| Re: The Election in Spain
The straw that broke the back of Spain's voters' support for Aznar's party was the LIE advanced after the attacks. The unwillingless of Aznar's government to examine any other possible responsible group for the bombings, other than the group ETA.
In fact, Aznar's party immediately claimed that ETA WAS responsible.
An article appeared on the front page of a paper read on Washington Journal this morning. It said, within the story, that a reporter, pre-election, suggested the possibility of Al-Quada in the bombings.
The reporter was repudiated by an official of Aznar's government.
And that is why Spain's ruling party lost. They attempted to deceive the people with a LIE, as to the identity of those responsible for the train bombings.
Couple that reason with the FACT that 90% of Spainards OPPOSED the Iraq Invasion.
SPAINARDS do not support President Bush's War: that is the message this election sent to the world (and US).
That message, and this one: LIE to your people (the true source of government) at YOUR peril.
