Si Dario estamos de acuerdo, cuando este Sr.Myles fue Embajador en
Colombia, lo que hizo fue "enredar la pita",y formar mas problematica, que
resolver problemas, a este Sr. no le veo ningun papel en esta fundacion, en
el desarrollo democratico, ni nada que se le parezca en Colombia, todos los
colombianos tiene un recuerdo nada grato de el, y no veo que pueda hacer el
mencionado Sr, a favor nuestro, mas que buscar nuevos problemas, Que
demonios estaran, tratando de Hacer los gringos en Colombia,
Latinoamerica?? que buena pildora estaran endulzando ahora??...todo esto me
suena.... muy interesante!..
Saludos Manuelita

Si mal no estoy, Myles Frechette fue un embajador estadinense en
Colombia quien no hizo muchos amigos. Y si esto es cierto, me pregunto
que hace esta fundacion tratando de envolverlo en 'desarrollar
democracia en Colombia' ?
Ahora tremenda noticia, me parece a mi, descubrir que latinoamericanos
deberian ser los lideres en el desarrollo de latinoamerica. Parece que
alquien descubrio el agua mojada en Washington DC.
Hace a�os el sentido comun (por lo menos en USA) fue cambiado por grados
universitarios en el area metropolitana en Washington DC. Parece que
lentamente esta volviendo a aparecer esto ya que los libros y grados
universitarios quedan muy cortos ante situaciones de la vida real.
Saludos,
Dario
