If I went to far in my comments, sorry about that. It is not my intention
to be polemic. Anyway, I think that my question --although I do not
require an answer-- is THE QUESTION.

I still think that this kind of analysis (Your first message)if not wrong
it was done prematurely. If you thought that it wasn't relevant today, why
did you post it?

I hope that you understand that I prefer to be cautious in my analysis and
this goes without questioning your right to make one. On the top of that,
to say that everybody can make an analysis is not very practical. Would
you accept that I say that everybody can perform open heart surgery? In
theory they can but they will probably kill the patient. I don't know how
many times I said already in this list that we need to listen to people
with long experience in conflict resolution. Not me, of course.

Your message was problematic not because what it said but because of the
implications of it. Do you really think that it was an innocent message? I
think that in Basque politics we all lost the innocency ages ago.
I said that the message  "implies" the wrong analysis of the conflict and
I stand by this statement. Else, the people that support the MLNV are
completely out of their minds. In that case they would be no reasons to be
optimistic.

 I am really happy about what is happening in Basque Country , and I
am optimistic too. But you must put yourself in the shoes of those
ones that haven't got any sing of hope yet. Those who have no reasons
to smile. Those who ,it seems, will spend another Christmas hundreds
of kilometers away from home. So far I only see benefits of the truce in
one side, I only hear talking about the victims of the same  side, about
compensation for the very same side...  ... but conflicts are always two
sided, aren't they?

This is quite problematic, It may lead to growing anxiety and frustration
with the peace process. Despite the ETA's truce, nothing significant
has really started yet at the institutional level. On the top of that,
there is a lot of mistrust from all the parts. People assume too often
that the question of trust applies only to the very same side. I see
fundamental errors in this process and I hope that they are approached
practically, sooner rather than later.

I think that the message from Mila was disproportionate at a personal
level. However, if people cannot see what is behind, we won't be able to
walk very far together. Inasmuch as the past is concerned I stand by her
message hundred per cent. I just hope that we change, all of us,  so we do
not need to have this kind of conversation anymore.
