Columbian government = Columbian criminals.

Lots of smoke and mirrors, but you haven't even come close to defending this statement. Elements of the Columbian Army have links to an umbrella group of para-militarys (UAC) that support their anti-communist efforts by 'taxing' local drug shipments. How does this make the columbian government = columbian criminals?

Does newly elected Columbian president Uribe come from the ranks of the military? (No) Has he sided with the paramilitary elements in his country against the United States? (No) Is he willing to cooperate with the US and extradite the head of the UAC as requested by the Justice department this morning? (Yes)

Your analysis of the situation in Columbia is weak and leaves much to be desired. Unless you can support and defend statements like the one above, you're better off not making them in the first place. Don't you agree?

I'd say that support from the military and 20-30% of the Colombian legislature counts as government support. Don't you agree?
