Ana Palacio became Spain's first female foreign minister in 2002. During a period when Spain was part of the coalition fighting to liberate Afghanistan and Iraq, she argued eloquently for maintaining strong ties with the U.S. The 3/11/04 bombings in Madrid unseated the government of prime minister Jose Maria Aznar of which she was a part. Since then, Palacio has argued just as eloquently that the European Union must not let anti-Americanism become the glue that holds it together. She was interviewed for TAE by British journalist John O'Sullivan and AEI scholar Michael Ledeen.
