The achievements of the FARC-EP certainly seem impressive. However, there is one achievement which you have neglected to mention - FARCs contribution to Colombia being the kidnap capital of the world. Rights groups estimate that the FARC kidnapped 734 people in 2000, although they have a bit to go before catching up with the ELN, who kidnapped 867. There were a total of 3,162 people abducted in 2000 by both the left and the right.
I'm sure that if you have a really big push this year you'll gain the number one spot in this gross abuse of human rights!!!
