...American fast-food chains have become the lightning rod for anti-U.S. rage worldwide over the past decade. From Bombay to Rome, London to Mexico City, the wide windows of the fast food franchises have become something of a traditional target for crowds protesting everything from the bombing of Serbia or the entry of U.S. corporations into India's catering market to globalization in general.

Fear of AUC vengeance is one reason at least 1 million peasants fled their homes during the past decade. "This is an irregular war, and the enemy is a military target, whether in uniform or in civilian clothes," says Castano. "When this is over, let them judge me before an international tribunal--but I want the guerrilla leaders and the Colombian army there beside me in the dock." He insists that his forces never enter a village shooting at random. They...
