As if we will have a choice after Iran attacks us. This is a war that has been brewing since 1979, not because we want it but because the mad mullahs who run Iran want it. It takes two to make a good peace, it only takes one to make a bad war.

This Spaniard is a fool. Spain has thrown its history in a dumpster. They have accepted the Black Legend as fact.
The Black Legend?
That Spain is a particularly evil nation, often linked to Catholicism.
Spain’s been reproducing below replacement level since 1980. They had a modest revival of fertility between 1997 and 2008, then sank back down again. (Portugal’s doing a tad better, with a tfr of 1.4 v. Spain’s 1.1). Their labor market is less sclerotic than it used to be, but they still have double-digit unemployment rates.
Once, when Spain was a worldwide power with worldwide strength and influence it too was expected and often obligated to act in matters not directly related to its immediate or colonial territory.
The fact that Spain is not presently such a nation is why she has the privilege of choosing whether to participate or not.
Thanks. Unemployment of young Spanish is high. As of December our older son’s girlfriend finally has a permanent job. She is management at a large state home for the disabled in a town. Her degrees are forestry and has worked all over the world. Recently she passed part one of the federal forestry exam. Last time she checked 5,000 passed the tests but only 500 jobs were available.

The USA will fight for the principles outlined in our Founding Documents, namely freedom of religion, speech, press and free association. When tyranny succeeds oversees tyranny will certainly come to us.
This was the basic reasoning behind the Viet Nam police action.

Caveat lector.
Spain, unlike other nations, has the unique privilege of importing South Americans to keep its population up if it so chooses. Same language, similar culture, easily assimilated.
“La Leyenda Negra” has been I ternalized by what remains of Spain’s youth. Protestant England accused Spain of what England did and it stuck. Henry Tudor and Elizabeth were far worse than the Inquisition, but this is not common knowledge.
The Iranian government is one of the most evil in the past few centuries. The mullahs’ hatred of the USA has led them to ally with Russia (an ancient enemy of Islam), China (Ughurs) and North Korea. Iran will not change unless they are removed from power and it may take their deaths to achieve that. Israel will lose no sleep over the deaths of the mullahs. Israel will not any longer tolerate anyone who wants to destroy their nation or people, no matter what Crisis Magazine or Michael Matt think of it.
