I watched a portion of the Tour de France last night. It was a particular stage of the tour that was being run throught the Pyrenees and the Basque Country. Apparently, fans of the race are allowed to mark up the road ways with chalk and paint before the racers come through. Nevertheless, I was amazed to see the letters "ETA" scrawled hundreds if not thousands of times all over the roadways!

Can you imagine this happening in the United States? How would we feel if, upon visiting a massive sporting event, we saw loads of grafitti supporting Al-Qaeda?

It would be more like televising a sports event from Afghanistan and seeing "Al Quaeda." The separatists live in Spain.
