However, such a defeat would have special meaning for the survival of Castro's Cuban government. Especially if, as seems likely, the next US administration is Republican. Castro's Cuban government is seemingly quite aware of this and is using large proportion of its propaganda machine's resources to defend Milosevic. While there is no way that the Cuban government can bring pressure to bear in Europe, this is not true of Latin America. One important pressure point in Latin America is the Colombian/Panama border. Colombia has always held a claim on Panama, since Panama seceded from Colombia at the turn of the last century. Many elements in the expanding and seemingly winning Colombian guerrilla movements view the Cuban government's needs as very close to their own. Thus given the withdrawal of US military presence in Panama, it is very possible that these guerrilla movements will push into the southern part of the Isthmus, south of the Canal and attempt to draw US forces into jungle warfare. Already military activity in the area is driving Colombian civilians into Panama ----------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE COLEXT in the BODY of the message.
