A sea-change has occurred in troubled Colombia, as detailed in this
monograph. For the first time in 40 years, cautious optimism
pervades discussions of Bogota's seemingly intractable situation.
Drugs, terrorism, and insurgency continue in their explosive mix,
but the current government of President Alvaro Uribe has fashioned
a counterinsurgency approach that holds the strategic initiative
and has a chance of negating a long-standing security threat to the
state. This is critical if Colombian democratic and economic
advances are to continue. Colombia has become synonymous in the
popular mind with an intractable war waged against
narco-terrorists. Not as understood is the strategic setting,
wherein the illegal drug trade is not just linked to terrorism but
rather is an integral part of a leftwing insurgency that continues
to talk the language of the Cold War. This insurgency is the
greatest threat to Bogota and to Washington's interests in the
region.
