We are down there helping them fight the FARC and the ELN, terrorist groups that have ties to Chavez in Venezuala, the IRA, and Al-Qaeda.

Columbia is also a very oil-rich country.

It also provides a large % of one of the larger retail items in the United States, cocaine. Between that and, as you mention, oil, they are a resource-rich country. Emeralds and coffee are a bonus.
