There you've opened a full series of cans of worms, ETA image campaigns abroad, their ideology,....I

Thinking on foreigners, I think that the famous Jon Juaristi's book is a "must read" for anyone who is looking for knowledgeable insight on the subject. (shame is not in english)

I've living in Italy for some time and I'd like to point out a dimension of the problem, that is not normally included. The social and economical factors that gave birth to ETA are similar (with all the historical and social transformations needed) to the environment that generated the mafia in Naples 200 years ago. From its begginings as a protective brotherhood to its current being as a cashflow generator through bombing, shooting, pressuring media,....ETA is more and more, resembling to a mafia only interested in its selfpreservation.

Now ETA, is basically machine of making tons of dirty money, how can anyone expect that it will disolve by itself once holy independence arrives?
