Discussion:
Often times, groups like the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC) are described as Narco-Terror groups. However, the U.S. makes a clear policy distinction between the war on terror, which is really a war to counter violent islamist extremism, and the war on drugs being prosecuted in South America. Is this distinction valid and it is useful for a policy framework?
