Much has changed in Europe since the Iraq war and international politics, the French pacifist Chirac (1) to France with hopes of leading European destinations.
Spain with a desire to be recognized as a power but to get Aznar did not hesitate to introduce us into a war, the pacifist and anti-American Spain Zapatero, but oh ... the designs of life, Zapatero pacifist and friend of all global satraps , mission impossible dreamer and lover of "Dialogue of Civilizations" will end his days in office (Day 2 is expected to announce his intention not to stand for elections) leaving a legacy mired in another war in the East, but would not be fair note that this time with the approval of the "brothers of charity" that make up the UN - which is not to say that this war is neither more nor less fair than Iraq, where Saddam was involved in gassing the Kurds and torturing his people (2).
Coincidence or simple twists of fate? The pacifist Zapatero leaves and leaves us immersed in the war with Libya at the moment.
The Prime Minister lines up his final year in office embedded in the combat suit
Zapatero himself eight years ago the slogan of waving "No to war" and stigmatized José María Aznar for supporting military intervention in Iraq, no doubt placed in the front row when enforcing Muammar Gaddafi to the Security Council resolution urging you to stop attacks against rebels and civilians Libya.
On March 16, 2003, the island of the Azores witnessed the meeting between George Bush and Tony Blair José María Aznar, the president of Portugal, Jose Manuel Durao Barroso as the host. U.S. President, in view of the impossibility of obtaining a new Security Council resolution to strengthen the legitimacy of military action against Iraq, wanted to show the world that, in any event, had two important allies in Europe, not willing only support an attack to topple Saddam Hussein, but also to stage such a stance. The venue was proposed by the then head of the English, who wanted to stress the Atlantic vocation of Spain and was looking through the loop with the United States a greater say in her world. The
Photo Azores raised latent anti-Americanism in many parts of the PSOE, including its secretary general, which revealed some months later to sit in step with the American flag during the parade on National Day Holiday. Zapatero fed Bush's discomfort with the abrupt withdrawal of English troops from Iraq immediately upon arrival at La Moncloa and the call from Tunisia to other countries will follow suit.
Gradually, Zapatero was perceiving the harm caused its position in the image of Spain and the relationship with Washington, which only improved with the arrival deBarack Obama to the White House. Albeit at the cost of accepting the demands of the President U.S. to increase the English military presence in Afghanistan, where there are already 1521 soldiers and 40 Civil Guards.
Ensign of the Alliance of Civilizations
The Government that came with the band of pacifism and championing the ethereal Alliance of Civilizations, is ending its days with more than 3,000 members of the armed forces in missions abroad and in the forefront of an act of war.
So Zapatero came hurrying to the call of Nicolas Sarkozy, who, contrary to what his predecessor, Jacques Chirac, to prevent the resolution being sought in the case of Iraq has taken the lead this time operation. But the picture of Paris is also, as in the Azores, a British prime minister and a member of the U.S. Government: Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.
Snapshot of course is more comprehensive because it is a dozen leaders, among which you can see, along with European Union leaders, the secretary general of the Arab League, Amro Musa, symbolizing support for military action by Arab countries, some of which have announced they will contribute troops. And there is the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, whose presence is a huge relief for Zapatero has always underlined its commitment to multilateralism and its desire to see before deciding on any military intervention had the support of the Security Council United Nations.
Still, it can give the fact that he criticized Aznar for supporting the invasion of Iraq would exceed by implication, by sending English troops to the operation against Qaddafi. In the intervention in Iraq, the U.S. requested the English Government to furnish the aircraft carrier Principe de Asturias. " Aznar gave no answer, as indicated by Javier Rupérez
in his book "Memoirs of Washington" and, as Bush, who preferred doing things their troops did not pursue, the reality was that no English military involved in acts of war. The Government simply to send a contingent of humanitarian aid in three Navy ships and later, and with new UN resolutions, a total of 1,300 soldiers.
This time, however, the Government may participate in the mission against Libya and naval aircraft, which means actual participation in combat operations. LUIS
