Give The Terrorists What They Want: Vote For Bush Conservatives are quick to criticize the Spanish for 'giving the terrorists what they want' by electing the Socialists to power.

The more heavy-handed and agressive our foreign policy becomes, the larger the terrorist network grows. Nobody has increased the power and prestige of Osama Bin Laden more than George Bush.
