While he chose to visit the cities to tickle the nationalistic feeling of the Spaniards to raise his popularity level after the rise of voices to adopt a republic, he should have thought the sensitivity of the issue. Suffering from poverty doesn't mean you should shut up and clap for a colonial power acting in total disrespect of the feelings of Moroccans. Morocco has alot on his plate to take care of, but it's no reason to duck in when foreign powers cross the lines of sovereignty. Omar,

It would be far more productive for Morocco to address the poverty of her people and the rights of women, then saber rattling, this has done nothing but give extremism the green light - thus raising the suspicions of those who view Islam as a threat, a totally counter productive measure and what exactly was the point of Morocco recalling her Ambassador from Madrid?
