The Uribe temptation by the Economist

We all know that if Uribe runs again for the Presidency he will be elected by a wide margin

http://www.economist.com/world/la/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11053186&m...

Some of the usual left wing PBH posters are not going to like it if it happens, and will go on about criticizing Uribe, despite the fact that every time they visit (or live in) Colombian they benefit from the same Uribe policies that have made the country much safer

I really like Uribe, but i do think he should step down. I just fear the idoits that are lurking in the dark ready to become butt buddies with Chavez once they become president

All right, I'll ask: How come it took three seconds to euthanize Eight Belles, but the Womens NBA is starting Year 12???

One doesn't have to be a leftist to think that continuing to change the constitution to allow repeated re-election is not a sign of a healthy democracy.
