¿Criminal acts are considered values?

People are not always agree with the thoughts political, social, cultural and economic factors that exist in a country and people think that the best way to solve it with violence, thus creating revolutionary groups, those seeking to defend their ideology and philosophy in any way. one example of them is ETA group which seeks to uphold the culture of the Basque nation, but what we do not know is that many of their acts are surrounded by values.

In Spain one of the groups that has generated more terrorism is ETA, which organizes several attacks in different Spanish cities. Although not say that the end justifies the means, acts they perform are values that, unfortunately, because the philosophy they handle their values are. That means they need to have courage to kill, kidnap, to make each of their violent acts. But this should not be an excuse for actions which they perform.

ETA is a terrible terroristic group, put bombs in different places in Spain and ended with the lives of many innocent people. Another values that this group have are the power and goodness, the power to carry out these acts to the Spanish people and power because seek to defend anything their ideology and their region, demonstrating that the end does not justify the means.

Finally, I believe that many actions that ETA makes are not good for society and affecting the country at large. While not think the best way, they want to help their nation and defend it as Basque, which is why their values become antivalores leading to disarm a society.
