Frank, Thanks for Posting and for your concept

The white powder called COCAINE has produced thousands of deads in Colombia.

Good and Noble policemen, judges, good peasants, etc ..... have been killed because of the greed of the narcos or mafiosos.

Of course many people may have died in the USA because of Cocaine, Morphine and other bad addiction drugs. Many other Americans become Zombies because of drugs.

The best possibility to solve this problem is cooperation, collaboration and drug treatment of the drug abusers. Psychoanalysis may help a little in special cases of intelligent drug abusers but it will never be enough to solve the problem of addiction.

The devastation and deforestation produced in Colombia is horrible. The ENVIRONMENT is destroyed to produce coca or poppies.

More is achieved by cooperation and collaboration than by confrontation. There are some advances in the "War on Drugs".

Unfortunately the Andean FTA will produce more deforestation and more narco drugs.

By impoverishing the peasants and destroying their life with American Cereals heavily subsidized.

The peasant that loses his farm will have no other option but to be recruited by narcos for more deforestation of the Amazon and the Andes. The objective will be the production of narcotics.

The narcos and paramilitary will buy the farms of the displaced and evicted peasants. And dedicate them to big extensive unproductive ranching.

And don't forget that the ruin of Colombia will produce a pressure to emigrate. And that pressure is transitive among social classes. One class impoverishes the next upper class.

Every IMMIGRANT was an Emigrant before saying good-by to his land.
