In this weeks news, Columbia is only receiving foreign aid from the US since most other aid is not being delivered. Why? Everyone else is into economic aid. But the US thinks the solution to Trent Lott, Jesse Helms, Dan Burton drug laws is to ship military aid to Columbia. Under $1billion mostly in 60 assault helicopters.
As a result of this "US war on drugs" - a war that has broken Columbia into three countries - Europe refused to send promise aid. That withholding is by most every major western European country.
Why is 'Traffik' such a revelation to so many?
