Is Argentina becoming a "national sanctuary for foreign terrorists?" That's the question posed on the Argentine Web site Ambitoweb.com this week. As suggested by the provocative commentary, it's a possibility that alarms more than a few Argentines these days. It is also a question worth the attention of U.S. policy makers. More and more, Argentina is looking like the pre-9/11 Saudi Arabia of South America. While official engagements between the U.S. and Argentina are cordial, what is being cultivated on the Southern Cone home turf hardly qualifies Argentina as an ally in the war on terror. Having been served the fruits of Saudi double talk four years ago, the U.S. would be well advised to be twice shy. The concern raised on Ambitoweb.com came on the heels of a decision by an Argentine judge to reject Chile's request to extradite Sergio Galvarino Apablaza.....

Accepting the article at face value, it sounds like another South American country sliding away from the US and joining a growing Marxist/terrorist axis in South America. However, it would be nice to have working link to the article and comments from any Freepers knowledgeable of South American activities.

It would not suprise me if it was. While we are killing muslim fanatics in the middle east they are sneaking across our undefended southern border and sooner or later will make us realize our mistake.

If true, we can extend WW IV/the Final Crusade and destroy Jihadism and those who support it in Argentina and other Marxist states.
