Which, coincidentally, helps your FARC terrorist pals.

It's interesting how you break down by years the one anomalous negative statistic of Uribe's amazingly successful time in office. Pretty much every other economic and cultural statistic is trending in a positive direction since he took office and you know it. You lie by omission when you dont mention that.

And the Chavistas take another arrow! I wish I could quote this to
the communist Gerardo Cajamarca:

"Caracas, November 17, 2007 (venezuelanalysis.com) - The International Labor Organization (ILO) denounced the Venezuelan government on Thursday, accusing it of abusing the rights of business owners to freely organize. At the same time, Colombia was praised for its progress in the protection of labor leaders. "
