How many amendments to the US Constitution are there?
If altering constitutions is automatically a bad thing would you rescind all of them? To write that this indicates that Uribe intends to maintain power for generations is pure unsubstantiated fantasy. The paramilitaries are considered by most Colombians to have had the support of whichever Colombian president was in power. Not just Uribe. This state/paramilitary co-operation has always been considered to exist. Some say the paramilitaries were started by the government. Should it exist? Of course not! No right minded person would support this behaviour, whether it had support from The United States or not. Narco News has achieved many things but if you are implying that Narco News has broken new ground in establishing this link, you are blowing your own trumpet way to hard. Admirably it continues to report it, but it didn t establish the link!! In relation the differences between the guerrillas and the paramilitary I can make no distinction. They are both funded by undesirable methods
