I would add one more small straw to the pile. I admired the Spanish police for their continuing work tracking down and arresting the perpetrators after the Muslim friendly Socialists under Aznar came into power. Seemingly Aznar knuckled under to the terrorists but the police did not.
I did sometimes wonder, however, how the Spanish police could act so independently of the new government, since Aznar is clearly a control freak. If the police were complicit and working with Aznar, that would certainly explain that little mystery. They weren't working in defiance of the new Prime Minister, they were working for him all along.
Huh? I think you mean Zapatero - Aznar was the former PM, who was NOT a Socialist. The current one, who is a Socialist and was elected after March 11, is Zapatero. And he's really, really bad news.
