16.03.04: The Spanish election and the war on terror
********************************************************************************
今まで主に戦争板で漫画を紹介していましたが、これからはこれはと思う面白そうな漫画はIT板でご紹介していこうと思います。以下理由です。
1、【田中 宇の国際ニュース解説】をご紹介しているのと同趣旨です。国際情勢等への関心のあるなしで、セキュリティ情報への接し方も、理解の深さも全然違ってくると思っています。これは小生の体験から来る実感です。
2、難しそうな技術情報の中での息抜きです。また、漫画をお目当てにIT板を訪問する人が増え、「ついでに難しそうなIT情報をつまみ食いしてくれたら」との考えもあります。
3、これからますますITスキルが重要になります。そう言う知識のある人ほど平和の問題を始めとして社会問題に関心を持って欲しいと感じています。
4、戦争板は流れが速すぎます。今までも随分良い漫画が早すぎた流れで消えていきました。
5、主に【SteveBellの漫画です。】がご紹介の中心になると思います。後ろに英文の関連記事を載せます。インターネットの世界は英語が必須なので英語の勉強の意味合いもあります。出来たら中高校生とかがこのIT板の愛読者となって、ITに強くなり、社会問題にも目覚め、英語にも強くなってくれれば最高です。

Spanish leader accuses Bush and Blair
Threat to pull troops out of Iraq as row over election result escalates

The Guardian
Spain's new prime minister, the Socialist Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, yesterday followed his dramatic election triumph with a pledge to bring troops home from Iraq and accusations that Tony Blair and George Bush lied about the war.
"Mr Blair and Mr Bush must do some reflection _ you can't organise a war with lies," he said in his first radio interview after ousting the ruling conservative People's party in a Sunday election dominated by the terror attacks on trains that killed 200 Madrid commuters last week.
"The Spanish troops will come back," he added.
His stinging comments caused political shockwaves across Europe and in the US. Sunday would go down in history as "the day when Islamist fundamentalism was seen as dictating the outcome of a European election", said Wilfried Martens, the head of the European People's party, an umbrella group for European conservative parties.
Jonathan Eyal, the director of studies at the London-based Royal United Services Institute, said if al-Qaida were responsible for last week's bombs, Spain had become the first country "to have a prime minister owing his position to Bin Laden".
As people across Europe paid three minutes' silent homage to the victims of the Madrid attacks, the EU called an emergency conference of interior ministers for Friday to discuss the implications of the train bombings.
Spanish police concentrated their investigation on three Moroccan men arrested on Saturday. One was reportedly identified by a survivor who saw him on one of the trains.
It was also revealed that the same man, Jamal Zougam, was known for his contacts with radical Islamists and al-Qaida suspects by police and intelligence services in France, Spain and Morocco. Spanish police searched his Madrid apartment in October 2001, finding videotapes of jihad fighters and an interview with Osama bin Laden.
Speculation grew of a direct link between the Madrid attacks and the group that killed 44 people in suicide bombings in Casablanca in May as Spanish investigators travelled to Morocco.
There was no sign, however, that intelligence agencies were any closer to identifying a man with a Moroccan accent who, in a videotape found in Madrid on Saturday, had claimed responsibility for the attack in al-Qaida's name.
The US acknowledged yesterday that the Madrid attack had been carried out with the aid of Bin Laden's group.
"I'm satisfied there are connections to al-Qaida. The depth of that connection and the total level of responsibility has not yet been determined," said the homeland security undersecretary, Asa Hutchinson.
Mr Zapatero said his victory was a direct consequence of support by the outgoing prime minister, Jose Maria Aznar, for a "disastrous" war in Iraq.
A bitter row continued over whether Mr Aznar's government had tried to fool voters into thinking that the Basque separatist group Eta was to blame for the attacks, an allegation that has drawn indignant denials from his party.
Workers at the state news agency EFE demanded that news executives be sacked for allegedly manipulating reporting of the attacks to make it seem the Basque terrorist group was to blame.
The once pro-Aznar El Mundo newspaper criticised the outgoing government for playing down evidence of al-Qaida's role in the bombings.
Mr Bush called Mr Zapatero to congratulate him in an attempt to calm the waters as the Socialist claimed Sunday's electoral turnaround would have repercussions in the November US presidential elections.
"The two leaders said they both looked forward to working together, particularly on our shared commitment to fighting terrorism," a White House spokesman said.
Mr Blair also had "friendly" telephone talks with him, according to his spokesman.
