Santo Domingo.– Venezuela president Hugo Chavez today asked Alvaro Uribe, president of Colombia, to set aside their differences and work together for peace-
´´Let us move far away from war and work for peace,´´ he said, after denying funding the FARC guerrilla.
FILE.- Ecuador President Rafael Correa began his turn at the Rio Group Summit calling the crisis a "gravely serious problem facing the latin american region," but fernandez stopped him short and suggested inestead a vote on allowing new members.
"The region lives an situation of extremely serious emergency and must be dealt with at length," he said and began showing maps of Colombia´s military incursions.

Leonel let Uribe sweet talk him.
oooo
Maybe you're right. At least, this is what everybody is saying.
But I believe that Uribe's undeserved sucsess at the Rio Summit inflames his conceit and assures further aggression against Latin American countries by Colombia on behalf of the US imperialism, using the same pretext of "self-defense."
But perhaps Leonel did as well as anybody else in the world under the circumstances.
I may have hoped for a miracle, that is, a violation of a law of nature.
Nature won lamentably.

The big deal is that Israel does it.
Israeli territorial expansionism is an evil thing.
"In an article published a few hours after the conclusion of the Rio Group Summit, the historic leader [Fidel] of the Cuban Revolution noted the fact that the debate did not take place within the OAS and, most importantly, US diplomats were not in attendance."

Imperialist running dogs and quislings of the GOP barbarians are not exactly pleased by this historic precedent of excluding US imperialists from discussions and deliberations on a regional crisis of overriding importance.
Such a show of self-determination and independence from the hegemony and supervision of US imperialists has never attracted such high level and general participation from the countries of the region.
