McGrath, I'm curious, who do you think the terrorists responsible for the Madrid carnage wanted to win the Spanish election?

I personally find the 'Kerry supported by..' thread (though in this case it is still a government and not a terorist organisation) in as bad taste as this thread. Even if we correctly guess the terrorists's point of view (the real, not the published one) for one particular decision what they think should in no way influence our decision.

Al Qaeda wants the oil to get more expensive, so do I.
Al Qaeda wants Bush getting reelected (let's assume for a moment that is true), I don't want him getting reelected.

These people should have no power on our minds and actions, even considering what they might like or not gives them too much power. Assuming it is true they want to get Bush reelected it should be as irrelevant as if they published that they opt for Kerry.
