I think Seahawk has it about right.

It’s interesting that many argue that the coalition (ie the US) is taking to long to hand over power to the Iraqi provisional authority scheduled for this June 30th. More recently, there seems to be many who think that date is premature.

I don’t believe Spain has realocated forces from Iraq to Afghanistan yet altho they might eventually. Were Spanish forces not in the thick of it a couple of days ago and killed 20 who attacked their positions?

I fail to see why a relocation to Afghanistan would placate the “terrorists” in any event. Could it be that Spain’s recent problems have more to do with to historical issues in North Africa than with Iraq or Afghanistan?

Well I guess we could write a book on the subject but you have to give those better paid and trained people proper tools to work with and I fail to see the objection to providing less risky travel, passport and personal documents nor the building up of an entrant database. Such measures seem rather benign. For frequent visitors it might even speed up the process.

As far as better communication between security and law enforcement agencies goes, lets hope that improves, but there would be little to communicate without extensive information gathering about individuals, their movements and activities and facilities to handle such information and travel documents are one such way collect it.

I don’t know anything about the regulation and laws concerning such matters within the EU but I find it hard to believe you can get into the EU from the outside without identification. I guess the simple fact is if you travel to the EU you obey it’s rules and if you travel to the US you obey theirs. Seems fair.
