Down the Slippery, Snowy Slopes of Colombia We Go
Abstract
As one might expect in equatorial Colombia, it is not the cold, wet kind of snow that is scattered about the Andes Mountains it is cocaine. But the United States could find out that the footing in Colombia is every bit as slippery. America has many important national issues with Colombia; however, the singular threat to American vital interests is the one posed by illicit drugs that originate in Colombia. The United States has crafted a new, comprehensive, and appropriate strategy to address the unique threat of illegal drugs, and this paper will examine whether that strategy is the proper one. The next few years, during which that strategy reaches full operational stride, are critical in determining whether the strategy should be continued or considered for replacement.
