I do have a question though: in the last few weeks, I have seen or heard a story about France hiding intelligence they have had about AQ being active in France, up to and including the manufacturing and distribution of ricin; did I hear that on THC in one of those Saddam documentaries?
Or did I hear that guy Monsour on Fox say that.
If anybody knows.
It was pretty good - it will be on again.
I figured this would turn into the typcial arguments, but it should be pointed out that Colombia was already destabilized when Escobar was a young man - due to Castro and Guevera who encouraged peasants uprisings. The culture of violence was ripe for the rise of Escobar.
If we would simply seal our borders, a lot of this could be nipped in the bud (along with all of our illegal aliens). But since we have not even after 9-11, I am not optomistic.
