I was wondering... I have always been wondering; how do you end the civil-war in Colombia? Some people say the government is corrupt, and they probably are, and other people say the Guerrillas are just "killers" and then you got the drug business... its a mess. So how do you fix that country up?
I also got another question; do you guys think the FARCs is as strong as how the Vietcong was?
This are some options, I guess;
A. Keep on negotiating with the Guerrillas for peace... but probably this won't be sucessful and it will just make the conflict and bloodshed last longer... And that is the problem; in a country that is suppose to be Democratic, in Colombia you can't have a legal Communist party or something like that because that party would be exterminated by another party etc etc, this is one of the reasons the Guerrillas can't negotiate... And as it stands right now, the Farc is so strong that the terms are on their hands... and that is not good for democracy...
B. And this I think is the policy of the current president; to weaken the Guerrillas through military action to such an extent that they are force to the negotiating table. And this way the government would make the terms.
C. Perhaps a little too much, but some people in Colombia think that the USA should sent troops to Colombia to fight the Guerrillas... like in Vietnam... but then, would not this cause just another Vietnam war... and you know how that ended... I wonder what would be the result of US intervention...
D. Perhaps not a solution the government can give, but what about if the FARC grows strong enough to overthrow the government? hmmm
What other solutions to this conflict can there be? A good thing to think about in this coflict is; Do the Guerrillas want to end the bloodshed?...
