...prepared to continue until the end." Peace talks are scheduled to resume in Caracas on Nov. 21. Government representatives vow to be there; the rebels have said they will not attend. The U.S. is urging them to return to the negotiating table. The governments of Central America should lend their voices to that call. Otherwise, nothing will change but the death toll...

Rather than "foster critical thinking and dialogue," the conference would have obscured real debate on an already murky issue...
