"He wanted clarity unequivocally wanted to create a world of simplicity so clear that his loneliness might be tied to such clarity as to iron pole "(Hermann Broch, The Sleepwalkers)
The 'parapoliticología' has become a specialty within the Colombian political analysis. There are not many specialists, are rather few and valuable, and have now spent over the tree to the forest. Its future development will be predictable, I foresee, to a more comprehensive view of the entire conflict with the nuances of ideological, political, economic, cultural and historical roots of many origins. I can foresee is an unbiased look, with less epithets and insults, more rigorously, objectively and less 'moralistic'. Without prejudice and hopefully no other interest than the knowledge of the truth.
Reconciling the objective with the subjective has never been easier-and less in the middle of a war, but the effort is worth the effort to widen the scope and deepen the analysis. We owe also a good history of armed conflict, and added: We also owe a great novel, not a simple adventure story to Walter Scott, but a novel that allows us to discover how we got here, what and who we are inside and outside ourselves, what role we play, caught in this conflict that seems to have no end, in a contrast of mirrors and masks where good and evil are confused, alternating, and eventually kill each other, without being known, without even want to know or recognize. This
comes about because blow-faint, very faint but noticeable wind-peace-not only Chavez but also with the guerrillas, and not just with the guerrillas, the paramilitaries also reassembled, and why not? with the 'BACRIM' and up the hill may be reaching the appointed time to talk face-to-face with employers drug traffickers who have made the prohibition and the illegal source of wealth and power. If we want peace and we will not reach final to repeat the experience improved since Rojas Pinilla to Uribe, to Belisario, Barco, Gaviria, Samper, Pastrana, brought us to this edge of armed conflict, overwhelming country of victims and victimizers, the heirs of so much bloodshed, so much displaced peasants, outraged so much freedom and injustice empowered.
If we commit as a state and society not to demonize any who come to the table, let alone put him in jail and extradite him, submit to worse death penalty, which ended yesterday and now raging UP with demobilized paramilitaries, and if we are able to provide ourselves with sufficient guarantees and international guarantees "beyond suspicion" and experienced in matters of peace and reconciliation, also the 'parapoliticólogos' and 'violentologists' the 'farcólogos' and 'paracólogos', the 'Narcotic Drug' and 'criminology', etc., etc, there is no enemy of peace, or 'warlord', or 'merchant of death' or particular terrorist or state, which will be against the peace and acts of peace and the peace it deserves Colombia inevitable and need not have been banished from the land of the Colombians.
The journey of such stealthy procession of spokesmen is not confined to meetings in cities reservadísimos difficult to pronounce and intricate writing, although it is understood that you can not start by open areas and departmental assemblies, DAS nor laissez-passer, though they were safe from pike and persecution, "which becomes the first step in a journey of patience and precautions, a precursor of gigantic proportions located within bulletproof architectures and onlookers. Finally, if reaching an agreement will not be easy, neither will-not-tune initially being the right word, to harmonize the mood and gesture, without succumbing to the sea through reproach, the desert of mutual incomprehension.
If liberals and conservatives come to explain what the hell was the famous and stop violence in the 30's and 40-in particular the 50 - when neither FARC nor ELN and AUC and the posters were still attributable for nothing of absolutely nothing of what happened next, in the 70's and 80's, 90's and beginning of this new century, we are better prepared to look at us-like ancestors of ourselves, in the origins of those winds that brought after storms we all know and suffer and go up today. It is not from so far to stay asleep in the mists of time, but be aware, as a society and that every state has its reasons therefore, and if we do not know, or worse, we do not want to know - we are doomed to always return to the same point of origin, not the same, but 'with them'.
And if the source was the land, its appropriation and plunder, also know in detail what the Cold War and the Cuban revolution and explains all the blood that poured in 60 and 70, which has to do-much-with international situations, but much -more-with social conflicts and economic, political and territorial, internal, internal to the bone, and lodged in the belly of the Homeland cancer inequality and war. Should study and explain the background to the problems and each of the armed actors for decades now, and until there is no unanimous agreement I do not say, but agreements, for each period are not skipped. This can be structured, should be structured with the participation of all those who have something to say about it. The reconciliation that made possible the peace of today can only be founded on the recognition of the past, forgiveness and repair what we have to forgive and repair, from back to front, in those days to these times.
some would say, if we go back now may not get there at present, and Colombia and will never have a future other than war.
My humble opinion is different: now if we do not make peace with our origins, to the souls who suffered in the past all the pain, "if we do not recognize their distress and anxieties, dreams and nightmares, if we come into contact with the echo of their cries and their dreams, never understand that we are flesh of the flesh, the spirit of that spirit, the heirs of those parents conceived us.
If you do not recognize ourselves as the descendants of those who placed us in this vale of tears, if we are unable to forgive and foreign body repair in the wounds and scars without closing, we will never know, not experience or feel ever that by sharing our blood that blood of those who were our fathers and grandfathers and fathers, brothers are now different, distant, even enemies and opposed-but ultimately brothers left and right, but brothers, within the law or outside the law, but brothers.
And if we are brothers, this land is our home, and if Colombia is our home, and so sorry-it will be easier-even inevitable-fix in peace without anyone to stay outdoors or excluded from the family reunion.
Therefore, for all that is at stake, I do not think of any way in the 'preconditions' to start the dialogue, much less when these 'preconditions' are precisely the reasons that prompt dialogue, open veins and wounds the urgent need to heal and close.
But hey ... if the government insists the issue of freedom of all hostages of the FARC, which are held prisoners of war or for economic reasons FARC could well find a humanitarian to the point.
please you not to government but to found and the renewed dialogue with society and the world, which puts it as a 'precondition' but would receive such freedoms as a gift, a gift from brother to brother, as a fact that our souls rejoice and be a good omen ahead of time.
So I see myself.
