I expect the Spanish Inquisition!

Bloggers everywhere are talking about John McCain's recent quote regarding a possible meet-up with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. 

Its important to discuss.

So, Zapatero is not a Zapatista. But if he was, I still think that McCain should talk to him. Emiliano Zapata, who's name the organization takes, heavily advocated that the people control their own land and resources. People with resources? That is definitely a threat to US interests. I wonder if McCain knew that Spain and Mexico weren't one in the same. That can get pretty confusing. 

And Zapatero's Spain didn't enter into the Iraq war back in 2003 just like a lot of other nations didn't. In fact, the forces were primarily the US and Britain. Austria and Poland were part of the team too. But that leaves another, 190 countries that "aren't friends with us." It would probably be a good idea to speak with all of those presidents and Prime Ministers. Especially since, according to John McCain, "there will be other wars." 

Wait, Zapatero? Do we know who this dude is? He might not be that important. But maybe it would have been better to say "yes" I will talk to him at least to save face and not risk this sort of embarrassment. But then again there is always that risk of him being a terrorist. And we definitely don't want to partake in foolish delusions like negotiating with terrorists. 

But its more likely that Zapatero could have been confused for musician activist Frank Zappa. And since Zappa has been dead for 15 years almost, I can see why he would be hesitant to talk to him. And since Zappa once sang about a guy named Sheik Yerbouti, its obvious McCain had valid fears.

Its good that the Republican Presidential nominee doesn't talk to anarchists, non-coalition countries, potential terrorists and dead musicians. 

Over and Out.
