Give Spain Away Again?

It took the Spanish 781 years to drive the Muslims from Spain and reconquer their homeland. But it took only a few years for the “elite” of Spain to invite in invaders and give the land away again. Why?

Recall that Bin Laden’s greatest wish was not to knock down the Twin Towers, but to reconquer Spain. He never could, but treacherous Spanish did it for him. How do we produce such rootless people?
