>> cheers. >> i always find colombia encouraging. they face problems more extreme and seemingly more intractable than many of us can imagine. and yet, every time i come here, it gets better. don't get me wrong, problems, serious problems remain, which is particularly heartbreaking in a country so beautiful, so generous, so proud, so eager to love and be loved back. i come back to my own country from colombia, and i think, if they can fix that, if they can make things better, then surely, there's nothing we can't do.
