When you do something for world peace, peace among groups, peace among individuals, or your own inner peace, you improve the total peace picture.
On one hand, it seems strange that a country that has suffered so much from violence and war would be debating if they want peace or not. But in Colombia, a part of society is deeply connected with the war as a means of making a living.
We must walk according to the highest light we have, encountering lovingly those who are out of harmony, and trying to inspire them toward a better way.

Suppose that the US really is trying to get rid of drugs in Colombia. Does Colombia then have the right to fumigate tobacco farms in Kentucky? They are producing a lethal substance far more dangerous than cocaine. More Colombians die from tobacco-related illnesses than Americans die from cocaine. Of course, Colombia has no right to do that.
