I knew somebody will come back with this. Of course I know and so do Spaniard. When GW Bush ordered invasion of Iraq Spain then PM signed up to join. Two reasons: he believed Bush reasons which were exposed as lies; he is a Christian fundamentalist and invading an Islamic country is a very natural thing to do especially under U.S. protection. Madrid soon got a big hit with the train bombing. The PM lost his job and replaced with a government whose policy since is steadfast mind-you-own-business. No terror hit from the Middle East since (but troubles from its own separatists continue). Spain in fact refused UK request for jet fighters overflight in their bombing missions to Libya. This from a NATO member, which ticked off UK PM Cameron big time. Today Spaniard see their country in relative safety while the UK got hits after hits. The Libyan connection is strong.
