SOUNDING BOARD is an outlet for opinions on good and crazy things going on at home (wherever I may be). All are welcome. You are not expected to bring anything except your common sense & sense of humor.

Let's see what happens to this "final negotiations to end the endless negotiations" between government and the NDF. This is a good move. An interagency committee is preparing an "integrated, comprehensive, multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional" (wow, big words) solution to the problem. At least they recognize that the military solution alone is not going to solve the problem. But CPP/NDF/NPA should be reminded that, if a negotiated settlement materializes, their members, particularly of the NPA, will still be liable for the atrocities they have committed. Deal with that in the courts.
