Colombia is being isolated by the rest of Southamerican countries; ALL are part of Latinamerican left. Nestor Kirchner as the head honcho of UNASUR ;thanks to the Uruguayan vote by tupamaro Mujica; its taking over Brazil's leadership. Reality is that Argentina’s play is getting ahead as Southamerica’s leader. Old, weak and retiring Lula will create a leading& power void. Colombia is being cornered to allow Chavez alias Simon Bolivar to keep running the FARCS.

As of July 30, only 5 countries have even ratified the “charter” of UNASUR (Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana, Venezuela, and Argentina). It is a 12 member group, so it appears that it still has a way to go before it is really anything!
