7. The paramilitaries are a problem, but that's not what I'm discussing

I'm talking about the FARC, and how they should be treated like the narcoterrorists they are: zero amnesty, and full sentences to their members for promoting an armed insurgency against the Colombian state. If there was something like that in the U.S., they would've been dealt with already and none of them would've been granted any form of amnesty. I know you've got this whole delusional vision of them being some kind of freedom fighter force, but you're not fooling anyone. The FARC are narcoterrorists, and no matter for what ideology they stand for, they should not be granted any sort of amnesty and should all be sentenced for being the criminals they are. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've actually read anything from you condemning them for their blatant crimes. Do you or do you not support these armed narcoterrorists who use child soldiers (or at least used to) and kidnap innocent people for ransom and blow up public spaces filled with civilians?
