n Marichi 11, 2004, kutangotsala masiku ochepa kuti chisankho chovuta chichitike, bomba linaphulika pafupifupi nthawi imodzi pa sitima zinayi zonyamula anthu ku Madrid, kupha anthu opitilira 190. Bomba lisanaphulitsidwe, chipani cha Socialist Party (PSOE) chinali kumbuyo kwa mapointi asanu pamavoti, koma adapambana ndi mapoints asanu. Chipanichi chinalonjeza kuti ngati chidzapambana chisankho, dziko la Spain lidzatuluka mu Iraq mu miyezi isanu ndi umodzi. Izi zinachitika pambuyo pa zisanu zokha. Sindikupeza umboni wa uchigawenga uliwonse wokhudzana ndi ku Middle East ku Spain kuyambira pomwe, ngakhale zikuoneka kuti zalephereka.
Mbiriyi ikhoza kupereka phunziro lovuta ku Britain tsopano, patatsala masiku ochepa kuti chisankho chichitike pambuyo pa ziwopsezo zingapo pafupi ndi London Bridge. Prime Minister yemwe ali pampando Theresa May amathandizira pafupifupi nkhondo zonse zomwe Britain idachitapo. Mosiyana ndi izi, mtsogoleri wa Labor Jeremy Corbyn adadzudzula pafupifupi nkhondo iliyonse.
Zinthu ku Spain zidakulitsidwa ndi boma lomwe lidalipo la José María Aznar (tsopano wotsogolera ku Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation), yemwe adadzudzula gulu la Basque ETA chifukwa cha chiwembucho. Izi zachititsa kuti anthu azinyansidwa ndi boma. Koma nchifukwa ninji boma linanama ponena za kutengapo mbali kwa ETA poyambirira? Linaona—mwinamwake molondola—kuti anthu a ku Spain akakwiya kwambiri kuti mwazi wochuluka wakhetsedwa ku Madrid pobwezera kuloŵerera kwa Spain m’kuukira dziko la Iraq, kumene kunali kosakondedwa kwambiri.
Fananizani njira yomwe Spain idatenga ndi ya France, yomwe poyambirira idadzudzula kuukira kwa Iraq. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, dziko la France lakhala lothandizira kwambiri, makamaka ku Syria - dziko lomwe kale linali dziko la France. Zakhalanso chandamale chauchigawenga m'dzina la Islam m'zaka zaposachedwa.
Ndizofunikira kudziwa kuti kulumikizana pakati pa kuwukira kwa Madrid mu 2004 ndi zisankho sikunanyalanyazidwe kapena kuyimiridwa molakwika. Chaka chatha, kutsatira kuphedwa ku Orlando ndi Omar Mateen, pokambirana za momwe kuukiraku kungakhudzire chisankho cha US, Dina Temple-Raston, "mtolankhani wotsutsana ndi zigawenga" wa NPR adasinthiratu phunziro lomwe likuwonekera ku Madrid. Ananenanso kuti pambuyo pa kuwukira ku Madrid, "chipani chotsatira chidapambana." NPR idakana kupereka kuwongolera pamlengalenga pa izi bodza lamkunkhuniza.
Inde, kusankhidwa kwa boma la Corbyn sikutsimikizira kutha kwa zigawenga ku Britain. Chifukwa chimodzi, sizikuwonekeratu kuti Corbyn azitsatira malingaliro olimbikitsa mtendere, osalowererapo. Posachedwapa, akuwoneka kuti akudzipatula ku maudindo oyambirira, monga kuchoka ku NATO. Pomwe chipani cha Socialist ku Spain chidalonjeza kuti chichoke ku Iraq, Manifesto ya Labor ilibe chikole chotere.
Theresa May, komabe, adathandizira mfundo zolowererapo zomwe zidathandizira kukhazikitsa mikhalidwe yosinthika. Makamaka, pomwe May anali mlembi wanyumba, UK idalola zigawenga zochokera ku Libya Islamic Fighting Group (yomwe wophulitsa bomba ku Manchester anali membala) kuti apite ku Libya kuti akatenge Muammar Gaddafi John Pilger ndi Nkhani za Consortium, Paul Mason ndi The Guardianndipo Max Blumenthal pa Alternet). Imeneyi ndi mfundo imene Corbyn wanena mosapita m’mbali koma momveka bwino: “Akatswiri ambiri amanena za kugwirizana kwa nkhondo zimene boma lathu lakhala likuchirikiza kapena kumenya m’mayiko ena ndi uchigawenga wa kuno kwathu.” Awonjezanso kuti: "Tiyenera kukhala ndi zokambirana zovuta, kuyambira Saudi Arabia ndi mayiko ena a Gulf omwe athandizira ndikulimbikitsa malingaliro ankhanza."
