@Pariz. Nothing has changed in Colombia? So much has changed, the state was in an existential crisis. It now has much firmer authority and even the main rebel group, FARC, is being severely beaten now. Also do you really think it's that easy to stop drug smuggling? Trust me, countries have and are trying.

You are right on each and every point. The thing is that I cannot but center my atention on the fact that US military presence persues not only non specifically to fight down the FARC. Not only that: it helps this rebel groups (which in most cases are anti-colonialism of any type) to gain more support from citizenship.

Yes the US military intervention in Columbia has turned alot of people into America haters. But that sentiment is largely outside Columbia itself. I have met pastors and missionaries who have gone to Columbia and they have told me that their is a very large support group for getting rid of the FARC and the people of Columbia love them.

Frankly who cares what some other countries think of North American's when your helping people. Like standing up to a popular bully, yes the kid is popular and when you stick up for the nerd you may not really be appretiated by the popular persons friends. But the victims sure love you and you show everyone else that you stick up for your ideals.

Hugo Chavez and the other anti-american basterds wouldn't really care if America didn't get involved. They would still find some reason to bash North America, just look at their support of Iran due to the Iraq war. Do you honestly believe that if North American countries and western european countries just stood back and let everything spiral out of control that they would be anymore loved by the rest of the world?

Oh and yes the US is only out to serve its interests but can you honestly name a single country that does not value its own interests more then the rest of the world?

What's NATO?Some brand of milk?

Nato is the North Atlantic Treaty Organistation. Started by United States, Canada, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark and Iceland. Its grown to include many other western nations. Origionally it was founded as a military organisation to prevent any more world wars. Basically it was founded so that in the case of any future conflicts North America, Western Europe parts of the Middle East South America. That all these countries would stand united.

Basically if any of the Nato countries are attacked it is an attack on all of them. They act to defend their nations interests and protect democracy and our ways of life.

You really should know this stuff. It was a major part of my high school social studies class, even alot of talk about it in University.
