it isn't just one man... this went on for a vote and the majority of the people voted against it... sure he probably helped but a lot of us, including myself saw this deal as an insult to the millions of victims of the FARC... Colombia said no to a narconsitution for the second time in my lifetime and for that I am kinda proud.

The FARC IMHO are already defeated and they know it... the government just want to give them a way to save face, however they have no popular support and the country is moving forward without them...

Hate breads only more hate my friend. FARC doesn't have the majority, no, but they're not small either. They are a very large and established group, impossible to defeat, because they are part of Colombia, just as you are. You have to agree on the way to live together, and say "yes" to something eventually. That is, without resorting to brutal dick waving that is war once again.

the farc only have around 10000 people in their ranks... that's .02% of the population... that is pretty small...

they only look larger due to their narco-wealth (in fact they are one of the wealthiest terrorist groups in the world) add the colombian government history of just ignoring the pleas of the poor and their remote location... and that's how they get away with this crap.

It's oversimplifying to imply that a vote against the terms of one peace deal is just fueled by hatred and machismo.
