Once again, Bravo Colombia!

It is so wonderful to see Colombians all over the world celebrate their Independence!

How many of us in the USA after all, know that Colombia is not just our staunchest ally in Latin America (-and historically, not just recently), but that Colombia is also the oldest democracy in the world after the USA?

It is time for Americans to discover our wonderful neighbors to the south, a nation that offers the best health care in the Americas (according to the W.H.O.), who invented the pace-Maker of the Heart, Lasik surgery, etc, etc.

Bust most importantly, a progressive nation zealously protecting its democratic institutions with the best-ran financial and banking system in Latin America (-whose currency has never devalued).

Those of us who are USA-Americans owe a debt of gratitude to Colombia’s courageous president Alvaro Uribe and his Armed Forces, who despite the massive campaign of disinformation abroad about him / them promulgated by the FARC-terrorists, has liberated our hostages, and made our hemisphere a safer one from the criminals. It is so sad to see some members of our Congress believe the lies of the FARC-paid lobbyists in the USA, who are hard at torpedoing our Free Trade Agreement with Colombia. Heck, with the Colombian economy doing so well over the past years, such an agreement would probably help us more than them. In any case, let us join our Colombians allies today in our hearts, as one nation together demanding the freedom of all the hostages!
