... Talk about having shit for brains. The FARC are hardly winning hearts and minds with this kind of crap. Maybe Piedad can blame Uribe. |

... Adriaan, Please do not publish the treasonous basura (trash) that spews from the mouth of this vile, traitorous, hateful woman. By doing so you are only giving her yer another platform from which she can inflict more death and suffering on the people of Colombia. Why give her another venue to heap paraise on the so called Bolivarian Revolution? She will not be happy until Colombia is sliding into the same dark chasm in which Venezuela finds itself. Please reconsider this........ |

... I did consider, but I want all opinions to have a space to talk. I have also published from press releases from the FARC. In my opinion, as long as someone's talking he is listening too and is open for reason. When the talking stops, all that's left is fighting. I haven't seen the interview yet, but I suppose you and a lot with you will disagree with what she says, you may see confirmed why you dislike her or her ideas. But even those we disagree with have the right to express themselves and who better than she herself can make you come to a conclusion what exactly it is you disagree with? |
