Check out this quote from the article...

The minister said the new Colombian Government was launching a policy called Trees for Drugs, under which poor farmers would be paid to protect the forest instead of growing coca

What is the money for, to help them by bulletproof vests and guns to protect themselves from the FARC Guerillas, that will surely execute anyone that refuses to grow the leaf?

Colombia is pretty hopeless, though in talking to my Colombian friend lately, he feels pretty much about the new Colombian president, as i do George Bush. He thinks he may help them out. They surely need it.
