Welcome Back to the War

Spain recently had a rude awakening. Article from the BBC:

Spain's prime minister says he made a "clear mistake" by being too optimistic about the prospect of peace talks with the Basque separatist group Eta.
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said he had predicted an improvement in the peace process - the day before a bomb attack on 30 December claimed by Eta...

"All Spaniards heard me say on 29 December that I had the conviction that things were better for us than five years ago and that in a year's time things would be better for us," Mr Zapatero told a special session of parliament debating Spain's anti-terror policies.


"Although it is not frequent among public leaders, I want to admit to all Spanish citizens the clear mistake I made," he said.

This is good news, but I pray Americans won't need to be shocked in the same manner back into supporting the fight in Iraq.
