Roger...your selectivity gets very tiresome at times. I am not trying to insult you, but the damn must win at all cost is too much. Did you miss the freaking part of my post that said:

SPAIN IS ARMING VENZUELA. AND HE (McCain) NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHO OUR FRIENDS ARE. And the context was within Latin American Discussions including Venezuela.

As for the terrosist attack - Spain did not suffer a terrorist attack because of us. They suffered a terrorist attack because of terrorists who wanted to and did successfully change the ourcome of the elections. Spain was involved in Afghanistan and Iraq. And do you forget they caved into the terrorists and let the terrorists decide things for them and they pulled out of Iraq a little over a month after the bombing? They gave up on Iraqis and abandoned them as well as us. Now Spain is in bed with Venzuela and they won't help with terrorism issues either. They hide their head in the sand. They now coddle Muslims and arm those who make their enemy status to the US well known.

It is nice to think that everyone could just sit down, blow a bone, wave peace signs in hte air and get along. The world will NEVER be that way. NEVER EVER. To beleive so is idealistic and not reasonable. The strong survive....the weak die away. Every so often those with dreams of world domination come along and neeed to be delat with. Wars start over resources. Russia just attacked Georgia, threatened tiny Montenegro and Poland as well as us. That has to do with them. And the K, the B and G thing....well the guy IS former KGB...and he has managed to get the young people in his country to HATE us. They HATE us. Now he does indeed dream of the former Russian state....have no doubt.

i think you could use a good read of Greece...the pre and post Battle of Thermopolae. This story explains very well the United we Stand and Divided we Fall thingy. And even explains the whole Battle agasint the West and hatred towards it that extends all the way back to there in the Middle East when King Xerxes of the Persians (Early Iranians by the way) attacked Greece before there were Muslims. (So much for Ahmidinijaad's claims of 7000 years of history of not attacking anyone.)
