FARC.
I do not know the origins of this Marxist-Leninist Group.
I know they have a long history of terrorism.
Bush as usual thinks circular in relation to FARC.
It appear's that they might want to demobilize and return to normal every day life.
I do not know of a terrorist group anywhere else in the world that has ended a terror campaign.
Europe did have terrorist groups during the cold war and come to think of it I do not remember anyone of them still in existence.
The Italian Red Brigades as an example.
If FARC is ready for peace then the key is to turn over the radical minority among them to the Colombian Government for prosecution.
The 'moderate' majority would need to be reeducated for assimilation into Colombian Society.
I have seen former Islamofascist Terrorists on TV or should I say I have seen former Islamic Fascists on TV.
So, yes, they can be integrated into the wider society.
The key is to get the most radical members into prison for life. So that terrorism does not start again in Colombia.
