The one thing to remember, is that only 43% of Spain voted for appeasement. 38% voted to continue the war on terror. The remaining 19% were off in Nader-Nader land.

Very true.

But where did I hear that only one Spaniard in ten thought they should be involved in Iraq?

Europeans do not tie the war on terror to the war in Iraq. Neither to Democrats.

That's why I think it's impressive that 38% voted for the existing goevernment, even though most of them disagreed with the involvement in Iraq. They realized that it's important to stand up to terrorism, and the realized it's important to stand behind an ally who's been as good to them as we have, even if they don't agree with everything we do.

Perhaps if Aznar had been running again the results would have been different.
