Hats off to Spanish PM
Nurjahan, Chittagong
We thank and congratulate Spain's Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero for withdrawing Spanish troops from Iraq which was his campaign pledge to the nation. He promised to bring back the 1300 soldiers home by June 30, 2004, when their mandate expires, if the United Nations failed to take political and military control of Iraq.It is heartening to know that there are persons who keep their words and give importance to the promises made to the nation. The Spanish people are very lucky to have a person of that character as their prime minister. The latest poll reveals that 72 per cent of the Spaniards want the soldiers to come back home. How happy we would have been if we had leaders like that who keep promises made during the election campaign and the welfare of the people counts above everything else to them. But it is only a wishful thinking, we may not be that lucky, the politicians of our country have failed to give us even a glimmer of hope.
