FARC scandal: the actual situation on the ground?

Hello, all of you currently in Colombia!

What's the situation there like?

Are many people concerned that their lives will be directly affected by what's going on?

Or is the perception that it's only muscle flexing on the part of Ecuador and Venezuela?

Is anyone seriously considering the possibility that the populated parts of the country (Bogota, Medellin, Cali, The Cost etc) can experience military confrontation any time soon?

I find that crazy to believe but I ain't there so I'm asking those of you who are...

On the street and with our friends it seems to be, "Mucho tilín tilín y nada de paletas."
Best translation would be(like the little push cart ice cream wagons the vendors use) "Too much ding ding but no popsicles at all."

English would be a lot of sound a fury signifying nothing or better yet, "Don't let your alligator mouth overload your canary ass."

No one lookls for anything to really happen.

The Colombian gov't is so worried about the troops moved to either border that they've responded by doing absolutely nothing.

There will be no war.
