    Umm,is FARC a guerilla group that is not trying to create an armed insurection? I ask the question as I have no knowledge of Columbian affairs, and this article has done nothing to enlighten me. If in fact FARC is armed and use their arms to promote their point of view, then surely they can expect those they are against to respond in kind?
    I feel like I must be missing something here.
    FARC may or may not be the good guys in this instance, but if you are a guerilla, you expect those in authority to try to kill you by any means they can devise.
    The aside about Columbia’s relationship with Equador and Venezuela was interesting but nowhere near detailed enough.
    A balanced article about this part of the world would be appreciated, but not this silly assortment of info bites.
