   As most everyone has heard, the U.S. will be taking an active role
in patrolling the Colombian coast with... oh,... the aircraft carrier
John F. Kennedy, by request of the Colombian government.  Now's the 
time for everyone to predict the result of this action.  Will the 
presence of F-14s following drug-running planes reduce drugs entering the U.S.?
Is there anything militarily that the drug dealers can do to fight back
against this blockade?  I would think they do have surface-to-air missiles if
we decide to fly recon flights over their factories...
