I'd be surprised if the Brit's are simply 'made of heartier stuff' than the Spaniards. Spain has had issues w/ the Basques for decades, and are familiar with terrorism.
Maybe the actual issue of the War in Iraq had some play w/ the Spaniards, as opposed to their innate cowardness? Maybe the two countries actions can be chalked up to political differences, as opposed to historical and racial ones. Just a thought.
