I enjoyed your perspective but still cast my lot with the Basques.
Basques are fine, and some of Spain’s best writers (such as Unamuno and Pio Baroja) were from Pais Vasco. But ETA is a radical Marxist organization that has crushed the life out of most of the towns in Pais Vasco and has killed a huge number of innocent people. Just like the IRA in Ireland.
I hope you don’t cast your lot with them...
