I don’t know why the Spanish voted the way they did, but I have my suspicions.
Regardless- withdrawing from Iraq now, when the Iraqi people need international support the most, is cowardly, craven, immoral, and a sign of weak and feckless leaders. Period.
And, btw- while the loony left continues to assert falsely that there is no relationship between the war on terror and Iraq, only a fool would fail to recognize that ground zero in the war on terror is Iraq, so spare me the piddling remarks such as ‘Zapatero really wants to be serious about the war on terror.’
