Marco, your 'facts' about dispropotional amount of blacks in prison and how they end up getting harsher sentencing is at best , as one giant american cultural icon Perry Mason would say: "Innuendo and hear-say!",
without mentioning that same racial segment of the society as a whole commits the largest , or the same dispropotional number of crimes. It, in itself makes it absolutely propotional.
Other than that , I have not much to say about your opinion re: Basque/ETA conflict.
I am not as knowledgeable about the issue as most on this board seem to be .
In general I think that, when one side (ETA) thinks that it is OK to kill people , women , children , innocent civilians in the name of justice , it is impossible to negotiate 'in good will'.
I hope solution is close , but it does not look good.
