27、 me: “ You all want the reddest and biggest one, right? Well, lets have a competition.

But on April 18, the Spanish government started to remove its troops, becoming the first country in the US-led

33、 coalition (联军) to bring its soldiers home. The person behind this surprise move is the new Spanish prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. From the beginning, the 43-year-old former lawyer, knew the weakness of Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and his hand-picked successor, Mariano Rajoy. Abou

34、t 90 percent of the Spanish people were against the war in Iraq and were unhappy that Aznar had taken them into it. So Zapatero promised: “If this party wins the election and the UN still cant take charge in Iraq, the new government will pull its 1.400 troops out of Iraq.” Despite focusing on this a

35、nd other Aznar mistakes, Zapateros chances of victory were still thin until the Madrid bombings. At first, the government blamed ETA, a separatist terror group from the Basque region of northern Spain. But later evidence suggested the attack was carried out by Al-Qaida(基地) members angry at Spains pr

36、esence in Iraq. The people were upset, and they showed this by voting for Zapatero.

In a move that was as shocking to the world as his election victory, Zapatero chose to

37、 carry out his promise the day after he took office. And its effect could be long-lasting. As the situation in Iraq worsens, several countries are considering their positions.
