Hi Brian
It is quite easy.
In Aznars times the relationship with England and especially with USA(Bush) was extremely good,we went to Iraq and we have some interesting contracts.
Chirac hated Aznar because he blocked the european constitution trying that the Niza agreement was executated but now with ZP as prime minister we agreed the Giscard Destain constitution where we are the most agraviated country with Poland in relation to Niza.
France is a allie of Marocco,as they have many economical interest with them and as you we have a lot conflicts with our south neighbor.2 years ago Marocco invaded a spanish island in the mediterraneum and France was with them , USA forced the situation but now they ar not in our side.
Add to this that we left Iraq like cowards insulting all the countries of the coallition and France is very happy with that.
Also there have some new army contracts for the Army with France and Germany recently and the ones signed with USA are broken.
The relation of Spain with USA is almost broken, socialist have been insulting Bush calling him assesin and thinking Kerry was going to be the new president ,ZP phone Bush to congratulate him for the elections and Bush didnt even responded the call, we have new friends in the abroad policy:Cuba and Venezuela.
There are many conflict with the ship factories here andd USA ,Australia and Israel have cancelled all the contracts and the USA are repering their ones now Portugal and Italy.
France is also very happy with socialist in the goberment, they want to close all the nuclear centrals and as you know France is plagued of them and will sell us the electricity.
Summing up France is very very happy.
