"ETA is a terrorist group, therefore, they have no rules to follow, and ETA does what it is necessary to win, as 3/11 proves. "

I won't dispute the label, but honestly what should we expect from them? Do you think a people could/would fight off invasion by everyone from the Romans to Muslims over thousands of years just to surrender to Madrid and the EU? The absurdity of that strikes me as inconcievable, unless the spirit of freedom is truly dead in Iberia.

Is there a better way for them to be free? The only army occupying their land is beurocrats and the Spanish equivalent of carpet-baggers, so you can't exactly expect them to engage in a military vs. military battle.

So what options do the Basques have outside of political surrender and anti-government violence? I'd love to hear a third option because I think the current set of choices are equally unreasonable.

300,000 people has fled from such spirit of freedom in the last decade from the Basque country. Moreover, it seems the way Basque Nationalist understand freedom has also reached the US.
