I'm thinking it's a bad thing, but that's a feeling in my gut and I can't articulate why just yet.

from a geo-strategic point of view, it's a good thing...i'm not real sure about the reliability of the current Spanish government, but in Spain, there are no overflight concerns with deploying troops...most of the potential hot spots can be accessed without having to worry about France, Germany, Austria or any other European "ally"...besides, they have good wine in Spain...
