A Rand Corp. report prepared last summer for the Pentagon calls the Colombian crisis "the most serious security challenge in the Western Hemisphere since the Central American wars of the 1980s." Will the United States help the Colombians save their democratic republic and destroy the narcoterrorist FARC? Or will it continue to keep its hands in its pockets and deny Colombia the intelligence, equipment and training needed to defeat the guerrillas on its own - only to have to send U.S. forces to fight another terrorist regime in the future?***

I don't see any solution to this problems. As long as the U.S. continues to have such a voracious appetite for drugs, the demand will continue.
