If there is a country that is not understood by the "Citizens of the World" ( studious people ) that is Colombia.
I condemn the Right Wing Violence in Colombia. Because every murder is an unfinished life.
But the Civil War is almost over and the Winner is the Democratically Elected Government.
Colombia is one of the brightest spots of Bush Foreign Policy. Something good to show to the world. And the Status of Closest Ally in the Region is not going to change. Bush and McCain were right in pushing for a Colombian agenda in trade and politics.
Colombia is a country of conservative leanings and beginning to live in economic development and some prosperity.
McCain was right in saying that people are ignorant of the economic importance of Colombia as Top buyer of American Agriculture. Review the debates with Obama please.
There is such a gross incompetent ignorance about the numbers and figures of USA foreign trade !! .... specially with Latin America. My God !!
People think that Latin America is unimportant in U. S. Exports !!
The next years are going to be harrowing and daunting for the new U. S. Administration ( study Iraq ). Having friends for America is useful, anywhere in the World. No friend is small in such international problems.
Obama was right in saying that the World Situation was getting complicated and worse for America ( in the primaries ).
