Barca,
I understand the issues involved with the Basque population and the lack of support by the population. I did not mean to compare the PLO, ALF, ETA or any other side by side. In each of the organizations is the thought that they are justified by the cause and justified in any means they chose. That is the portion I was trying to get to.
Nobody picked up on the terrorist attacks of the settlers in the american colonies against the UK. Is this country not founded based on acts of terrorism which is turned around as a "freedom fight"? How is that different from the ALF and the French in Algeria? How is it different (except by means) from what the Palestinians want, the Algerians received and the Americans taught????
