Probably the USA. Do you have a point? |
Ironic isn't it? The US is largest consumer of Columbian cocaine in the world. In a sense, US citizens make it possible for FARC to fund itself and operate.
Instead for sending huge amounts of US $$$ to Columbia, (undoubtably to line some corrupt officials pockets) why not spend it at home to improve border security and choke off the coke entering the US? The direct benefits are much greater to US citizens. Tighter border security means fewer drugs, fewer illegals and better screening for potential "terrorists". |
All of this has nothing to do with the fact that FARC is a terrorist organization and they are being given safe haven, money and who knows what else just across the border in Venezuela and Ecuador.
It also shows no indication that Bush "is spoiling for a fight with Chavez" as you put it.
