Columbia Support Network A project of the Institute for Global Communications, the Columbia Support Network is warning the public of increasing US involvement in Colombia's civil war, a situation that reminds us increasingly of how the US got tangled in the Vietnam war. Now is the time to act, because Congress is discussing plans to increase US participation in the Colombian War.

Presidential candidates Al Gore and G. W. Bush have personal interests that might lead them to make Cocaine Decisions which could bring the US deeper into the war. |
