Excellent. Though he's a man of the right I've come to respect Santos for the way he's broken from the bloody policies of his predecessor and made bold moves for peace, first making amends with Chavez and now this. Neither side has anything to gain from continuing the war, only the drug dealers benefit. Hopefully Colombia is now on the road to becoming a more normal country, and in a few years with the overweening security state weakened by peace the left may even get elected as in most of the rest of the continent
