#1 He is a loser, with a big letter "L" on his forehead. First and foremost, he is tactless and has no ability to conceal that fact, a cardinal sin in international politics. He bears comparison to Napoleon III, a novice who thinks himself a master of realpolitik, made a fool by the real masters he despises.

#2 Will Zapatero receive forgiveness from Bushâ¦ for getting out-of-line? If so, what tribute must Spain pay to stay in Americaâs good graces?

Tansoborn obviously has 'issues'. Zapatero is going to remain at arms-length with the White House for a long, long while. He might as well use the time practicing his role as Chirac's flunky.

#3 Zapetero is Chiraq's suck boy. No chance Bush will warm to him any time soon. He has a mouth that writes checks even Chiraq can not honor. As long as he is running things Spain will suffer with the US. His "popularity" hurts Spain as well.

The King is a devout christian and Bush honored him with a long visit. It certainly was not to dis Zappy. I am quite sure Bush made that very clear.

The state I live in was once part of Spain and the El Camino Real means something to us native sons. It is quite proper to honor the King of Spain in Texas another state that was once part of the Spanish realm.
