A relatively peaceful and stable ally - albaby

--------------

I take it you did not read that analysis of Colombia's political landscape that I lonked the other day. That was the one where I coined the summary description of the situation in Colombia as a "prickly tangle" suggesting it would require a long term outside force to establish order, not US we learned about the futility of nation building in Afghanistan. Perhaps you remember and no big deal if you don't...

I just don't accept the premise of "peaceful and stable". There is nothing stable about that country that I can find evidence of. Corruption and cartels and crime are scaring the bejesus out of the entire civilian population is what our partners governance looks like to me. That's all.
