POPSYet Another Reason for Alternative Energy It amazes me when Bush talks about how committed he is to national security - with middle east countries being the biggest targets - but does nothing to reduce our reliance on oil. Bush continues to rely on countries he considers part of his "axis of evil" when he does nothing to further research into alternative domestic energy sources. His answer - let's try to drill for more oil here while maintaining a military presence in the middle east that's costing this country billions and ultimately trillions of dollars. No dumb ass, if you invested even a tiny portion of what you've spent on "securing" Iraq, on a domestic alternative energy policy, we wouldn't be in the economic trouble we're in today.

POPSFARC Hostage Ingrid Betancourt Freed But in becoming so famous, the 46-year-old Ms. Betancourt also became more valuable to the FARC, which was feeling the heat from the government under U.S.-ally President Álvaro Uribe (who, it so happened, hosted Sen. John McCain on Tuesday). FARC funds itself largely through drug trafficking and kidnapping, but despite such activities had found a friend in Hugo Chávez. The Venezuelan president and FARC had sought to use the selective release of hostages to get governments allied with him, such as Ecuador and Nicaragua, to grant the group diplomatic recognition -- a move that, if followed by other countries in the region, would undermine the Colombian government's offensive against the FARC and by extension U.S. influence in the region. Mr. Chavez had declared his motives to be purely humanitarian; but, in any event, it is the Colombian military that has now done the selective releasing.

POPSToo Late For Pelosi?
Make no mistake: Latin American leaders will take notice. There is currently an ideological struggle raging across the region. While the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, tries to export his populist-authoritarian "revolution" — he has found eager clients in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Nicaragua — Colombia continues to show that democracy and free markets offer the best path to economic and social progress. Until a few years ago, the narco-terrorists appeared to be gaining ground and pushing Colombian democracy toward the point of collapse. Bogotá, Medellín, and other cities were being ripped apart by chaos and violence. But thanks to the resilience of the Colombian people, huge amounts of American aid money, and, most critically, the courageous leadership of the president of Colombia, Álvaro Uribe, the country has begun to turn the tide in its decades-long battle. This is the only approach that can yield sustainable results in the quest for democratic and social improvement.
