Colombia’s Juan Manuel Santos, after being elected president by a landslide last night, pledged to free his country from the “nightmare of violence” by sustaining all the government’s might against Marxist rebels.
The record 9 million ballots cast for Santos gave the U.S.- educated economist and former defense minister 69 percent of the vote against 28 percent for the Green Party’s Antanas Mockus.
