Madrid.– Four bombs exploded at popular seaside resorts in Cantabria northern Spain on
Sunday, after warning calls from the Basque separatist group ETA and following a
small explosion outside a Barclays bank near Bilbao.
One woman was hurt by a flying stone and another treated for shock.
The attacks, which marked the beginning of ETA's traditional summer bombing
campaign, which targets Spanish holiday resorts as part of the group's
four-decade struggle for an independent Basque state in northern Spain and
southern France.
Spain's Socialist government says the guerrillas have been severely weakened
by a string of arrests, and have called for their surrender after calling off
peace talks two years ago.
Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero broke off a peace process with
ETA in 2006 after the group killed two Ecuadorians when it detonated a car bomb
at Madrid's Barajas international airport.
The government condemned the attacks on Sunday and reaffirmed its commitment
to fight the group.

GC,
So True, But at the same time NOT THREW TERRORIST ACTS. The same could be done in the Middle east all it takes is for some FAT OIL RICH ARAB STATE to just donate a piece of land of sand to the I's or the P's then maybe, just maybe peace will be in the Middle East, but it's just sometimes to simple.....We Adults are always a shinning examples to our Youth, it's no wonder why we in America's Youth have "Generation-X".... "Hidden Future".."Invisible Mases" and my personal favorite the good old "Generation Gap" [ don't trust no one over thirty ] So let's be super careful when in public or private......Theres Youth eyes and ears upon us.

OK then tough guy .. let's see how brave you are .. it's obvious that after all these years Spain still cannot contain this group .. so get ready for hundreds of explosions and hundreds dead and injured .. as ETA continues to exercise their demand for autonomy or independence .. it's not a matter of if .. it 's just a matter of when .. whaaaaacccccckkkkkk ..

George Washington was considered a "terrorist" by the British .. as was Menachem Begin when the Irgun were fighting the British in Palestine .. hundreds of British troops were killed when terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem .. both Washington and Begin are today considered as heroes in their respective countries .. George Bush is by far the greatest of all the "terrorists" that has ever lived .. followed closely by Dick Cheney .. thousands are already dead from their reckless acts .. it is very possible that Bush and Cheney could be indicted as war criminals by the ICC .. the matter is under consideration at the Hague .. it is just a matter of time before such mass murderers are brought to justice and prosecuted for their isane brutality ..
From: United States
Here's what I don't understand .. why would a "terrorist" group like ETA even bother to call in those warnings before each blast? that's not exactly how terrorists operate now .. is it? there was no warning before 9/11 .. or the train blasts in Madrid .. "terrorist" my foot .. you would not know one if they crept up on you and bit you on the you-know-where .. time for La Comida .. whaaaccccckkkkkk ..

"George Washington was considered a "terrorist" by the British"
Washington Fought the Brits on the Battlefield. Hardly a Terrorist act.
".. as was Menachem Begin when the Irgun were fighting the British in Israel "
Arguable. But I will give you that one.
"George Bush is by far the greatest of all the "terrorists" that has ever lived .. followed closely by Dick Cheney .."
Now you are just being stupid.
" it is very possible that Bush and Cheney could be indicted as war criminals by the ICC .. "
Let them try!
"the matter is under consideration at the Hague .. it is just a matter of time before such mass murderers are brought to justice and prosecuted for their isane brutality .."
I would love to see some Euro-weenies try and arrest the President of the United States.

Anthony,
Part # 1 First...The French have there Legion, you now the payed mercs. who around all over the World and kick butt with no real ties to the French Government.
Second...Mao, Stalin and Hitler were no Friends or Heroes of mine, remember they invented mass murder, by the way did we forgot our very own TRUJILLO ?.
Maybe someone should lighten us up on the History of the TERRORIST GROUP the ETA, it seems to me they won you over with "I'll call to worn, before I blow things up", as to win brownie points and support, as for me a TERRORIST WILL ALWAYS BE A TERRORIST willing to kill and maim innocent Woman and Children for there cause, kind of reminds me of an old saying " I rather die on my feet, Then live on my knees" by the way Obama while in Afghanistan yesterday said while talking to U.S Soldiers, said " I will hunt and fight Terrorist with Vigor" [ from the U.S, after a total U.S pullout ] sad to say....."FUTURE Wars have been substituted with Terrorism"...

How does one deal with people who want to kill, destroy you ? the answer is never easy, like I have said in the past "nobody hates wars more, then the ones who fight them" but we do what must be done, GOD save us. In the almost 49 years I have been on good old Planet Earth I have been witness too SO MUCH, and the conclusion I have come to is simple.
Teach a Child to love, he will love
Teach a Child respect, he will respectful
Teach a Child to forgive, he will be forgiving
Teach a Child Honor, he will be Honorable
Teach a Child the value of life, he will respect life
Teach a Child "THE GOLDEN RULE"
I have been teaching Tolerance for the last 15 years, I suggest everybody should visit the "Museum of Tolerance" and if your not able to do so....Please visit the Jewish Museum in Sosua, When I hear the word TERRORIST I correct with "You mean MURDERERS.
From: United States
George Bush and Dick Cheney are terrorists because they cooked up intelligence reports to make it look like Saddam Hussein was building nuclear and chemical weapons that could be used against the US and it's allies .. the intelligence data required for the attack was skillfully fabricated to fool an entire nation and it's Congress into believing that the US was in imminent danger from Iraq .. they then proceeded to attack a country that had committed no hostile actions against the US .. that is a serious crime .. ordinary citizens get arrested and prosecuted for making false accusations .. but not those two .. because they are protected by "Presidential Immunity" .. or shall we say .. "Presidential Impunity" .. but the mood of the world is changing .. it's not the world of yesterday where criminals roamed free .. they may not arrest him while in office .. but he could be arrested once out of office .. and he could be tried as a war criminal .. so don't be too sure of yourself ..

What kind of evidence do you need? finger prints?

OK? because that was the premise used for the terrorist attack by George Bush and Cheney on Iraq .. this is a Bush Cheney war .. don't be fooled into believing otherwise .. the US searched all over Iraq hoping to find something .. anything that would justify the attack .. but there was nothing to be found because it was never there .. the evidence used was all fabricated .. show me evidence of "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq .. where is it?

You probably think you are doing the US a big favor by supporting the Bush-Cheney axis of crime and genocide against humanity .. nothing could be farther from the truth .. you are simply supporting a known bunch of war criminals .. you are supporting the actions of two people who have seriously damaged US prestige and reputation all over the world .. the actions of Bush-Cheney have seriously hurt the US .. if you really want to help the US do your research .. read as widely as possible .. attend discussion sessions .. be open to new ideas .. search for the truth however unpleasant and contrary to your own set ways of thinking .. free your mind .. don't just blindly support something that you KNOW is wrong .. use the brain that God gave you to think .. a mind is a terrible thing to waste .. OK? I am trying to help you .. a poor soul that appears to be horribly lost .. whaaaaacccccckkkkkk ..

There were no Al Qaeda bases in Iraq before the Bush-Cheney invasion and occupation of the country .. Al Qaeda could not operate in Iraq while Saddam was in power .. immediately after the US invasion they had not only a good reason to enter Iraq .. there was no Saddam to stop them .. do your research buddy .. read up on the facts regarding Iraq before and after the US invasion .. don't rely on these DT blogs alone .. do your homework guy .. you sound really shaky on the facts .. no wonder you be kissin' up to the Bush-Cheney propaganda campaign .. whaaaaacccccckkkkkk ..

Saddam supported Terrorists. Including Hamas and AlQuaeda. That is a fact. Saddam harbored known terrorists that is a fact as well.
The recent transfer of yellow Cake from Iraq to Canada for disposal also shows that Saddam was still in the Nuke business. Also everyone who has half a brain knows that Saddam transferred much of the WMD's to Syria in the weeks before the invasion.
What do you think Israel was bommbing a few months ago?
Bush is already one of America's greatest Presidents. As time goes by perhaps you will wake up from your stupor and realize that as well.
From: United States
Saddam supported terrorists like Abu Nidal and Hamas but not Al Qaeda .. Abu Nidal and Hamas were a threat to Israel .. but Israel is well armed and can handle both of them without any problem .. Al Qaeda was incapable of operating with Saddam in power in Iraq.. they were clearly not welcome and would have been a threat to Saddam's Sunni brotherhood and the Clans of Tikrit .. Saddam's home base was Tikrit, north of Baghdad .. Bush is good for big business and ultra conservatives like you .. Where did you find that information about the transfer of weapons to Syria? How come I am only hearing it from you here for the first time? Where is the evidence that Saddam intended to use weapons of mass destruction against the US? You just keep getting better and better at this little game of self-delusion .. the good thing is that you are only fooling yourself ..

Al Queada has trained and worked with Hamas, Black September, The IRA, The FARC and various other Terrorist groups.
From: United States
Even if they trained you .. Iraq did not possess the weapons of mass destruction that became the excuse for invading and occupying the country .. they did not attack the US .. there was no reason to invade .. it is costing US tax payers billions of dollars per week to keep the troops in Iraq .. over 4000 troops dead .. over 1,000,000 civilians dead and displaced .. you will not be dancing around so much when you and your children get the bill from this war .. just you wait and see .. you will not be dancing around when Al Qaeda resumes attacks on US citizens all over the world .. and you will definitely not be dancing when you are one of the passengers flying in a plane they are about to blow up .. that is when your brain may start working again .. but it will be too late buddy .. whaaaaaccccccckkkkkk ...
