Thanks for taking up this important su...Mr Weeks :<br /><br />Thanks for taking up this important subject ... Americans shouldn't be mesmerized by Afghanistan and Iraq as to forget the fire in their neighborhood.<br /><br />Criminals are criminals, and murderers are murderers, The Guerrillas said that they were redeeming the poor, but they were actually exterminating them.<br /><br />The Greatest Problem of Uribe now are the Paracos, the guerrillas or Mafia from the Right. Also criminals, murderers and terrorists.<br /><br />I do not deny the existence of this problem of the displaced, I don't deny that there are still corrupted military personnel.<br /><br />I do not think that the Government of Colombia is a model of Honesty and Decency. I do not like a third term for Mr Uribe.<br /><br />These displaced people need help and should be helped. So the taxpayers money should be used.<br /><br />But I also think that there is a natural phenomenon of attraction to big cities. And there is also a phenomenon of "Malicia IndÃgena", by which you say that you are displaced and you are granted some help. That may also be an escape from unemployment in these times of World Recession.<br /><br />This illuminates another success of the Colombian Government and Economy.<br /><br />With so many enemies inside and outside ( Venezuela, Ecuador ) Colombia is growing economically and providing some services for the poor, I have seen that with my own eyes : Health Care, Education, Building Schools and Hospitals, etc ...<br /><br />Those Schools and Hospitals were built in the safest places and in the most organized cities. So it is natural that people flow to those places.<br /><br />Please do not say that I am a Uribist or that I deny the existence of the diplaced, or that I think that the Armed Forces of Colombia are very pure.<br /><br />But compared to Venezuela or Ecuador, the Colombian Nation is better organized in the matters of Politics, Free Speech, Private Initiative, Free Press, Democracy, Economy, etc .... without billions of dollars in oil revenues, Colombia struggles for survival surrounded by scoundrels and their ridiculous propaganda lies.<br /><br />And Yes !! ... I am sure that the Colombian Army is improving in respect for Human Rights ! ...<br /><br />It is very shameful for Latin America that the Unasur is so coward before these lies .... Despicable Cowardice of Nations begging for alms ....<br /><br />It shows the backwardness of Latin America in Politics and Culture, that only the voice of a courageous man Mr Uribe is raised against Lies and Infamy. <br /><br />Forget all dreams of Latin American Unity or Solidarity .... Latin America will be more and more divided with the passage of time.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://milenials.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Milenials.com</strong></a><br /><br />Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.com
