Colombia President Alvaro Uribe Wins Re-election in a Landslide
Well it looks like we have some stability in Columbian Politics these days as the President seems to have been re-elected by a huge landslide indeed. With all the maneuvering and changes in the political scene in Central and South America and the Caribbean every single election and event it notable.
We see Cuba about ready to pass the torch from Fidel Castro to his sons or a turn over to the people. We Mexico and their elections as President Vincent Fox leaves and a potential Socialist-Communist takes over and we see close ties with Venezuela’s vocal leader. We have seen Bolivia nationalizing businesses too. We see some tension in these nations and some political unrest and crime issues in Brazil too.
Haiti is going to try again with a new temporary leader to get things back to normal; whatever that means considering most people substitute “Haiti” with “hell” when telling their enemies where to go? And in all this we have some volcanic activity, Earthquakes and oh man; here comes the 2006 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Season.
There are indeed many major issues to deal with these days and this Hemisphere is not exactly without issue. The Colombian President re-election landslide is rather an interesting thing considering all the other changes out there? What does it all mean; ah time will tell my friend, time will tell. Consider all this in 2006.
