A million. 99% of the Spanish people were vehemently and vocally opposed to Aznarīs pro Bush stance!.

I'm having trouble finding anything that's correct in this post.
Since so many here question the validity of US media, here's something from the BBC:
"Spanish voters rejected the Popular Party three days after the attacks,
even though it had led the opinion polls in the weeks leading up to the election."

While it may be true that a majority opposed his war stance, they couldn't have been too "vehement," judging from the election results.

This is unadulterated crap. My son lived in Madrid, and everyone he knew hated the Moroccans, in no small part due to their habit of mugging Spaniards.
They can practically wade over, but they arrive with nothing and have no qualms with forcing the locals to "donate" to them. In addition, Moroccans are well known to be a major conduit for bringing drugs into Spain.
It's also worthy of note that most of the train bombing suspects are Moroccans.

And yet, many of the people posting on this thread are vociferous in their demands for an increase in the minimum wage, and government giveaways to these same losers.
