You left out a little history. The Muslim armies conquered Spain a few
years before, imposing there religion on Spain.

So true, although there really wasn't a "Spain" as we know it today when the
Moors invaded. Also left out the Spanish missions to the Western Hemisphere,
etc etc. The Iberian Peninsula has indeed been the victim of forced religious,
political, and philosophical conversions as well as the perpetrator.

My point being; Spain may have greater reason to be wary of wars that are
religious
(or could be construed as religious) in nature. While the Alliance does not
characterize the war as "religious," the rabble rousers on other side do.

There is no doubt that Spaniards are far more familiar with Islamic culture and
tradition than most residents of the United States, if for no other reasons
than a long cultural history rich in Moorish influence and Northern Africa so
incredibly close by.

Anyone else want to chip in and help buy Tuuk a 3rd class seat to Iraq?

I will send you a first class seat Don. And I don't need others to help me
pay for it. LOL!

Let's see it Dennis. A a one-way first class ticket would run $6K.

I'm sure you're wife would understand when she saw the credit card
charge for Al Jazeera Airlines.

Spain Pulls Troops from Iraq, 10 U.S. Troops Killed
Sun Apr 18, 2004 06:20 PM ET

By Andrew Marshall

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Spain said Sunday it would withdraw its 1,400 troops
in Iraq as soon as possible, dealing a major blow to the U.S.-led
coalition as 10 U.S. soldiers were killed in fierce fighting against
guerrillas.


Socialist pussies! They are cowering in fear and the Muslims will soon be
using Spain as a launching pad for terrorist attacks in the rest of Europe.

Another day in rec.boats. I see 25 threads at a time with Google
groups. Today 21 of the first 25 are all off-topic.

What a crock of crap. You're really working hard to buy into the Bush
bull****, Bertie.

Bought into it? I'm selling it? Are you interested in buying. I can get you
a change of party affiliation card real quick!

When do you think Prince Bandar will lower oil prices to help his buddy
Bush?

I think that the Saudi's are about to be in a world of hurt. We are on our
way to getting completely out of the Kingdom and when we do, the radical
wahabists might just have a good old fashioned muslim theocratic revolution.

There's two or three war mongering Americans in this newsgroup that worry me
more than Iqaq. I'd better stay home.

They are men, where you are a pussy hiding behind your mama's skirt. You
believe it is safe behind the skirt and you hope the bad terrorists will
leave you alone if you keep your a low profile.

The Moors / Muslims conquered all the way into present day France. But
Southern Provence was part of Catalan, present day Barcelona. up the coast
around southern France to isle of Corsica. The French Croissant is the
Moorish / Turkish cresent emblem. At least the Moors, relate to boats and
waters.

Ya,,, you can stay home and hide under your covers,,, shivering like a
little animal,, and you admit that you have no courage or nuts to protect
yourself then you badmouth a nation that is protecting the world, and the
reason you are still a free country. It is because of America that Canada is
still free and peaceful.

Not at all.. I meant that I'm staying home to help protect the homefront
against a certain small minority group of war mongers who might be looking
for an excuse to invade, as was the case when the Fenians attacked in the
1860s. My great grandfather helped repel them at the border.
What's your excuse Bertie?
