Lol kinda ironic the only clothes they can get her for the trip were.,, camo's? It really was beautiful to watch her embrace her mother, hiss her cheek, lightly fingering her hair. It seemed if she were the mother and her mother, the child. She seems likeable; and the attention this drew can only diminish any respect the FARC may have had. Much is said of communism. I've heard that was more in the past; as these guerillas find more in drug money than prior ideals.

The U.S. is happy for Colombia's victory. We pray for total victory over these communist animals.

That's a great idea. Once the U.S. is totally out, the communists can really take the offensive and destroy the country. Perfect!! So, how long have you been a communist and a Chavez supporter?

Really so when did Chavez become a commie, last time i checked the CIA tried a coup attempt on his life. Open up a book once in your life and learn how America plays both sides and has done more damage to the Country then Chavez could ever dream. Read some Mike Ruppert and id support Chavez anyday of the week over GW Bush..and im an an American

For one thing, FARC is a commie group. Chavez is a hardcore socialist. Where the hell have you been? And choosing Chavez over Bush does say a great deal about where your head is. I know that both sides get played but not in every case. Certainly not in this case. Not everything is a damn conspiracy. If you actually read you could figure out what is and what is not.

Chavez and Bush are the same, one to the right and one to the left

Actually, Bush is so far removed from the Right that he's pissed off all the conservatives. He's not held to his campaign promises but then again, none of them ever do.

Yeah, its a pity that 3rd world countries are not fit for the first worlders to visit and hang around as joyful tourists. Well, the thing is that 3rd World countries house great discontent with their goverments and that's why there are armed groups fighting for several rights. Such a pity for the tourists who want to have a nice time hanging around as they do in their nice countries. There will be no peace as long as there is no justice, so the armed conflicts will continue.
