This article was written a couple of hours before the bombing at the WTC. Has our policy changed since or has the WTC bombing strenghtened our hand? War on terrorism, or war on Islamic terrorism?

...the Colombia Commission of Jurists estimates that 70 percent of killings (of civilians) are carried out "by paramilitary groups associated with the army."

Perhaps we should debate this as to factuality before we send any more bucks. Doesn't seem right to give dollars to death squads, left or "right".

Better yet, just stop the tax dollars all together, and let individuals send their contributions to the terrorists of their choice.

Is this for real or just the plot of a book?

I wonder at what point of deployment Eastward the south will blow up in our faces?

This Colombia ordeal is similar to the way Vietnam began. They've got deep dark jungles too. Only difference is there is a lot of oil in Colombia. Lots of oil and lots of natives to poison with the pesticides being sprayed on them and their banana crops. It will not surprise me if Colombian rebels come to American soil to wage their wars like the Arabs have done.

While America was being attacked on September 11th, our wonderful Secretary, Mr. Powell was in south America giving more funding and Blackhawk helicopters to murder and poison the people of South America. When will the injustices end?
