<DIV><FONT size=2>Santiago Matamoros images are all over Spain. Some
like that in Logrono cannot be relocated. It is part of the
Spanish history/mythology that Santiago returned to help free the country from
"the Moors." </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This image has been carried to the new world.
</FONT><FONT size=2>In January I was in Peru and saw a "Santiago Mata-Inca"
statue in the cathedral in Cuzco, Santiago helping the "conquistadores"
subjugate and kill the native Inca population. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Rosina and all -<BR><BR>While I understand Spain's withdrawal of its
troops from Iraq, as 90% of the<BR>country didn't want them there in the
first place, I find this current<BR>action discomforting. It could be
the first measure on a long road of<BR>appeasing terrorists by removing all
indications of anything that could be<BR>taken as anti-Muslim. As the
radical extremists have an avowed goal of<BR>killing anyone who does not
believe as they do and clearly have no tolerance<BR>for other religions - or
even less extreme interpretations of their own -<BR>this course strikes me
as a troubling direction. Removing a statue because<BR>it is no longer
considered to be representative of the church in its highest<BR>aspirations
is one thing, but doing so in the hopes that terrorists will be<BR>less
likely to strike seems cowardly and makes me wonder what
other<BR>compromises will be made in false hopes of being
protected.<BR><BR>Charles<BR><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
