5. *sigh* Do you regularly interact with actual Colombians and ask about their opinion on the FARC?

I sure do, and none of them think they're a group that can be negotiated with, and would rather see them disbanded than have any voice in politics. They're a narco-terrorist band of delinquents who initially sought to overthrow a government and install a Marxist regime, and since they were obviously gonna lose, they had to resort to more criminal tactics to gain finance and resources, such as civilian kidnapping a and drug trade. Please tell me how they're suddenly some type of benevolent army that wants "peace." Oh, but I forget that anybody who considers themselves "leftist," no matter how blatantly evil they act, is some kind of peaceful benevolent freedom fighter in your eyes.
