Merco Press is reporting today that outgoing Colombian president Alvaro Uribe criticized Tuesday the possibilities of a peace proposal with the Colombian guerrilla groups FARC and ELN and emphasized that Colombia will not fall into the trap of "internationalizing dialogue".  It is nice to see a world leader who understands that you fight evil--you don't negotiate with it.

The article reports:

""We're not going to fall into that trap again. We only demand from the international community that they abide by the agreed international rules we respect: fighting terrorism and offering them no refuge, nowhere", insisted Uribe who next week, on August 7 will be stepping down after eight years in office and as the most popular Colombian leader in decades."

A U.S. - Columbia Trade Promotion Agreement was sent to Congress on April 7, 2007, by President Bush.  It is still not approved.  Congress refuses to admit that President Uribe has made considerable progress in fighting FARC and ELN and is unwilling to ratify that agreement which would help Columbia stand strong against the designs of those terrorists and of Hugo Chavez.  The issue that has prevented Congress from ratifying this agreement has to do with the influence of American unions on the Democrat Congress.

The article at Merco Press concludes:

"President Chavez rejects the "terrorist group" labels for FARC and ELN (imposed by the US and the EU) arguing they are part of the "Bolivarian revolution" combating regional oligarchies.

"He has been in the past and is now again strongly pushing for the "peace dialogue" between the guerrillas and the Colombian government.

"With the guerrillas on the run and virtually no public opinion support, and following some spectacular rescue-coups by Colombian special forces, there is no significant ambiance for such a peace dialogue in the country, according to the latest polls."

Until we learn to call terrorists by their proper name (terrorists) and treat them as such, we will not defeat people who kidnap and kill innocent people.  Thank you, President Uribe, for your steadfastness and your wisdom.
