First they throw out that ex-president that was (and still is) claiming that ETA was blowing up the trains the 9th of March 2003 when all the evidence from day one showed otherwise. Now they take some action against such frauds. I'm starting to believe that Spain as a nation is getting ever so slightly smarter than the rest of us.

I'll add to that their pullout from Iraq.

Don't worry, Ashles. As we speak, Norwegian retirees are buying houses and flats and timeshares in Spain in hordes. And old people in Norway is statistically the age group with most rightwings and such. And people to the right on our political scale are more likely to move to Spain because of our somewhat high prices on f.ex. alcohol (only when price/wage ratio is not included). And old people also watch more televison.

So basically, we're infiltrating them and they don't suspect a thing. (And don't you believe the silly rumors that we're getting rid of those people in order to ensmarten our own country...)

That'll teach 'em to think they're better just 'cos they's book learned.
