One last note tonight:
Colombia has at least three active civil wars - with dissident FARC, ELN, & Clan del Golfo (narcotraffickers affecting political cause).
Everyone has a story from hard seasons in 60+ years of conflict. Trauma & atrocity are known elements to be grieved.
Where Colombians differ is that it's not appropriate to talk politics most of the time.
Too much bluster to no good end.
Online, we have the privilege to be able to talk of atrocity safely.
May we always use it well.
@MLClark Americans and the majority of the west could really learn a great lesson by following Columbia's example.
