Everyone knows that the rule has assigned to Colombia and President Alvaro Uribe Velez, the sad role of sabotage, halt and eliminate processes that have been taking place in Latin America, especially Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia. With this barbaric act, which violated the sovereignty of Ecuador, was sought to intimidate these countries with blackmail.

The United States, investing in military spending 2% of Gross Domestic Product, the countries of South America are spending 5 times less than Colombia. It means that Colombia is preparing for a war that is not exactly against the insurgency and drug trafficking.
