I think based on your personal involvment, that the attack is tragic and only those who were trying to go to work and who were likely against the Iraq War, to begin with, were made victims.
Had the attack not occurred, the election would have been different, some speculate. This indicates that the current regime was not all that bad, despite certain pimples on its face.
Since it did, Al Queda got to kill innocent Spaniards and oust the party they did not want.
As I said in post 1, if the election was going to oust the old party anyway the whole discussion is moot.
The crux of this discussion is that the bombing DID change the election outcome, the veracity of this statement I cannot argue.
But above all else, I will STFU as I can appreciate your emotion on the subject and keep my 3rd party objectivity silent, as now may not be the time or place to express it. Sorry.
