Not directly comparable for two important reasons: The Good Friday Agreement was signed before the Rome Statutes on War Crimes came into effect (in no small part as a response to similar "blank-slate" deals in the 80's and ea

We would be ok with granting amnesty to lower level FARC scientists, but the Hitlers, Eichmanns, Goebbelses, Goerings, Heydrichs, Himmlers, Hoesses and Mengeles of the FARC must see some jail time.

And colombians did, last sunday. Guerrillas were created because justice was not applied when crimes were committed against their founders. Paramilitaries were created because the state did not apply justice or provide security to victims o

Really? which convicted war criminal holds office? If you say 'Bush' you didn't really read my comment. I fully support him being investigated for war crimes. But until he is convicted, that is a non-sequitur.

Gladly. That is one of the favorite simplistic spins of the supporters of the FARC-Santos deal, when in reality it has little to do with the victims and a lot to do with internal colombian political structures. Most maps you will see suppor

Name ONE developed country that would accept zero jail time and political eligibility for someone convicted of multiple war crimes, with hundreds of years in cumulative prison sentences. That is precisely my point. You are just one of many

This is just another version of the white savior complex. Developed countries support 'peace' processes that make them feel good about themselves, with little regard for the root causes of the conflict to begin with. Apparently th

Who is 'they' exactly? Expecting justice hardly makes me an 'Uribista'.

If you stop your constitutional obligation to combat crime, OBVIOUSLY there will be fewer deaths in combat. That does not make it right. And of course, in typical izquierdista fashion, you justify your arguments by turning it into a class w

FARC apologists will always find a way to make everything about Uribe. All manners of crime are justified because 'Uribe did it first'. Colombian leftists are nothing if not hypocritical.

There was no 'stalemate'. FARC in 2010 were 5000 strong, taking heavy losses and on the run. Then came Santos, who obsessed over winning international recognition that has eluded him at home, legitimized FARC, gave them an interna

The Union and Confederate armies both had around 200,000 soldiers each in 1861. That is a war on equal terms. FARC guerillas are about 17,000 now (about 5000 in 2010, before this 'peace process'). The colombian army is 500,000 plu

By that logic there should be no plea bargains or criminal surrenders. You negotiate not only to be released with no consequence. You also negotiate to lessen your punishment. The AUC paramilitary leaders did this and are now paying reduced

Not equal parties. A legitimately constituted state with 50 million people vs. 17,000 guerillas. All countries have terrorism and 'coexist' with it. In the meantime their citizens can go about their business. That was the state of

Yes I read it. Word by word. I am born and raised colombian, and for over 40 years have seen the result of sacrificing justice for short term gains or individual vanity. It's not 5 seats. It's 5 in the senate, 5 in congress, and 1

Read the final agreement (if you dare and don't vomit easily): - Those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity will NOT go to jail, in a blatant violation of the Rome statute. - Despite earning BILLIONS from drug traffic

The author's voice makes me want to create some happy little fractal trees over here ... then some happy little fractal clouds over there ... This is awesome. I want to play with this very badly.

I love Ruby/Rails, but if it were indeed "the language of the web" we wouldn't need to compile anything to Javascript. Ruby/Rails needs a real answer to real-time front-end javascript frameworks. Grandiloquence does
