Whether the drug war should end, whether that would be a good thing for columbia, is a different question. Whether the US will allow the war to end, whether the international community will permit columbia to make those changes, must be determined first. No country live in a vacuum, especially countries so reliant on commodity exports.


The GP claims that Colombia is too addicted to US foreign aid to make a move like this. So I countered that ending internal conflict would greatly decrease the need for that aid.

How do you expect the US to force Colombian domestic policy otherwise?

Also next time you suggest/imply that U.S. has control over another nation's domestic policy, at least spell the country's name correctly.
