The plane, Zapatero said, "has turned this historic moment into a moment in which cooperation and globalisation are giving rise to more peace and justice."
Ahhhh, don't those words make you feel all warm and fuzzy??
So does this mean socialism is now officially defunct? Here we have a doctrinaire socialist attaching "social justice" platitudes to a new product rollout by a megacorporation. I don't this is what the Left had in mind back in 1917.
I am not pro Chirac/Schroeder, and Zapatero is of course a weasel, but what he said is perfectly true.
Anything that reduces transportation costs is good for everybody. It would be better if the US had built the thing, but so be it.
