Filmore,

"Spain sent troops to Iraq despite huge public opposition. And the public was right as rain on this issue. All those people died because Aznar chose to be a Bushie stooge rather than a representative of the Spanish people."

I agree with all of those statements, but my position is not nonsense.

I should have been more specific.

Point one, screw Zapatero was more a statement of my general dislike of him and socialists.

Point two, Irrespective of who the Spanish people were going to vote for, I thought a terrible precedent was established for cause and effect of terriorist activity. They should have delayed the election a month or two and I'm sure the result would have been the same.

As for Iraq, well its a bad situation, poorly conceived, and ultimately counterproductive to our efforts to stop the terrorists. I support our troops, but not this war.

Good Trading
