#1 Canadian Colonels in Somalia and missing Canadians in Columbia. Can't Canada just stay out of everyone else's business? Signs of imperialism it seems to me.

#2 What makes you think that it's not "one and the same" here? Let's use a little closure, folks.

#3 Some of my best friends are Canadians, including at least one Canadian officer who's already served two tours in Afghanistan. Canada has a problem with some of its muslim inhabitants, just as we and every other non-muslim nation has. Sounds like the Canadian that was kidnapped was visiting in-laws, not participating in anything military- or drug-related. Let's keep the aspersions to a minimum, except where it belongs - Pakistan, Afghanistan, Paleostain, Lebanon, etc.

#5 Hope I am wrong, but the possibility is there that FARC, after getting duped last weekend may choose to go on the offensive and start killing hostages; more for the 'look at us, we still be impo'tant' factor than anything else.
Hope there are follow on 'activities' planned for those still held.
