There's a price to be paid for this and Evo will find that out in a few years.
Any enterprising drug producer/trafficker already has contacts in Bolivia and is ready to ramp up production.
We see that Ecuador is paying the price for throwing the yanquis out of Manta and any fool could have predicted it.
Increased pressure on narco gangsters in Colombia means they are operating more and more in Ecuadoran borders regions, Ecuador complains to Colombia who tell them to ([i]more or less[/i]) pound sand. [img]rolleyes.gif" border="0[/img]

Did you ever stop to think why American consumption of narcotics should be Latin America's problem?

By increased pressure do you mean positions in Uribe's government?

When narco traffickers are strangling one's country ([i]which is what was happening in Colombia pre-Uribe[/i]) one quickly finds out what one's priorities are.
It doesn't matter where the drugs are going or the stripe of the producers-[b]all that truly matters is putting the gangsters out of business as quickly and efficiently as possible.[/b]
Canadians especially should appreciate the irony of having those who's county is sucking down the dope and rotting from the inside out because of it pay for the cleanup.
Those of us who travelled to places like Tingo Maria in the Peruvian Amazon in the 70's remember the oppressive atmosphere as narco gangsters took over, 10 years later they had disappeared to greener pastures as FARC organised their once fertile money making rackets all over Colombia.
Now both Peru and Ecuador are seeing the return of the same type of gangsters and Bolivia is next.
You read it here first!

Throughout the forty years of the Cold War, the CIA joined with urban gangsters and rural warlords, many of them major drug dealers, to mount covert operations against communists around the globe. In one of history's accidents, the Iron Curtain fell along the border of the Asian opium zone, which stretches across 5,000 miles of mountains from Turkey to Thailand. In Burma during the 1950s, in Laos during the 1970s, and in Afghanistan during the 1980s, the CIA allied with highland warlords to mobilize tribal armies against the Soviet Union and China.

The CIA(aka taxpayer-funded dope delivery service) has always wanted a return of Cuba and Haiti to the mafia and drug barons and to use those island nations as conduits for running drugs from South and Central America to the U.S.

Well Fidel that certainly is an interesting post-ancient long disproved rumours coupled with outright falsehoods and chronic paranoia!

Oh sure, they knew Webb was on to something when every corporate-sponsored newspaper in the U.S. attacked him for the San Jose Mercury News piece. Then people like Freeway Ricky Ross started to talk.
