TERRORISTS!
If the idiots in College Park take to the streets and vandalize things because their stupid team won or lost a friggin game, does that make them terrorists?
While I kinda like socialists, I'm really worried that in Spain the socialists are being credited with a landslide win based on the terrorist attacks. Now the new government is already declaring that they're pulling their troops from Iraq. What I find scary is that a terrorist attack is going to be sucessful in changing the ruling party and getting a country to pull out of Iraq. Right or wrong, they could have pulled out any other time and it wouldn't matter, but in response to a terrorist attack sets a horrid precedent.
What's to stop the terrorists when blowing shit up becomes a viable way to get your way?

I do like the economic angle though, when the bills are paid, the people are fed and things are basically okay its tough to get anyone worked up over a principle or abstract concept. Life's just too good.
