But what if Spain - and Europe as a whole - had reacted in the opposite way to the Madrid train bombing of April, saying: "We promise that because of that slaughter we will double our support for stabilization in Iraq by sending twice as many troops, experts, engineers, teachers, policemen, doctors, and billions of euros in support of allied forces and their Iraqi co-workers." The triumph of terrorists would have been transformed into a triumph of the war on terror.
但如果西班牙，和整个欧洲，对4月马德里火车爆炸事件处理相反，结果又将如何？如果他们宣布："由于这次屠杀，我们会加倍支持伊拉克的稳定力量，派遣两倍人数的军队、专家、技术人员、教师、警察、医生，拨款成百上千亿美元支持盟军和他们的伊拉克战友。"如果这样，恐怖分子的胜利就会变成反恐战争的胜利。
