ONE OF THE KEY FRONTS ON WHICH WE'RE WINNING THE WoT:

A Latin leader set to defy leftist trend: Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe looks likely to win reelection Sunday. (Danna Harman, 5/26/06, The Christian Science Monitor)

The slight, bespectacled yoga enthusiast with an amateur historian's interest in the US Civil War (he knows the Gettysburg Address by heart) is expected to be reelected here Sunday. Uribe has more than 57 percent support, enough to win elections in the first round, according to the Napoleón Franco Group, a polling firm here. [...]

"Uribe is a remarkable leader," says Michael Shifter, vice president of the InterAmerican Dialogue, a think tank in Washington, D.C. "He has an acute sense of what the people want, and despite continuing, serious problems, has made real progress on the security front."
