The guerillas have come to discover that world has moved past them. They had discredited their movement with the prevalent use of kidnapping.

The government despite billion dollar support from from US realized that their success had peaked. Many parts of Colombia were not accessible and gave cover to the rebels.

Time for peace!

Kudos to the Cubans and Venezuelans who urged the rebels to come to the table. Also to the Colombian president.

Cool. My oldest son is going to Bogota next month on business for a week. I've heard it's an awesome city.

How these things end. Both sides see cost but no gain in continuing.

Can take a real long time....
