Territorial incursions into soveriegn nations that, by the looks of things, have wrecked hostage negotiations is a big deal.
A State Department spokesman urged the world to recognise Colombia's right to defend itself. What about Ecuador's right not to be invaded?
America has supported Columbia for years against FARC. Nothing has changed. FARC is a terrorist organization and doesn't negotiate with anyone except to name the price they want. You want to call Ecuador an invasion and worthy of a war go ahead. I guess you agree with Chavez that he was a nice revolutionary. I notice you don't say anything about Venezuela sticking it's nose in. America would be supporting an ally which has been one for years. That makes it our business. You may find it acceptable leave friends in the lurch but we don't.
Well said Brad.
