War: Overlooked Colombia
Posted by kallahar on Jan.10.02 at 09:04 am PST.

kallahar writes CNN is running a story about the 38 year civil war in Colombia. Considering that Afghanistan has only had 20 years of civil war, Colombia should be getting more press, it seems. "Roughly 3,500 people are killed every year in Colombia's civil war, which pits the FARC and a smaller rebel group against government forces and an illegal right-wing paramilitary group." and "Washington supports the Colombian military with a billion-dollar aid package aimed at improving the government's ability to combat drug trafficking."
