All very true. Though Franco's forces would not have won the Spanish Civil War without German assistance, he did stay neutral in WWII. Most importantly, he didn't allow the Germans passage through Spain in order to take Gibralter, which was hugely important.

OK, ok fair enough, I will give Franco himself a pass. My derision is more directed against many in Spain who may have despised Franco, but actually were very happy that at least he kept Spain from the fighting. Just as I believe most Spaniards would like to see AQ destroyed, but don't want to get their hands dirty. To me that's even worse than the French, at least the French did fight a bit before surrendering.
