They won't like it up 'em. It's not prison that the FARC have planned for him and many others, but a socialist transformation.

Why talks with an extremely dangerous terrorist organization if the Colombian government has the capability to send its members to jail or their graves?

This peace talk with anti-peace groups was a political suicide and now he wants the crowd back to him. Colombia is probably the most right-wing country in Latam, yet the country seems to be ruled the same way of the other Latams. You'd expect them to have a more modern government like Chile - or our new star Peru. Inept self-proclaimed right-wingers are worse than left-wingers who sucks but at least are doing what they know - to suck. It's more anti-comunist government than a pro-capitalism government.

Anti-comunist, pro-capitalist, peace-talks with anti-peace people, left or right or up or down... Does anyone remembers that tons of blood was shed and it's still being shed on Colombian soil?

I think Santos intention was that of ending the bloodshed, but there aren´t simple answers, which seem to be reflected by the ppl oppinion 35%.
