Coalition of the Willing My Burro

Some things I’m wondering.

Is Spain now part of Rumsfeld’s rubric of “Old Europe”?

(“New Europe” being those countries that simply had a gap between public approval and the government on the particular issue of the Iraq War.)

Is there a way that we can malign the Spanish in the same way that we maligned the French?

Perhaps we can refer to them as a bunch of burros… a reference that can easily be carried over stateside and attach itself with the Donkey of the Democratic Party.

Y’know: Spain’s great contribution to the literary canon: Don Quixote. Not the “Clear Eyed Realist” that we need to win a war against Evil.

(Oh, yeah. BTW: look over to the sidebar and click on the link “Coalition of the Willing theme song.”)
