OK, do I mean this to all of Spain? Well, perhaps the saying, "If the shoe fits, wear it." is most appropriate here.

How do I come to this statement?  Easy.  In these times of angry arabs that clearly hate America because we have beauty pageants, big houses and happy lives ...we Americans know what it means to pay the price for freedom.

When our allies "cut and run" they empower these fools, these clowns, these monsters to continue their evil, and I mean flat out evil. I used to think only Americans were capable of shifting blame and NEVER taking responsibility for their problems. The fact is the arabs have it all over us. This point needs no further explaination.

So why am I offering up this sarcastic "Thank you" to Spain? Oh, my list is long...

First there is this: http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/04/14/iraq.hostages.int/index.html

Here is a blurb from the above link:

Italy confirms hostage executed
Reports: Two more Japanese abducted
Wednesday, April 14, 2004 Posted: 9:31 PM EDT (0131 GMT)  - CNN

(CNN) -- The Italian foreign minister has confirmed that one of a group of four Italian hostages in Iraq has been executed.
Minister Franco Frattini told Italian state television that the nation's ambassador to Qatar viewed a portion of the videotaped execution and confirmed that the slain hostage was Fabrizio Quattrocchi, who was working in Iraq as a private security guard.

The Al-Jazeera TV network said Wednesday it received a videotape allegedly showing the killing, in which the abductors threaten to kill the remaining hostages if their demands are not met.

Al-Jazeera said it did not broadcast the tape because it was too graphic.

Cheney Pledges Support to Koizumi

Monday, April 12, 2004 - Associated Press
 
TOKYO — Vice President Dick Cheney thanked Japan's prime minister Monday for not giving in to Iraqi insurgents and kidnappers who are demanding withdrawal of Japanese troops in exchange for the release of Japanese hostages.

What is clear is that Spain's lack of backbone set all this in motion.  You can bet if terrorist plan on bombing America ever again they will press to do it just before our next election in hopes that our nation will react in the same manner as the majority of Spain.  They voted their emotion to quit Iraq in hopes that terrorist would leave their country (Spain) alone.  And has it worked? No. Spain has since found more bombs along their most prestegious rail lines as well as have more bombers blow themselves up in Spain. Meanwhile the first thing Spain's new leader did the day of his winning bid for election was announce they were beaten and leaving Iraq.  Great going Spain.  Now the rest of us have to eat what you've served us.

This is what we have to show for your actions Spain:

My source.
And this doesn't even mention the fact other civillian Americans were already killed during this rash of kidnappings. Why? Because they'd rather kill us than kidnap us.  Tommy Hamill is alive because they only needed one live American to make thier point.  My heart goes out to his family and HIM.  He knows his fate.  What evil must these people be to exist the way they do. Now I hate them. I've seen some senseless violence in my life.  What I see from the middle eastern culture blows it all away.  They enjoy hurting others.  They justify EVERYTHING and never take responsibility for their actions.  What purpose do these monsters serve on this planet?  It is sad that we have to avoid hurting the innocent, because most Americans now know that killing these monsters is the only real solution.  We will never change the hearts of these men. They are cold to the core. They teach their children to hate us.  Democracy could free their hearts but is becoming clear that key is unatainable.
 
So thanks Spain. You made a bad situation almost impossible. But you are a neighbor to France... At least they openly show their contempt for us.
