Morning in Colombia (WSJ)

"So how did the rule of law return? Locals give the credit to Mr. Uribe, who offered all combatants a deal to surrender. Here in Casanare the paras demobilized and ever since, the ranchers under the porch in the rainstorm tell me, the warring has ended and a high-profile police and military presence keeps the peace.

This is great news for all Colombians, except for Mrs. Pelosi's supporters here. Many of them sympathize with the FARC and were hoping its terrorism would produce a new order. Fortunately Colombia's democracy has survived, and the FARC is not about to win any election."

Aztec--could you post a list of Congresswomen's Pelosi's Supporters who are Bonafide FARC Sympathizers? Or is this hearsay or personal opinion? Hadn't read this before,,,

When I stayed in Yopal on the army base, they seemed to mostly have trouble with the paras, not FARC.
