Faced with the challenges posed by the war against international terrorism, which were only heightened by the attacks in London and Madrid, European countries were forced to adapt and expand their anti-terror legislations.
Forced?!?!??? Yeah, terror legislation is inevitable, we can only implement what is already 'forced' upon us by circumstance. No choices were made at all! Much like we are 'forced' to liberalise, deregulate and privatise 'markets' no doubt.
Spain was not "forced" to adapt and expend its anti-terror laws like the UK did. It's always a choice. "It's the statue, man, The Statue."
