Now it proves to terrorists that a couple of well placed bombs can alter a countries politics so drastically. I know in the run up to the Spanish election, that the prediction wasn't so great for the socialists. My impression was that: Yes, the war was an unpopular decisison, but everything else they did, with the economy, public services were right, so the popular party were expected to remain in power.

Given the 9/11 3 year aniversary is 2 months before the election, I think we can reasonably expect some kind of terrorist attack in that corridor to try and oust Bush. Oh, and plans for another terrorist attack on the States is 90% complete.
