This article by Mark Bowden (who wrote the excellent book Black Hawk Down on the US misadventure in Somalia) is an excellent discussion of the war that's a-brewin' down Colombia-way. It will be nice for those of us too young for Vietnam to have our own war too protest. And in case you were wondering, Colombia isn't covered with easy to maneuver over desert. No its nice old-fashioned unfriendly -to-Americans jungle.

That's right, we're going to end up in a war over drugs and Marxism. If you don't think that's absurd you probably shouldn't be reading this.
