justice When the United States' top drug cop visited here recently, he traveled in bulletproof vans. Police with automatic weapons ringed the hotel where he slept. He was warned that if he left the city limits, he risked being kidnapped by rebels.

In short, Asa Hutchinson, the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), found himself in something akin to a war zone. This capital city is surrounded by anti-government insurgents who often finance their civil war with profits from trafficking in cocaine and heroin.

A missed opportunity
Too bad the FARC rebels (who are only trying to free their contry from the oppresive grasp of the 1% of the population that controls 90% of the wealth in their country, sound familiar?) didnt welcome Assa to their country the way he welcomes himself to theirs. A nice healthy dose of defoliant in his face would have made a nice picture on the front page of Time or Newsweek.

Of course then we would HAD to have declared war on them, but as you can see, we already have:

''Now that the proof is clear that the terrorists are engaged in trafficking as well, our support for Colombia should recognize that the traffickers are also terrorists,'' he said.

"if you aren't with us, you are against us"

And since FARC loves blowing up our precious oil pipelines, they are against us, and must be evil...

I remember hearing about FARC in the 80's and thinking what horrible people they must be...now the more i hear about them, the more i realize they have more in common with our founding fathers than our government does...they only want to be free and have their country rely on it's own resources, not be subserviant to a controlling nation half a planet away that knows or cares nothing about the people of that country, only about what they can pillage from these people.

Even the greatest fiction writer could not write a story like the one being written by our own government and have it published..it would be too unbelievable.
