This is really deep attitude Mr. Camacho, "not our problem that US citizens are dying in the streets," Don't you have any sense of shame, don't you have any sense dignity. How can you say we don't give a dam about when we spend billions in drug interdiction and drug rehabilitation. We have done something about it even in your own country. We give you aid incessantly, not only in drug related issues but ecenomic ones as well. We also send peace corps volunteer down there to help those people that want to he





lp themselves. It is your corrupt spineless government that permited this disease to spred all over Columbia and Latin America. Even with all this we the United States domestically, has come to the realization that we have failed to eradicate it, that we deserve to give our children better. I mean do you have the Guts to admit your mistakes, NO!

I mean have some guts to admit that your society was permisive towards these inmoral humans, hwen they were just beggining. It is only by recognizing the true sources of the problem will you be able to solve them.

Please for the love of God, take Economics 101, instead of talking caca. Thew reason the IMF ordered Third World countries to slash their budget is because they borrowed money from the IMF. If the Colombian had had sound Fiscal responsability, and less corruption maybe then they wouldn't be in this socalled moral dilema. Profit morever is not inmoral. I don't get you. you want the US to interve, in the drug war in Colombia so we can have a "say", but you don't want the IMF to control deficits of corrupt an





d incompetent governments as yours that squandered money they were lent. You are the contradiction MR. Camacho.

God I really feel sorry  for you. How you can twist issues with this escapist demagogery. Unfortunately you have not learned from your mistakes, for you don't even admit you made mistakes. The reason Mr. Camacho why in the states Presidential Candidates don't get gunned down is that the electorate demands of the public servant to speak out against tyrrany and stupidity before it gets way out of hand like in Colombia. THis is called accountability. But finally Mr. Camacho just because a doctor has never had





 a particular disease, does not mean he can not prescribe the medicine. Think!


Finally I don't know why you lefties are so scared to call yourselves by what you are. Here I'll give you some options, SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST, SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS...Pick and choose. The Democratic Capitalist society has been the most efficient, and equitable system invented by man. It has permited him to enjoy economic freedom and political freedom. This Mr. Camacho is the essence of Humanity: the right to expression. And that is what this system has come close to providing to all. It is not perfect, for no





 system is. But our willingness to accept this fact leads ou closer to perfection.

I really feel sorry for you. For your Arrogance, and for your Ignorance.
