The Spanish vote - revisited

The left and the right are barking at each other over this Spanish vote thing.

Woof woof.

Grr, woof.

Me, I’m on the side that thinks it’s a bad idea to remove troops from Iraq right now. One of my reasons is that it’s what the terrorists want. Consequently, I think that those that voted for the new government in Spain knowing this was on the agenda have given the terrorists something they desire.

Those that voted for the new government on the basis of the troop withdrawal alone at the very least deserve the title of deserters in my opinion.

Those that voted for the new government thinking that it would save them from further attacks are appeasers.

Those that voted for the new government because of their socialist policies, economic intentions etc. and who were not particularly interested in the Iraqi thing could, at a push, be described as deserters. You know, more interested in something other than this war on terror thing but it’s not so clear cut in my mind. They may well think that this whole war on terror is a bit of a paper tiger but I find that hard to swallow given the recent events in Madrid.

Anyway, it’s a bit of a mixed bag but none of it brings anything positive into the war.
