Hanson is wrong in denouncing the Spanish as appeasers. It was a dead-heat election before the bombs. Most of the voters did not support Aznar's pro-US policy in Iraq, yet at least half of them were willing to vote to keep his party (and his policies) in power. Hanson does not once mention the blame immediately and unjustifiably cast by Aznar upon ETA. This is unbelievable. Ever single credible report suggests that it played a part in changing some voters' minds. This political dynamic does not somehow transfom the Spanish into appeasers. It is wrong and dngerous to think in such black-and-white terms. Of course, the Spanish will be allies in the WOT. After all, the insano-Islamists have proved to them that they are targets. We need to keep support or lack of it for the Iraq war and the WOT in two different categories. The lack of support for one does not automatically translate into a lack of support for the other. Or into appeasement. Hanson, with whom I generally agree, is way off-base on this one.
