> I saw a poll on ABC last night I found interesting- > 87% of Colombians do not believe the US is a real friend Besides the president of Costa Rica and a few assorted Panamanians, we are the big imperialist power (read bully) to the north. They probably figure that with tensions with the USSR lessening, we will return to the days of the Monroe doctrine. Looking at Panama, they might not be that far off. > 63% of Colombians believe Bush and other Presidents are in danger at Cartagena So do i. What better place to assasinate someone you don't like than on your home ground?? i doubt that cartels could do it in Washington, but Cartagena has already proved less than secure to the Columbian government itself. > 58% of Colombians believe their gov't should give up the war against the cartels Causing a lot of misery in the streets, and generally destabilizing to all concerned. WHo wants to live in a war zone?? You can move to Beirut for that. > What do you think? James Zuelow FSJFZ@ALASKA
