3 Sad Colombians in Gaza


This morning-- on top of flotilla news, we also found out that Juan Manuel Santos won the presidency of Colombia- the ex-minister of defense who has yet to lead a village let alone a country.

Colombia has demonstrated they are not ready for change, not ready for peace processes, not ready for progress, and not ready for thinking about measures other than military solutions.

I'll cling on to my hope that maybe in 4 years Antanas Mockus (below) will be able to rise to the presidency- we need a super citizen in power. A man who has demonstrated leadership, honesty, creativity, and grassroot changes.

There are 3 other Colombians in Gaza, we're pretty bummed out. Equally as guilty, I tried to sign up to vote in January- turns out registration had closed in November of last year- grrr!
