Is it a novel, or history or?<BR/><BR/>Theodora, thank you :)<BR/><BR/>Juanri and Anonymous, I don't have the whole story, of course. Nor, do most of us. US involvement in Columbia and the "drug war" is problematic, even more so is the demand for drugs in the US which fuels so many problems. The problems in Columbia have lasted more than a generation; you can't really think that Correa is really to blame? And yet, I recognize that he may indeed be complicit. No one in politics is pure.<BR/><BR/>I only hope the countries can regain peaceful relations, because most people in the three countries would experience greater difficulties if they went to war.Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-54512628725109816792008-03-04T16:30:00.000-08:002008-03-04T16:30:00.000-08:00Juanri, neither Bardiac nor I are saying that the ...Juanri, neither Bardiac nor I are saying that the Ecuadorean or Venezuelan governments are *right*. I am saying that I hope they will see reason -- that in fact ridding the region of a rat is a good thing, and certainly not worth making war over. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps it's not my place to say this, since Bardiac's certainly capable of defending herself should she wish to do so, but since I appreciate her greatly: I don't think she deserved your original jab. You basically said that she wasn't competent to bring this issue to her readers' attention because she didn't know the whole story. You have told us some of the rest of the story. That's great; your passion inspired me to go look things up. Next time, tell us the story with all the passion and without the poke at your host.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-28643344773850097442008-03-04T15:09:00.000-08:002008-03-04T15:09:00.000-08:00Peaceful resolution...REALLY???

Now two other countries are involved and instead of supporting their neighbor, they are placing blame on the goverment. Presidente Uribe did not start this war. He has been trying to end it,as are the colombian people. I am a colombian native and an american citizen. I love the country I was born in. The horror that the colombian people have endured in the last 40 years has to stop. Personally it would not surprise me one bit if both Correa and Chavez are in deep with the FARC and what it stands for. If that isn't the case, they why are they behind people(FARC) who have murdered millions....??? VIVA COLOMBIA!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-15500703501895789372008-03-03T09:12:00.000-08:002008-03-03T09:12:00.000-08:00Juanri, Bardiac is hoping that the situation does ...Juanri, Bardiac is hoping that the situation does not escalate into violence among countries, no matter who killed whom where and why. Do not you hope for a peaceful resolution as well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-80343237155079960382008-03-03T07:17:00.000-08:002008-03-03T07:17:00.000-08:00It would be better if you read the news with a lit...It would be better if you read the news with a little more attention in order to write about it.

It makes me feel a bit ashamed of myself - but moreso of this country.<BR/><BR/>I've really enjoyed reading about your visit to Hiroshima. I read John Hersey's book Hiroshima last semester and it's very meaningful to hear you talk about some of the same things addressed in the novel.<BR/><BR/>And then there are all the pretty birds you keep finding!phd mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708857060614302495noreply@blogger.com
