Iīd say it would hit too close to home.
Portugal has a very poor security record, poor infrastructures, poorly trained anti-terrorism personel, it has supported Bush in the Iraq war and sent over troops, and has 2 major events comming up this summer:
The Rock in Rio music festival, and the Euro 2004.
Terrorists arenīt dumb. They are not going to try to bomb a place where they know they will have very slim chances of sucess. Portugal provides them with a perfect candidate. And, letīs not forget that the group responsible for the March 11 Madrid bombings, has written a letter of warning to us, promising a big hit like Madrid.
You wonīt see me in any stadium this summer, thatīs for shure!!
