Dear Pres Santos of Colombia: What are you thinking?

A couple of years ago, we greeted Sr Santos' presidency in Colombia.  He seemed like the right man to follow up the good works of Pres Uribe.

I guess that we were wrong and very wrong about that. 

First, you don't negotiate with rats because a rat is always a rat.  What exactly has the FARC done to earn this kind of treatment? 

FARC is and has always been a terrorist group.  They are in the business of killing innocent people and threatening the sovereignty of Colombia.  They are now in the drug trade!

Second, you don't accept meetings in Cuba.  This is crazy because Cuba is not a neutral party in terrorism or peace.

Third, Colombia should be negotiating from a position of strength not weakness.  Colombia dealt a serious blow to the FARC and should not throw a lifeline to terrorists.

Again, we were optimistic about Colombia after Pres Uribe.   We are not anymore. 

We ask again:  What are you thinking Pres Santos?
