Peru's Shining Path defeated, rebel leader admits.

Peru's Shining Path rebel movement has been defeated, one of the group's few active remaining leaders has admitted.

Comrade Artemio, who heads a group in northern Peru, said they were ready to talk to the government about ending their armed rebellion.

Colombians stage big anti-Farc protests.

Tens of thousands of people across Colombia have taken part in protests against the country's largest left-wing guerrilla group, Farc.

Wearing white T-shirts, protesters demanded that the rebels free the hostages they have been holding, in some case for more than a decade.

The demonstrators also voiced outrage over last month's killing of four people held by the rebels.

So it looks like the Shining Path folks will surrender or officially turn into what they've been for a while, another violent drug gang.

FARC seems to have pissed enough Columbians off to generate massive protests and calls for them to back down. Hard to stage a popular revolution when you're not very popular. Looks like they may also go the official violent drug gang route, or maybe go to work for Pres. Chavez more directly. He probably needs thugs.

I'm sure Maxine Waters and the resident sympathizers in the US Congress will find some way to send them down some emergency aid.

Maybe Cynthia McKinney can take a break from gun running over in Gaza to help out the cause.
