Colombia Elects Leftist President;

We all hope for the best, but there are very few reasons to expect it.

Colombia has a fabulously diverse population and I also hope they get a chance to change and grow.

Gosh, that's amazing. Thank you, Grany.

You're welcome

I hope America does not interfere and try to destabilize the Government. It would be so interesting to see what could be achieved by a Government that puts the people of the country first, without corruption.

I hope so too

Yet again I am in full agreement M0nica

I think the chances of Columbia ^putting the people of the country first, without corruption^let alone do anything to control the drug barons are as likely as Kim Jung Il embracing capitalism.

Is he going to be able to do anything about the multi millionaire drug barons?

Gosh, that's amazing. Thank you, Grany.

I am with Monica in this.

Venezuela is a basket case with much of its population fleeing to other countries The United Nations Refugee Agency filed the following report: www.unhcr.org/uk/venezuela-emergency.html.

If you think this country is a successful country that Columbia should be proud to be connected with - well it takes all sorts...........
