#1 *Sigh.* More evidence that we've lost Spain . . .

What's so bad about inviting who you want to a wedding? Do I have to apologize to the guy down the street if I invite his ex-wife to my son's wedding?

#2 Saw the title and assumed this was going to be Scrappleface. Absolutely, disgustingly, pathetic.

#3 Is Zapatero going to measure the female members of his family for burkas so he doesn't "OFFEND" the Islamisists?

#4 Hey Zapatero get a CLUE! You offend them by living! Never mind about the party guest list.

#5 Spain should have responded by reversing their troop withdrawal in Iraq. Back at you Islamoid!

#7 Spain said it “regrets” inviting the widow of the Iranian shah and their son to Prince Felipe’s wedding.

Bwaaahahahahahahaaa!!!!!! Ass kissers!!!!

So Mr. Zapatero, how did the taste of a feces-encrusted rectum suit you?

#8 So what's in it for Spain? Oil, gas, flying carpets? Proceeds directly to PSOE?

#9 Did Zapatero attend some sort of European Academy of Groveling™? While nearly intrinsic to every iota of free thought, offending the Iranians is such a simple task that apologies are pretty much overkill.

If you have to say you're sorry to the Iranians, it should be for something more substantial; Like blowing the Guardian Council to Hades, or bombing their nuclear weapons power program into rubble, or disabling their oil export infrastructure, or buying off Australia's entire wheat crop so we can begin the process of starving these maniacal lunatics into "humiliating" submission.

People who you could invite to a royal Spanish wedding that might offend Iranian sensibilities encompass a minimum of 99.9999999999999% + 0.0000000000001% of the world's population.

#10 Zap-zapping is all very fun, but I must have missed the memo which said that IRNA is an unimpeachable news source. Who's in charge of impeaching news sources around here anyway?

#11 BruceBruce---Re: what's in it for Spain? They may not get boomed again for a while. No guarantees, Binny or whoever will think about it.

#13 I guess they already forgot about Atocha. Rather short term memory.....

#18 I think they invited an Iranian Mullah as well, but the Guardia Civil was afraid to let his security detail carry loaded AK's into the reception. Everyone was scared that they would open up when the bouquet was tossed and nobody spoke Farsi so ...
