Colombia

[Jay]

Did anyone read the New York Times article today on Colombia? It was really good, I'd suggest it to anyone who hasn't been following recent events there. As oppossed to the China discussion, I think the Colombian situation should be on everyone's mind. I had to write a paper on it for one of my classes this semester and was really surprised by the entire situation. Id love to get a discussion going and could pass along some good references for anyone looking for a more in depth study.
(Lets try to keep this one an acedemic discussion)
