These are acts of terrorism in their purest forms...and while they are acts of cowardice, it's even worse to see governments give in to thier demands.

if this was a "black and white war"...with two cleary distinct sides.... would Spain have given up so easily if it had taken a loss? Very doubtful. but this isn't the case, and only countries that actualy have the determination to see this through to the end will stay fight. it's pretty sad to see a country give in to the very thing they were fighting against

^ Exactly.  If you allow terrorism to 'work', you're giving yourself into the whim of anyone who disagrees with anything the country does.
