Now we see who are friends really are, and it's ironic. The Polish people and other east europeans know what it's like to live with a boot on their collective necks. The rest of europe will have to be saved from itself once again in the future. I say let the a-holes eat cake when they ask for help in the future.

Question, Do Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and the Spainish really think this will protect them from the radical Muslim terrorists?
Are they really that dumb?

There is hope...even with the shameful loss of Spain.

God bless the resolute and loyal Poles.

Well, let's put this into proper context. It's not Zapatero and "the Spanish". It's Zapatero and the 42% of Spanish voters who put him into office just like it was Bill Clinton and the 43% percent of American voter that put Bubba into office in 1992.

Now, to answer your question.

Are Zapatero and those voters who believe him that stupid?

Yes.

"Question, Do Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and the Spanish really think this will protect them from the radical Muslim terrorists? Are they really that dumb?..."

Unfortunately history often repeats itself. They believe pacifying their enemies will spare them the horror of war. Initially they may be right, they may be spared for some time to come. But as history has taught us so many times; the end result will only be multiplied in the horror it delivers. They will be forced to fight; but when that time comes the costs will be so much higher.

Are they dumb? No, just ignorant and naive - very similar to the left that wishes to take power in this country. God helps us all if they succeed.

IMHO

Very forgetful of history, the costs they endured in freeing their land from Islamists, and the renewed claims the Islamists have made on that land (and that's IF one wants to be charitable).
