There was no 'stalemate'. FARC in 2010 were 5000 strong, taking heavy losses and on the run. Then came Santos, who obsessed over winning international recognition that has eluded him at home, legitimized FARC, gave them an international stage and set in motion a 6 year 'peace process' that has left FARC in congress and senate, with all their crimes whitewashed, and with our already weak justice system mortally wounded.
