Spain: We'll strive for a Palestinian state in 2010

The Spanish Foreign Minister said on Friday that Spain, as the next European Union president, intends on working towards a Palestinian state in 2010.

Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos told a news briefing in Brussels on Friday that his country, which takes over the EU presidency for six months in January, would strive for quick talks.

"My idea and my dream ... is to work for having in 2010, finally, a Palestinian state that could live in peace and security with Israel," Moratinos said.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT SPAIN AND EUROPE ARE GONNA SOLVE ALL OF ISRAEL'S PROBLEMS WITH THE ARABS.

MAYBE HE AND HIS SOCIALIST COMRADE/BOSS ZAPATERO OUGHT TO DEAL WITH THEI ANTISEMITISM PROBLEM AND THE BASQUES, FIRST.

OR LOOK AT IT THIS WAY: HOW WOULD HE LIKE IT IF CHINA AND THE UN WERE TELLING HIM AND SPAIN THEY HAD TO GIVE BASQUES THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

IOW: SPAIN AND THE EU OUGHT TO STFU.
