What do you think of Colombia's raid into Ecuador to fight the FARC Guerillas?

I never enjoy it when someone is killed, but the FARC has been kidnapping and torturing government officials and civilians for years. They claim to fight for freedom and equality: apparently freedom to recruit children and women into their army. They currently are holding 3 United States contractors captive. They are heavily involved with the narcotics trade. That said, I think Colombia deserved to invade Equador, as Equador didn't seem to be doing anything to squash the FARC camps. I really wish Ecuador would have done something about this themselves, but they didn't. Colombia saw this as an opportunity to squash one of the FARC's leading terrorists.
