So, we will see soon if the brave move of president Uribe of killing Raul Reyes within Ecuador border has been a wise one.
But for now, people are putting down the party glasses that they held up yesterday and begin to worry about the consequences...

Amen Goin South....all is getting blown out of proportion. The president of Ecuador was briefed before this happened, then all of a sudden changed face. We all know by whom he was influenced by and has been influenced by ever since the elections there. The only thing Ecuador has major complaints about is the over flights of the spraying and the killing off of viable agriculture.
In the future, who knows...Down the road, Chevez remains in office, we can only hope Colombia does not become sandwiched for the shit head's political agenda sparking some type of border conflict! Sign me up....

That makes me wonder what the age and citizenship requirements would be for joining the Colombian armed forces?

El Tiempo should not be putting the picture of Raúl Reyes on the news all the time, what is done is done, not need to go overboard with the pictures of a death criminal, El Tiempo is acting like a "pasquin".

Those pictures only reminds the world about the "intromision" of Colombia in Ecuador´s borders, if any.

People from Venezuela need to clean up Mr. Chavez act before it is late.

what about the 'intromision' of FARC into Ecuador's borders?

That is right but illegal drugs and its users made things unmanageable

podborski says on Mar 2, 13:06:

I understand the sentiment of wanting to defend your country, but when you sit and think about it, you'd be going to try and kill some 20 yr old Venezuelan kids who don't even want to be there, all to satisfy the hurt feelings of Chavez the megalomaniac, who is the real problem.

ColombianoGringo says on Mar 2, 13:07:

"That is right but illegal drugs and its users made things unmanageable"

Yep. Let's never forget that all the gringo and euro coke fiends are the ones ultimately financing this whole mess. I'm not saying that coca started Colombia's problems, but it certainly made them so "unmanageable". We would not need a Plan Colombia if billions in drug money weren't making there way into the farc's coffers.

Union Europea
Union Latinoamericana ?

If Uribe and Chavez got issues to be worked on, France and Germany do too.
