"The only nation in the world to completely overthrow communism was Spain, and it took a long and bloody war to do it."
Ahem, you forgot to point out that Spain is now communist controlled again, thanks to Islamic terrorists and their top-shelf brand of evil.
Zapatero isn't OPENLY communist, and I don't think the Spanish communist Party has completely figured him out yet.
I'm hoping that at worst he's an Eurosocialist.
Time will tell I guess.
