to Islam. You are underesimating the power of the wrong ideals.

I wasn't aware Hamas was attacking the US. They often trot out a lot of rhetoric, but up until now have kept their terror within Israel. I would argue that for most Palestinians, the role of the US is actually simpler than ideoligical, The US has essentially given Israel a permenent seat on the UN security council.
I try not to underestimate anyone, but i also know that nothing in this life is black and white. The devil, as they say, in the detail.
