There are many ways to interpret Spain's decision to withdraw troops from Iraq, though one seems to prevail here. But what is the rest of the world to make of the following:
1. Bin Laden demanded that the US withdraw its troops from Saudi Arabia.
2. The US withdrew its troops from Saudi Arabia.
A cowardly Vichy-France style collaboration? Of course the cause and effect relationship is more complex, in this as in other cases. Please keep that in mind before attacking the new Spanish government's position.
