I was glad to hear Miguel Perez on Laura Ingraham's show today. Miguel brought out important facts that need to make people think. For example, that Chavez has paid millions to FARC, helping to fund this terrorist organization, and the 1000's of families in Colombia who have lost family members to these terrorists. I hope the US will lend support to Colombia, a country fighting for democracy in Latinoamerica. If people are so enthusiastic about Hugo Chavez and the Castro family in Cuba, maybe they should try living in a country with a dictator for a while and try to make an honest living there. Thank you Miguel for speaking out and we want to hear more on this subject!

Colombia's military assault violated Ecuador's sovereignty. If Colombia felt it needed to conduct a military operation on Ecuadoran soil it needed to do so with Ecuador's permission. Are you actually saying that it's OK to violate the sovereignty of another country when you feel like it? Sounds like Bush and look what that mentality has done the the US. I guess Colombia is taking the US and Turkey's approach to international dispute resolution. Of course Venezuela had something to say! It borders Colombia. I'm sure all of Colombia's bordering neighbors are nervous about Colombia's action, since it basically demonstrates a lack of respect for its neighbors territorial rights. I love your declaration that Colombia is a democratic country considering that it is well-known to anyone interested in Colombia's domestic politics that the drug economy funds its successful political campaigners and those independent minds who actually reach office are thereafter murdered! Your use of the term terrorist to describe FARC soldiers is totally in line with US government sentiments but for Colombians it is not so easy to categorize FARC as terrorists when democracy, freedom of speech, human rights and trade unions are targeted by the alternative AUC.
