Good news!

Spanish president Zapatero calls troops back.

After a year of mass movilizations in Spain against the war on Irak. After one year of screaming to Aznar (the former president, who went to war with Bush and Blair). After the deadly attacks of the 11th of March and the goverments lies...We finally made it, the troops are coming back.The brand new spanish president (he is oficially in office since Friday), José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, has given orders to the Defence Ministry to get out of Irak "in the shortest time and with the maximum security possible".In his electoral program and since the elections Zapatero has been saying
he would bring the troops back if the United Nations didn´t take charge of the situation. Today, in a televised press conference, he said that the information they´ve got is that the UN isn´t changing its position in the short term so Spain is leaving Irak.I hope this news make people world-wide take the streets and make some pressure on Bush, Blair and the others ;)
