I have to admit, I'm pretty angry at the Spanish government and it's people right now.
They made a commitment to a cause and when they encountered some difficulty, they renegged.
It says something about a country's people.
Same could be said in relation to WW2, Vietnam, Cambodia, pre-Taliban Afghanistan, post-Gulf-War-I Iraq, and so on with regards to the US involvement.
At the end of the day do you really need Spains support? The US can handle it without Spain, and theres probably less complications too.
