Aznar Outdoes Himself, Again

Is this article at Yahoo News about a guy that looks like Milosevic more and more everyday?

Or is just my imagination?

Will we ever learn? Or in a couple of years NATO soldiers will be laughing while Spanish soldiers murder ethnic Basque men and boys?

Just read and decide:

Spanish Prime Minister warns Basque government against meddling with independence

MADRID, Spain - Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar warned the Basque regional government Monday that he would not tolerate any attempts to break up the Spanish state.

"There will be no margin for rupture," Aznar told a meeting of his conservative Popular Party. "Nobody is going to set up an illegal regime, nobody is going to be allowed take it upon themselves to choose which laws they will obey and which they won't."

Aznar was speaking in the wake of a storm raised by Basque regional premier Juan Jose Ibarretxe who on Friday announced he wanted to redefine the Basque region's relationship with the Spanish government along the lines of shared sovereignty and free association.

Stressing what he called the right of the Basque people to decide their own future, Ibarretxe said he hoped to have a draft proposal for a "new pact for coexistence" ready within a year and to put the definitive proposal to vote before the northern region's some 2 million inhabitants.
Ibarretxe said he would begin preparatory talks with other groups in the Basque Parliament next week but made no mention of consulting the Spanish government.

Aznar, backed by the opposition Socialist party, is firmly opposed to any changes in the Basque region's status as one of Spain's 17 semiautonomous regions.

Critics accuse Ibarretxe of playing into the hands of ETA, an organization which has killed more than 830 people since it began its campaign for Basque independence in 1968.

ETA is most recently blamed for the death of a Civil Guard paramilitary police officer in a bomb explosion last Tuesday.

Spain's 17 regions have ample administrative powers while the central government retains control over key areas such as defense and foreign affairs. The Basque government has long demanded greater autonomy and in recent months has criticized Madrid for ignoring agreements to hand over control over more than a dozen areas of government.

Ties with the Basque and Madrid governments have soured even more lately mainly because of moves by Aznar's government to outlaw the radical Basque independence party Batasuna because of its alleged links with and support for ETA. The ban is opposed by Ibarretxe's Basque Nationalist Party and other nationalist groups in the region."

If you don't know what happened in Bosnia, don't bother trying to figure out who Milosevic is.

Think Hitler and the Gypsies instead, oh no wait, you wouldn't know about that either. Easy, think of Hitler and the Jews.

Me for one, I stand up and accuse Aznar of being the European heir of racist monsters like Mussolini and Hitler, who were the bosses of Franco, who was the boss of Aznar's daddy.

The rest of the world in the mean time, look the other way, like you did with Bosnia. Is more comfortable.
