西班牙想做什么就做什么

该报在周四的社论中表示,西班牙应该继续在伊拉克驻军。我不明白为什么。那里的人口压倒性地反对伊拉克战争(超过80%)。他们从来都不是基地组织的目标。该报在周四的社论中表示,西班牙应该继续在伊拉克驻军。我不明白为什么。那里的人口压倒性地反对伊拉克战争(超过80%)。在他们开始帮助我们打这场根本不需要打的战争之前,他们从来都不是基地组织的目标。一些心胸狭窄、沙文主义的傻瓜可能会说:“如果不是美国,西班牙人现在可能都在说德语了。”这显然是荒谬的。我们没有给西班牙带来多少好处。 We fought petty colonial wars with them and we supported a fascist dictator in their country who threw many leaders of the recently elected Socialist Party in jail. We have always treated Spain as a mean to our ends. Maybe, having seen its worst terrorist attack (in a country that has small scale attacks all the time, courtesy of ETA), made the Spanish people think twice about their conservative leader and his one minded support for American interests. Spain is a sovereign nation, and if its people don’t want to be in a war, they shouldn’t have to be. James Downing CAS ’06 207 441 6708
