One Victory in the War on Terror
Today, announced from Vitoria, Spain:

The Basque militant group ETA ended a decades-long campaign of terror, announcing a permanent cease-fire Wednesday that closes the door on one of Western Europe's last armed separatist movements.
--Associated Press
Great jubilation was reported among Spaniards after the video announced the end of nearly 40 years of terror. And they should. What great news for Spain- and for peace. Spain is an interesting country. Since the 70s they have been slowly but surely moving out of the Franco years of repression into a growing democratic country. This may be one more sign of that evolution.
