the record, I am in favor of intervention in Libya, as favored to intervene in Iraq. I think a bloody dictator who massacres his people, threatening (and meets its threats) to themselves and others, has no future to be overthrown and be executed for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Therefore, in this post I will not evaluate the decision to intervene Libya, because I think we still fall short of what was decided: the aim should be to eliminate Qaddafi and try to have a system where the closest thing to a democracy with human rights, freedoms, etc.
But one thing that unnerves me so total cynicism. Spain in 2003 did not participate in the Iraq war, but defended his government diplomatically. Spain participated with United Nations mandate and with sixty other nations of the world, the country's reconstruction. From there, with lies, we took out of the infinite longings peace, lie to our allies mocked our soldiers cackling and throwing chicken feathers in their wake. Today, his speech (see video) does not differ from that used Aznar. Today, as then had a dictator who slaughtered his people and did not obey the UN resolutions, a dictator who had used force against his bulk. The difference? Two: So Spain was not involved in the attacks against the country and another in the reconstruction, and today was the first to put planes. The other, then the opposition behaved miserably and now he does it responsibly, almost servile.
Zapatero do not ask coherence. Do not ask for much: just ask forgiveness, as did the other day with nuclear, when in the government are the things differently, that there are responsibilities that can not be ignored. Then he did it by ignorance, inexperience .. is forgiven. But no, today makes us commune with treadmills ...
