Hmmmm...does everyone think there will be bombs in America cos of what happened in Madrid? (ie. a terrorist attack to manipulate public opinion during the election campaign)
I think this may be a little bit off the mark (altho I am certainly not saying they wont target America) as I do not think they will attack America with the same intentions as in Madrid. Let me explain...
They attacked Spain to get rid of the old government and install one that would get the troops out of Iraq (and now, apparently, Afghanistan too). However, would they attempt the same in the US? Do you think, if they are as clever as we believe them to be, that they think that this would work over their?
Europeans have a strong culture of being quite anti-government, yet in America, it is patriotic to support your current government. Its as if its a competition between two parties until the actual election, then after that all group together (from what I can gather, please feel free to correct me?)
So in Madrid, the government did get the blame, and the people elected a new government...would the same happen in America? Very few people would blame Bush I suspect, and it may have the opposite affect of them keeping him in power as an act of defiance?
Saying that, who does al-Qaida want - Bush or Kerry?
Bush by a long shot! He's done wonders for their membership and strength!
