Terror of the non-Islamic sort

Basque separatists just bombed a power plant in Spain.

My response to them would normally be the same as my response to the bombers of London: kill 'em all. The cause is unimportant. The motives are unimportant. The ethnicity of the attackers is unimportant. The religion is unimportant. Any group of people that believes that attacking civilian targets is a legitimate political tool deserves to die.

However, in this particular case, there do not appear to have been any casualties. Thank God for that. So no head count need be initiated today. No one died, so killing is not warranted. But any negotiations the Spanish government may have had with the separatists should end today, not to be resumed until the leaders of the movement surrender to Spanish authorities everyone involved in or authorizing the bombing.

Civilized governments should not deal with terrorists.
