Colombia's Uribe Awaits Decision for Second Term

Fire of Liberty

It seems that Colombian President Alvaro Uribe might have a chance of being able to run for a second term if the legislation of extending the presidential term to two terms - which was passed by the parliament last December - meets Constitutional muster. After some four years of battling the narco terrorists FARC and ELN, the reduction of crime and the continual reduction of Coca fields, Colombia would be lost if this dynamic and proven leader is prevented from running a second term. Luckily, Uribe is a true democrat who respects the rule of law and will abide by the courts decision even if it rules against him. I can assure you Hugo Chavez won't allow an independent judiciary to tell him he can't run again.

Whatever happens, I wish Uribe luck.
