Raise up the flag of Spain

Today our ally, an ally from the beginning, an ally in word AND deed. An ally in blood - was attacked.

A country of 40 million suffered 200 dead and 1200 hundred wounded in an attack which the Irish Minister of Justice correctly described as, "Perpetrated by cowards who are morally and ethically bankrupt." These loses are the biggest terrorist attack on the European continent in recent memory. It would be the equivalent of 1,200 dead and 7000 wounded, in our country.

The World and mainly our enemies are watching. Will we be like the French or will we be like the great Country we should always be. Lets show them all.

I propose that across this great land we start a drive to reach across the Atlantic to Spain. Let Freerepublic spearhead fund drives for Spain. Grassroots. People to People. No politics No Politicians. Call your talk show host on the local and national level. Call you pastors and neighbors. Your paper, the VFW, the American Legion. Call the Spanish Embassy - 1 202 452 0100.
Savage, Limbaugh, Hannity, FoxNews, hell call Geraldo.

Get on the Net. Get Pictures of the Flag of Spain and tape it next to Old Glory on your rear window or make bumper stickers. T Shirts, caps, ...... .

For a time, I, will raise up the flag of Spain next to the Red White and Blue flag that graces my home's entrance. They then will stand together in my front yard as our troops stand together on the front lines.... and as the rest of us stand in our homelands - shoulder to shoulder against the terrorist.

Courage is Important. Friendship is Important.
Today - The Courage of Friendship is Important.

I love this idea but would suggest the flags of Britain and Australia be included. The Aussies had Bali and the Brits are waiting for their shoe to drop. We are all in this together.

[TomasUSMC]

Your right on that. Lets show all our allies we stand with them. Were can I get flags fast? Ebay?

[Bob J]

Ebay is a good palce to start, there are also several companies that specialize in flags...US and international.

Let's wait and see. What will Spain do about it? Stage rallies and protests? Whine to the UN for meaningless resolutions? Or send 20,000 troops and some combat air craft to Afganistan and Iraq to hunt down and kill these animals?
