[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] 1789 Seriously though, it really depends on what type of conservative you're talking about and how you define forward looking. US conservative belong almost exclusively to the New Right, an amalgamation of neo-conservative (strong on law and order, large military budgets, etc) and neo-liberal (minimum state intervention in the economy and people's lives). If you belive the state should be small but strong and that the current system is bloated bureaucracy then I suppose you could describe New Right conservatism as being forward looking. [QUOTE] The thing is most people in Spain were seriously opposed to the war before the government sent troops over to Iraq. [/QUOTE]About 90% opposed, IIRC. [QUOTE] On a related side note, Spain is pulling out of Iraq. I may not like Bush's plans for Iraq, but I see Spain's withdrawal as a dangerous precedent. [/QUOTE]On the other hand there aren't many of them, only about 1,500 I think. Just as worrying IMHO is the departure of the Russian specialists who were supposed to be repairing the electricity grid. They're the only ones who can, on account of having installed it. [QUOTE] Both Canada and the US had better check their security before they go to the polls. [/QUOTE]Possibly here in the UK as well; there are rumours of an October General Election and I don't think Blair can afford to put off the referendum on the EU constitution for too long now he's done a u-turn on it.
