CaliBasco: Again I say it is silly to compare the ETA to the American revolutionaries. The colonist had wide spread support among the population after only a few years. The ETA has apparently only a few in their band of thugs and have been doing this sort of conduct for forty years and still no wide spread following. Everyone knew who the Americans were that were demanding indepnedance. The ETA works in the shadows. The Ameircans delivered the Declaration of Indepnedance to the King of England knowing full well the consequnces. The ETA has never delivered such a document with signatures to Franco, King Carlos, or anyone else of authority. That comparison is nothing more that grasping at straws, to justify an unjustifiable position.

If they truly have a legitimate complaint, then why do they operate with masks on in all the photos of the operatives? Why have they never identified themselves? Why don't they have wide spread support among the population of the region?Why have they never complained to the UN? Why have they never deliverd a declaration of independance to anyone of authority? I notice they waited until the spineless little weasle Zapatero was in office to increase their activity.
