Big changes are afoot.

Wow. The socialists won in Spain today, and there's an interesting item at the top of their agenda.

Casting their ballots against the bloody backdrop of the worst terrorist attacks in this country's history, Spaniards voted Sunday to oust the ruling Popular Party of outgoing Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, blaming his staunch backing of the American war in Iraq for the bombings that left 200 people dead.

In a stunning political upset, voters chose to give power to the opposition Socialist Party, whose leader, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, has promised to immediately withdraw Spain's 1,300 troops from Iraq, orient Spain's foreign policy away from the United States and restore good relations with anti-war European allies, France and Germany.
