COLOMBIAN GUERRILLAS BLOW UP LUXURY HOTELS

The National Liberation Army (ELN) of Colombia has taken
responsibility for attackes against for luxury hotels in Bogota on
Dec. 9, which left 11 wounded and great destruction. The ELN said
in phone calls to the press that the attacks were the beginning of
a total war in reprisal for the arrest of Francisco Galan, third
in line in command of the ELN. (edlp 12/11 from AP)
********    

Well this should be no problem, since now that they are actively involved
in the drug trade, their friends in the cartel can give them plenty
of help to sabotage the resurrecting tourist industry, creat oil spills in
Colombias rivers generating ecological disasters, kidnap people for ransom,
and simply continues with their scorched earth campaign against the cities.
The day will soon come when the  country reaches the level of violence
of Peru and the "new" left will feel very happy that Colombia has been
burned to the ground for no ideological resons whatsoever other than
a a cold  blooded quest for power and money.  Something very simmilar happened
in El Salvador, where marxist guerrillas manipulated peaseants in experiments
of class warfare that left the country in shambles.  There is not a single
country in this hemisphere where organized violence has achieved anything,
including Cuba, and  in this day and age we have people cheering on the
sideline and clapping when some military buffoons attempt to topple the
government elected by the people.  Very few countries have been able to
resolve their conflicts peacefully and have avoided these "civil" wars 
inspired by opportunists in search of individual power.  Let us all learn from
experiences like Costa Rica and Chile (during the 80's) to see how
consensus building is more productive than consensus destroying.

And what the hell do you thing the US has been doing for ages?
Your comparison is perfect. Now tell me when are the US going to
initiate its war against all weapons producing industry right
inside its own border? Why drug production has to be illegal while
mass destruction arms are freely produced and distributed?
How many tons of coke are needed to equate the destructing
power of a single atomic bomb? How many drugs victim would be
necessary to balance the 30000 missing argentinians killed by
the military generously equipped by the US?

Do you remember General Ugo Banzer in Bolivia? Well he was well known to
be involved in the drug business. He was also well known to have
received a lot of military support to repress the bolivian people's
to death.

" Bueno, creo que esta opinion mia sera' lo que necesitamos en esta temporada
 naviden~a para empezar una buena discusion acerca de cual es el mejor ron,
 con~ac, sidra, vino, etc. :-)


He aqui mi voto:

El mejor congnac es el frances (Martell, Hine, Otard, Bisquit, Delamaine,
Courvoier y Remy Martin) si lo puedes pagar.

La mejor cidra (bastante barata por cierto) es la espan~ola.

El mejor vino.... ah.. hay tantos para decidir, el frances es el mas famoso,
pero se encuentras buenos vinos en la Rioja, (Marques de Murrieta, Marques de
Riscal,...).  Los vinos chilenos tambien son estupendos, pero los Californianos
no se quedan atras.  El secreto del vino Californiano esta en el an~ejamiento,
el estado le impone un impuesto a todo vino que se queda en el almacen cada
an~o, asi que con cada botella almacenada aumenta el precio del impuesto,
AUNQUE LA BOTELLA YA HAYA PAGADO EL IMPUESTO, asi que tienese que producir 
para sacarlo al mercado pronto, pero esto no le da tiempo al vino para que
respire en la botella.  La solucion a esto (sin tener que pagar $50 por una
botella) es comprar vinos tintos (cabernet sauvignon) y an~jarlos tu mismo
por un unos cuantos an~os.  Si lo haces me parece que son de los mejores del
mundo. Si no, compra el frances (alguno de Burdeos).

Finalmente, en cuanto al ron, tu ya sabes lo que opino de esto, pero si quieres
una recomendacion de un ron puertorriquen~o para tomarlo "straight" o "en las
rocas", comprate un ron llamado Barrilito (lo venden en el este y en Puerto
Rico). De lo contrario consiquete un Don Q o llave (para mezclar) y deja el
Bacardi un tiempo en el estante (aunque sea por un tiempito).

A proposito, espero que mis enemigos no me tomen por alcolico y empiecen
a escribir sobre el borrachin de Edelmiro solo porque no les gusta lo que
escribo acerca de Castro. Si quieren me pueden acusar de pequen~oburguesamantedelvinoygustadordeesquicitesesburguesas, pues me tiene sin cuidado.

 I'm searching into School Uniform for English class. In Japan almost all 

the junior high school students are forced to wear school uniforms and 

many high school students are forced to wear school uniform.

 I want to know whether students are forced to wear school uniform in your

No, el cuba libre se puede hacer con ron o rum, solo tienes que an~adirle hielo
limon y coca cola.  Con lo unico que no se puede hacer un cubalibre es
con el ron Cubano Havanna Club, pues donde unico lo venden no se puede
tomar coca cola.  Claro que este liquido negro es producto de una vendeta

EL SALVADOR: DEC. 15 DEADLINE FOR "FINAL" SETTLEMENT

December 15 is the deadline for the guerrillas of El Salvador's
Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) to turn over all
their weapons, as agreed in a United Nations-brokered "peace"
settlement last January.

As part of the deal, some 200 notorious military officers are
supposed to be "retired" from service--including the minister and
vice minister of defense and a large portion of the top military
brass. The infamous Atlacatl Brigade was officially disbanded in
late November, but none of its members have been dismissed from
the service.

The FMLN has demanded that before the deadline the Armed Forces
give a "clear accounting" of some 10,000 guerrilla weapons which
were seized in the course of the war. The rebel force worries
that these weapons could be used by death squads with direct
links to the Armed Forces. They point out that in November 1989
the death squad used AK-47s to massacre six Jesuit priests, their
housekeeper and her daughter. They most likely seized these
weapons from the guerrillas.

The Defense Minister and other top officials have been implicated
in these killings and many others.

Some rebel military leaders have refused to turn in their weapons
until there is more concrete evidence of compliance by the
government side to the terms of the peace agreement.

	Licores similares al pisco se encuentran en la mayor parte de America,
bajo diferentes nombres.  Aguardiente en Venezuela y Colombia, guaro en Costa Rica,
son hechos de azucar de can~a.  Entiendo que en Peru se toma Pisco tambien, y este
es hecho con azucar de frutas (uvas?) pero es tan transparente como los licores 
fuertes de can~a.  Se que guaro se toma en otros paises centroamericanos, y creo 
que bajo el mismo nombre, pero no estoy seguro.  Tambien, despues de describir el
guaro o aguardiente a los norteamericanos, me han dicho que ellos tienen una bebida
similar, pero todavia estoy buscando el nombre correcto de esta.

El Salvador's Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front Demobilizes

In preparation for the Dec. 15 deadline, Javier Castillo, of
the FMLN's Reconstruction and Development Commission, said at a 
press conference that the last 20% of the guerrillas will be 
demobilized from the 15 camps where they were concentrated. The 
destruction of weapons has been taking place at these camps. 
Castillo said, "For us it [Dec. 15] is an extremely important 
day, because it ratifies the end of the war and also the Frente's
decision to continue now in a political, economic and social 
mobilization." However, he said, negotiations are still open and 
are still being carried out. The FMLN is fulfiling its 
commitment, Castillo said, and if the government fulfills its 
end, then Dec. 15 will indeed see the end of the war. To date the
FMLN has demobilized 7,229 combatants, and some 1,700 have yet to
be disarmed. The FMLN will be recognized as a legal political 
party 24 hours after the complete demobilization of its 
combatants. Then it will put all its efforts into preparing for 
the March, 1994 elections. (edlp 12/14/92 from EFE)


Truth Commission Visits Site of 1980 Salvadoran Massacre

The delegates from the Truth Commission which grew out of 
the Salvadoran peace accords went on Dec. 13 to Las Vueltas, in 
the northern department of Chalatenango, where some 600 peasants 
were massacred on May 14, 1980. They interviewed survivors and 
witnesses to the massacre which took place along the Sumpul River
at the Honduran border with El Salvador. Members of the 
Commission include former Colombian president Belisario Betancur 
and former Venezuelan foreign minister Reinaldo Figueredo, as 
well as a judge from the Interamerican Court on Human Rights, 
Thomas Buergenthal.

The 600 peasants were killed as they tried to flee from the 
first big operation carried out by the Salvadaron army and 
National Guard at the beginning of the twelve year civil war. The
Honduran army participated in the massacre, which was part of a 
"scorched earth" policy, that is, an attempt to annihilate any 
organized communities along the El Salvador-Honduras border.
