They are all British, and want to remain that way. Same with the Falkland Islands (which Argentina wants). It's my understanding (from what I have heard, but never having been there) that Ceuta and Mellia are filled with people who feel Spanish, and want to remain that way. Why not just leave them alone? In ALL of the above cases, why can't the people just be left alone? What is all this fighting about? Why does anyone even CARE?<BR/><BR/>If you can explain this to me, I'd kindly appreciate anything you have to say.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Eileen<BR/>Dedicated Elementary Teacher Overseas (in the Middle East)<BR/>elementaryteacher.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29783423.post-89779512984716726882007-11-14T19:16:00.000+00:002007-11-14T19:16:00.000+00:00Surely Hisham, I will watch them.Only one remark, ...Surely Hisham, I will watch them.<BR/><BR/>Only one remark, you update your blog not too often.

I had this in mind. That's why I added "Ceuta and Mellila are Moroccan" at the bottom of the picture above. <BR/><BR/>I also put the question at the bottom of Shavez's picture, "Who's fascist, Chavez or Aznar?" <BR/><BR/>I agree with you Chavez is the new voice of the new revolutionary politicians in Latin America. It remains how much political support he can draw in the region to give this part of the world a new political look.Abdelilah Boukilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991126759703627862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29783423.post-59584632015753513022007-11-14T11:00:00.000+00:002007-11-14T11:00:00.000+00:00Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is the descendent of the same royal line of Spain who know is going nuts because a latin american (whom I'm sure he's considering a subject of hes) leader, democratically and overwhelmingly elected by his own people is now daring raising his voice in the presence of his majesty... give me a break!<BR/><BR/>Chavez is not fascist...Hishamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303451078690636594noreply@blogger.com
