We Must Rebuild Colombia, Starting

My Generation Has Not Seen One Single Day Of Peace, And My Dream Is For My Children And The Children Of All Colombians To Have The Change To See It. I Hope The Guerrilla Understands That The Time Has Come To Leave This 50-year Confrontation Behind; That The Time Has Come To Change From Bullets To Votes, From Weapons To Argumentations; That The Time Has Come For Them To Continue Their Struggle, But Within Democracy.

You Can't Settle A 50-year Conflict In 52 Weeks.

For Many Years, They Said The Drug Lords In Colombia Were Unbeatable, But All The Same, We've Eliminated All The Big Capos (as The Drug Lords Are Called In Colombia). The Homicide Rate Is As Low As It Was 40 Years Ago And The Kidnapping Rate Has Dropped To The Level Of 1964. Now We'll Be Able To Bring Down The Street Criminals Specializing In Extortion And Robbery.

We Have Had This Happen In The Past, Right In Colombia: There Were Amnesties For Everybody, Guerrilla Members Were Elected Mayors, Senators. Today There Are Senators Who Are - Who Were Previously Guerrillas.

It's In The Interest Of The U.s. To Maintain A Strong Democracy In Colombia.
