| Eh? From the article: "The latest polls show 72 percent of Spaniards want the troops withdrawn." Following the will of the people is democratic. Following his campaign promise is democratic. Again, from the article: "He cited his campaign pledge to bring the 1,300 troops in Iraq home by June 30, when their mandate expires, if the United Nations failed to take political and military control." For the Spanish people to excerise their right to vote is the epitomy of a democracy.
Jonathan Freedland, of the Guardian, have another take on it - according to him, what the Bushítes (his term, not mine) are doing is contrary to the democracy they claim to defend:
By defaming the Spanish while Madrid weeps, the Bushítes display a sneaking contempt for democracy.
And stupid automatic censoring - Bushítes is not a dirty word. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
