There's one other president in our hemisphere who resembles him, a man in the middle of another terror war whose inhumanly vicious enemies have tried to assassinate him two times in the past week, adding to a long string of other efforts. And his response has been like President Bush's - to defy them and strike them and crush them, even harder.

His resoluteness in the face of savage Marxist narcotrafficante terrorists is a stunning thing, as is his success in bringing Colombia's long-moribund economy back to life.

Why are things so good? Well, because like President Bush, President Uribe's got his priorities straight. He's taken on the terror war in Colombia above all else, and he's winning.
