The intimate relationship between narcotrafficking and the State
The return of ethics as a response to the everlasting dispute over interests
Hugo Chávez needs the FARC for his carom shot on the great Bolivarian homeland table, which includes Colombian territory. Álvaro Uribe has reasons to confront Chávez and to line up behind him the national unit of Colombians that are being held in check and offended from both the inside and the outside.

It tells the true story (albeit with fictional touches) of Frank Lucas, a black boy from Harlem who, towards the end of the 60s, came to be a prosperous member of the
This is how the Vietnam War comes to be an incentive to trace the routes of the profitable drug ring. And the instrument that permits this to happen is the American army itself, whose planes carry soldiers and arms to the faraway battles of
This is how American Gangster reveals itself to be an extraordinary documentary for us, because it explains the origins of the much more current wars and conflicts, like those in Afghanistan and Iraq and, particularly now, Colombia and Venezuela, regarding the FARC hostage crisis and the increase in opposition to the presidents Álvaro Uribe and Hugo Chávez.
THE FLOW OF RELATIONS
The interests that are involved here transcend all Manichaean simplification and force the revision of schematic explanations, such as the one that attempts to reduce the matter to a fight between representatives of the law and criminal hit men (which it also is, of course, but it is not quite as simple as that).

What on one hand involves games of confrontation and antagonism, involves on the other hand simultaneous games of collusion of interests among opposing players, but with reciprocal benefits: I need you to finance my battles and obtain support against you. Hugo Chávez needs the FARC for his carom shot on the great Bolivarian homeland table, which includes Colombian territory. Álvaro Uribe has reasons to confront Chávez and to line up behind him the national unit of Colombians that are being held in check and offended from both the inside and the outside.
And one more thing: the American contribution to the denominated Colombia Plan to fight narcotrafficking is estimated to be in the range of 500 million dollars annually, a rough figure similar (according to what the specialists indicate) to what the trafficking brings in as regalia for the exportation of cocaine to the North, including the American consumers.
CLARA ROJAS AND CONSUELO GONZÁLEZ
In the last few weeks, however, something different has occurred. Another story has arisen, that of Clara Rojas and Consuelo González, hostages liberated along with Emmanuel, the son of the former who was born in captivity. These are the greatest points of reference for an international movement to demand freedom for the hundreds of kidnapped people in the FARC’s hands.
Perhaps this is the beginning of another chapter in which the mobilized civil societies are those that impose the terms and conditions, with the men of war, the drug barons and their henchmen and watchmen taking part in it no more.
