Aznar is a noble man, and the “Miss me yet?” of Spain.
¿Me echais de menos ya? "Do You Miss Me Yet?" Truly one of the good guys!
Aznar was good for Spain. After the Madrid bombings, the public rolled over. How’s that appeasement working out for ya, Espana?
Obama is our Zapatero.
Aznar was and is a good man and a serious politician.
Too bad we don't have a picture of him grinning, like the Bush pix.
Two great Presidents and men! I miss President Bush, and Spain misses Premier Aznar. God bless them both. P.S.: My dad is Spanish, and I have relatives in Spain. They indeed miss Aznar!
