I Was Proven Wrong

And I am darn happy it happened!

There is people able to see through the fog of lies and deceptions in the main stream media.

Here you have an example from a blog called The Artesian Wells:

Eta Lays Down Arms

For nearly half of the past century, certain radical Basque Nationalists resorted to terrorism to achieve their goals. Wednesday, a video was released by the ETA claiming to herald an end to their terrorist activities.
...

The Basques have fascinated me for some years. They are quite possibly the longest inhabitants of Europe, pre-dating the Iberian Gauls, Romans, Franks, and all other inhabitants of their particular slice of France and Spain. The Basque people is not apparently related to any other people group in Europe, nor is their language, Euskara. The closest match would be Finnish, which is still a ways off.


The author, AW, gives us some more of his own version of the Basques in history, and at the end closes his post with this paragraphs:

Lastly, it is the Basque nationalists who are responsible for my favorite graffiti: 4+3=1. It is a reference to the four provinces in Spain and three in France, making up one united Basqueland. Of course, the great irony is that, to the best of our knowledge, there has never been a united Basqueland in the history of the world, so I'm still unsure as to why the Basques are so adamant on the subject. But, until the day that a united Basqueland rises, here's to the Basques, and may their rich culture never again be overshadowed by a single violent faction!


At last, someone that wishes good to the Basques, not like the ones riding the Spaniard horse.
