| Congress and the State Dept. really bungled this. Colombia has been, on balance, a fairly good ally of the US lately, with a right-leaning gov't and an improving economy. But the anti-globalists in Congress and the drug warriors in the administration chose to withhold vital US assistance and policy changes. Now Hugo is taking the initiative to step into the void, and now he can try for a cut of Colombia's narcodollars. |
