As for the Iraqi article, this guy more or less sounds like Al Bundy shooting from the hip on what's right and wrong with the world, with evidence captured from all the events he's personally witnessed. Now because there are Spaniards (some, a minority) protesting against the election in Iraq (probably for anti-US reasons rather than anti-Iraqi, but the author doesnt' dare go into that). The author doesn't even point out that some Spaniards support the war (they sent troops, they've done more than... Canada), but rather paints them all as cowards, suggesting that "in Europe you can find a few Spaniards brave enough to go into the streets and sneer at Iraqi voters and the moronic Bush, but mustering the courage for anything else is harder." Cause the Spanish have no experience with terrorism, and have clearly wilted in the face of terrorist pressure.

The Western media might want to rethink their basic narrative: the Iraqi people just took a great leap forward. It's Europe that's looking more like an unwinnable quagmire.
