And your grandfather was probably a fascist... I'm not a fan of the communists, as it is their fault the CNT/POUM and other anarchists couldn't work together to win the war, but I am positive a a Socialist government would have done more for spain than the decades of pain brought by Franco and his Nazi's.

aha, yes, Spain was so lucky about have a guy like Franco...

Ask catalan and euskal population about it, or simply ask the republican people, who lost the war... All ways of dictatorships are bad for the population, doesnt matter right or left handed ones.

Dictatorships are only good if you are the dictator.

Republican in Spain had a way different meaning than Eisenhower Republican. I'm no fan of fascism, but Hemingway was a great writer full of much crap.

As an American, I can attest to the general ignorance I live in, and even perpetrate myself, om occasion. It seems that many of my fellow countrymen tend to forget is that the rest of the world does not, and should not, live like us.
