Hi all,
Spain has been suffering the scourge of terrorism for ~ 50 years. As a US citizen who grew up in Spain watching news stories about innocents killed by ETA in terror attacks, I find it astonishing that many Americans who have little to no knowledge of the political situation in Spain show sympathy for these terrorists or their cause. While things have changed a little bit since 9/11, when Americans could see by themselves the pain inflicted to innocent victims by fanatic terrorists, there is still a lot of education to be done with my fellow Americans on this topic. A few years ago, the Foundation Victims of Terrorism created this video (in English) where not only ETA's tactics are exposed but where one can also listen to the victims of these fanatics,

At the end of the second video the names of the more than 800 innocents killed by ETA at the time the video was made is shown.
