That's a way to interpret what happened (not mine ). Another way is to think that some spanish people changed their mind because:

1- The government lied to them about who was responsible for the attack
2- It reminds them that Aznar involved them in a war almost none of them wanted

I don't think the first reaction of countries struck by a terrorist attack is to surrender. And that's specially true for the spanish people who have fought against ETA for years.
