Wake up South America since August 7, 2010 to take over as the new president-elect of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos, a very dark and continuation of the policies dell'uscente President Alvaro Uribe .
I'll tell you a little 'Alice: Alvaro Uribe, the narco-para-politician, is known for its numerous human rights violations during his tenure, for cases of false positives (innocent people killed guerrillas and declared, in order to show good results in combating the FARC!); for his links with drug trafficking and with Pablo Escobar, for the tenth anniversary report - documented - with paramilitary groups, for espionage by the DAS (Administrative Security Department) of many people, including opposition politicians, journalists, judges of the Supreme Court, and even officials the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, for the purchase of votes to amend the Constitution running to be re-elected and therefore not lose immunity, etc, etc, etc. ... in short, a dark character of the oligarchy Continental (the oligarchy more conservative wing which is being strengthened throughout the continent, in proportion to the advance of the revolutionary-democratic governments).
And Santos is not much better. He also tied to many of these accusations as a close associate of Uribe, is particularly known for being a warmonger. Strong supporter of "Plan Colombia" (born in 1999 to combat drug trafficking, but in reality an instrument of military domination of Colombia as much of the continent by the United States. See fact the "Plan Control del Sur", the first of which is not that the pilot plan) he was acting as Minister of Defence of the Uribe government to promote the agreement that provides for the creation of seven new U.S. military bases in Colombian territory, which is seen as a threat dall'UNASUR (Union of South American Nations). Fidel Castro on this issue, which may please or not, as the undisputed expert on the history and the geopolitics of Continental, said that while people worried about the coup in Honduras, the U.S. is prepared (through the Colombia) the new Vietnam continental South America. And 'this, according to Castro, we should be more worried. Personally, dear Alice, I can only agree with him.
An exhibition of the warmongering policy of Santos came when March 1, 2008, as Minister of Defense, gave the launched Operation Fenix, or attacking a FARC camp in Ecuadorian territory, where 26 people were killed, including the number two Raul Reyes of FARC, all in violation of international law and territorial sovereignty of the neighboring country. Here, too, were involved in the U.S.. This led to an increase in tension and Ecuador had to break diplomatic relations while Venezuela mobilized its troops to the border. Venezuela is attacked for years by the narco-para-politics of Uribe and Santos (Colombia Venezuela relations are, however, another long chapter) and are not willing to accept the Colombian military aggression to a friendly government. Santos (now called opinion by Justice in Ecuador), stated during the election campaign, they are still proud of this operation military.
Many experts say that geopolitical the Colombia is the U.S. arm of the continent (eg. Their army has 500,000 effective for a population of 45 million! - the whole of Brazil has 300,000 with 190 million people - while military spending account for 3% of GDP, not counting the huge sums of Plan Colombia, and seven U.S. military bases !!!). Some speak in fact of Israel South America. Now that Santos will take power, it has a lot of fear about his intentions and his warmongering ways. The worst scenario is that of a fact that Santos again violates the territorial sovereignty of Ecuador, forcing them to go to war (they have declared that the next time it would have been casus belli, and that Santos and the U.S. are well aware, precisely!). If so is likely to defend Venezuela Ecuador, venendosi creates a conflict without end, in one way or another involve the interior of the continent.
UNASUR has recently been shown to have made progress in regional integration, but is not prepared for such an eventuality. His reaction is merely a political convictions. You risk an irreparable rift in the short term within the body between the positions of the Member States.
Alice Sure, I know that I place myself in the worst scenario, and I hope that this does not occur. But I have reasons. Anyway, what is certain is that Santos is a huge shadow of doubt and fear, both for the continent as for Colombia itself. I hope, however, be wrong.
