Hostages Freed in Colombia

This is one of the best news ever. People that had been taken hostages in excess of 5 years or more, have been freed thanks to an impeccable operation by the Colombian government.

Colombian president Alvaro Uribe has kicked the guerrillas butt and showed that it can be done.

Let me track back. There is a leftist group in Colombia known as FARC, they started as a leftist movement to turn Colombia into another Cuba; this was over 40 years ago. They have since become a fighting army of drug dealers. They use kidnapping for ransom and drug production and trafficking as means to support their cause.

What cause is that?
