10. LOL -- So Chavez is "soft on crime"? How strange for a so-called despot
Funny how you must have missed these other statistics about Colombia which are much more damning:

BBC: 4 million Colombians displaced, second-most displaced nation in the world
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8014085.stm

Quote: "Whatever the actual figures, it is clear that two Colombias are developing under President Alvaro Uribe, says the BBC's Jeremy McDermott in Medellin.
Towns and cities, where the majority of Colombians live, have become safer under his administration, with murders and kidnappings down. But in rural areas,
where most of the displacement takes place, the situation is as bad, or perhaps worse,

Why isn't Alvaro Uribe a household name like Chavez? Who do you think is more bloody?

I know I won't get an answer.
