But allowing the armed conflict, with its countless victims, to continue, seems even worse. <br /><br />MikeMiguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388030533444193686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655683135628692725.post-88436375725343720302013-04-18T02:33:41.889-07:002013-04-18T02:33:41.889-07:00The argument is deeply offensive.

Instead the collective are committing another injustice to the victims and are endorsing the suffering of good people for their own arrogant self righteousness. <br /><br />All the criminals that inflicted suffering upon innocent people (or anyone for that matter) must be brought to justice in a Nuremberg style trail with Nuremberg style justice.<br /><br />The only way for Colombia to achieve a real and long lasting peace is by bringing justice to the victims and those that done them wrong.<br /><br />Forfeiting their human right to justice is only sowing seeds for further conflict.<br /><br />It's a big horrendous and even disgusting to think you have the right to denied innocent victims the right to justice for your own selfish ideals. Shame.<br /><br />If you disagree, then think about bit more about. It's as if I came to your home and stole your property and murdered your family. Afterwards me and my gang get off scotch free because we'll promise not to do it again.Stuart Oswaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935995451698556144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655683135628692725.post-88609053279954138062013-04-16T21:12:38.024-07:002013-04-16T21:12:38.024-07:00A very good argument Juan.

Ghandi<br /><br />I am in favor of this peace dialogue. The internal Colombian conflict can't be solved any other way.<br /><br />The situation now is much more different than what it used to be. The last peace process was a complete joke because FARC was actually kicking the Colombian government and its armed forces in the butt. They were very powerful and had no real need to come to a peace accord.<br /><br />In those days they asked for a huge piece of Colombian territory to negotiate and it was given to them. Today they are simply negotiating in Cuba, no land given up by the government. Also, remember the one month truce in December 2012, I have never seen them do that in all my life.<br /><br />I know they are insane and I don't support them, but I also know that this conflict will have no end until in a peace negotiation between the government and FARC, they change this country for good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910416865961198863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655683135628692725.post-89671707161367369542013-04-14T19:19:09.879-07:002013-04-14T19:19:09.879-07:00Except that, if they stay in the jungle, they'...Except that, if they stay in the jungle, they'll continue committing crimes and not being punished for a lot longer. <br /><br />MikeMiguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388030533444193686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655683135628692725.post-55978238101181888722013-04-14T10:48:19.201-07:002013-04-14T10:48:19.201-07:00Real peace can never be found down this road.

The criminals should face any offers with the offer of them paying the price of their crime. Leave them in the jungles where they can be brought justice at choice.Stuart Oswaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935995451698556144noreply@blogger.com
