European Union (EU) representatives vowed that they will cooperate closely with their Latin American counterparts to stem the flow of illegal narcotics."The EU has expressed its solidarity and preparedness to help solve the security situation," Czech Foreign Minister Jan Kohout said in reaction to the talks held between EU members and several Latin American states including Mexico, those affiliated with Mercosur, and countries in Central America. Ministers acknowledged that there’s a strong “need to build bridges on both sides”, as one EU rep mentioned, in order to combat the drug trade and ensure security in transit areas.
Nicaraguan State Secretary Valdrak Jaetschke Whitaker expressed hope that the discussions could lead to more equitable, fair relations between the regions:
(…)Whitaker also pointed out the differences or "asymmetries" between Europe and Central America that must be taken into account before "a region of stability and prosperity" can be built.Image- javno.com
"What we were hoping was to see a much more flexible approach on the European side," he said.
He called for a partnership agreement that "recognizes that we are different, that each of us has different perspectives, but that we respect these differences," and added he "wanted a good agreement which is always better than a quick agreement."

I do not know if Marihuana can one day be "liberated", like alcohol and tobacco.

A bunch of Republicans is spanking me !! - Many against one - Do you want to join a good fight ??
Gather.com is a wonderful site of Forums, Conversations and Discussions, People do not seem to be the meannest Racists or Lowest Scum.
I wrote a Leading Article, or Head Post in Gather.com :
I explained how Obama may last for 8 years or perhaps 16 years like Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
How Obama is going to "torture" the guys at Fox News and other Idiots
Then I woke up the Dracula of Republicans. My spankers have answered with rivers of hate against :
1) Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ( I admire and Respect this Lady )
2) "The race card is the final hiding place of a liberal that can't continue a debate based on it's merits. I'm not saying racism doesn't exist, it does, but the Democrats manipulate it to further their agenda."
3) Furious Attacks against Wanda Sykes for Kidney of Mr Rush Limbaugh. ( I love and admire Wanda ).
4) "I don't have a problem with the color of Obama's skin, I have a problem with the thinness of it." -- Dennis Miller at Bill O'Reilly's comedy show.
5)"As far as you pretty much castigating the America youth as following sheep, it is what I would expect from a typical liberal."
I am a humble ant and my "Bag of Tricks" is certainly very limited. I am not the smartest follower and admirer of Mr Obama and the Democratic Party. I enjoy laughing at fools, but I consider that this fight is very uneven, many against one.
So if you want to say some painful realities to those educated by the Wisdom and Profundity, the Great Depth of Intellect of Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller go to the above link.
By the way. I still think that Mr Obama has gas for many years. He will be a Great President.
