Congressional Republicans rallied to President Bush's defense yesterday, chiding Spanish voters for ousting a government that had backed his Iraq policy and dismissing anti-administration sentiment among many Europeans and Muslims as behind-the-times thinking.

The comments, which included pokes at Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry, echoed remarks by Bush and Vice President Cheney as their reelection campaign sharpens its defense of the administration's foreign policies. The remarks came one day after a nine-nation poll found substantial opposition to U.S. policy among Europeans and Muslims.

1. Spain is an independent, sovereign nation

It is not a satillite state of the US. The US has no say, and no standing to comment on, elections in Spain. Democracy prevailed in Spain and the people who thumbed their nose at the will of the Spanish people by supporting the war in Iraq paid the price for it. Why should they have been reelected? They ignore the will of 90% of the Spanish people. Not a transient, delusional shift of opinion, but a persistent, long-term, well thought out opposition. To have rewarded the PP for that would have been an affront to democracy.

We now have witnessed insanity in full light.
