My Comment: When researching for this post I found it amusing that a number of bloggers and other fellow travellers openly support FARC. The language and spin that they use reminds so much of the same language and spin that is often used when defending the Castro dictatorship of Cuba.
When I see Liberals defending dictatorships or violent "liberation" movements ....the look that I receive is always priceless. To defend the indefensible is always a sight to see.
