Why is being an enemy of the US in Latin America a bad thing?
Because the United States can help us with Democracy and Freedom

It is extremely important that Americans understand why the US still counts in Latin America and that the subcontinent should be defended from Chavez. And also that Americans understand that their best ally in Latin America, Colombia, deserves to be defended from that perverted Madman.

Why is being an enemy of the US in Latin America a bad thing? Aren't most opponents of CAFTA and the like enemies of the current US ruling elite? The current government of the US has all but declared war on its own citizens as well.
I know that he has been accused of helping FARC, but mainly by people who have very self-interested motives.
The people in Venezuela he is arming seem to be mainly poor people who don't want their country invaded by the US, which in light of the coup a few years ago would appear to be a real possibility that he has to plan for.
The FARC Guerrillas of Colombia are killers of children and women. They are the worst thugs in the whole world. I know of no other country with such perverts and depraved sadists.
They have sown the fields of Colombia with land mines that kill or main children every day. Many children without legs and in crutches.
The FARC is superterrorist and coward, very fond of using bombs against innocent civilians.
They are 100 times more depraved than the Paramilitary. Even if the last guys are also murderous. But not so perverted.
The FARC has three American Citizens kidnapped for the last two years or more. Poor Guys, I hope they are not forgotten, and also thousands of Colombian hostages for ransom.
They ask ransoms several times for the same hostage, and ransom for the corpse after they murder the kidnapped victim. They also kidnap children for ransom.
****************
Chavez has helped the Guerrillas in every possible aspect, with diplomacy, with verbal enocuragement, harboring the FARC terrorists as guests, etc ...
Chavez does not like Democracy, Liberty, Freedom, Free Press, Private Initiative, etc ...
He hates the USA, he has squandered 10 Marshall Plants. ( Big Oil Prices )
I can prove that Colombia has More Healthy Private Business than Venezuela. There are serious studies from American Big Banks.
Colombia has a better Economic Future than Venezuela. The Colombian Private Corporations are bigger and more competitive internationally. From the 100 biggest Andean Corporations 45 are Colombian and Venezuela has only Big State Monopolies to show in that honor list.
Venezuelan Oil has been useless for the poor. Colombia is getting ahead of Venezuela because of Capitalism and Freedom.
The Poor Country will become Rich, the Rich ( Oil ) Country will become poorer and poorer.
Even in the Middle of Civil War Colombia is prosperous in sound and healthy private business, private initiative, private individuals without governmente interference or subsidies. Exactly the opposite of Venezuela. I have data from American Banks and Serious Studies.
The US dollar constantly collapses in Colombia and the government has bought 5 billion dollars to stop the dollar's fall. That is also caused by international investors buying Colombian Business. In August Colombia bought 1 billion dollars to stop the crisis and avoid the peso having such exaggerated value. The dollar fell 25% and has not recovered a single 1% after such horrible efforts of a super poor country. ( We are not an oil ocean like Venezuela, Arabia or Iraq ).
But Colombia needs to be defended from the Madman that gives support to the FARC.
If a meteorite destroys America then Chavez will invade Colombia Next Day.

Natural Glenn :
Thanks for post. Friend !!
Be cheerful. You Americans invented cheerleading !!
Be optimistic. All problems have solutions. The United States is not going to sink. Colombia is not going to sink.
In fact there is some prosperity now in Colombia as I told you before.
It is a good idea that our two countries be friends and not enemies.
We gain a lot by being friends.
The fact that I am opposed to the Andean FTA as it stands now does not mean that I hate Americans or that I don't like you. In fact I admire you.
My opposition is a matter of business and money. I wouldn't sign economic and political harm to Colombia.
The Andean FTA is a poor business deal for Colombia. We can do better elsewhere with other customers or partners.
It is all that simple.
