#1 "Nobody is free of danger," he said. "There is not a single country not at risk. ... There's no neutrality against this kind of terrorism, and those who try to be neutral are probably those who will suffer most."

When I first saw Aznar, I would have never have pictured him as the type of steadfast companion that he has turned out to be. Among one's allies, a person always has several that will stick with you only until things get rocky. Aznar has proven time and again that he is a true member of the Coalition of the Willing not just a politician hoping for a little American pork for standing on the podium with Bush and Blair before the body bags start coming home. I expect and pray that history will be more than kind to him.

#3 Spain's support for the U.S.-led war in Iraq was "the pretext, not the cause" of the Madrid train bombings ...

I can only wonder how many more bombings it will require before Spain's people understand the full meaning of this statement.

#4 Start reading Iberian Notes, Zenster. And Hisperitas - you can find that link via Tim Blair.

They think they're immune, and when the tide turns, it will of course be our fault.
