		The government continued to depend on entrepreneurial efforts and private capital (both foreign and domestic) as the sources of economic growth and limited its domestic role to coordinating fiscal and monetary policy, providing for public sector and infrastructure development, and establishing a political environment conducive to investment and industrial development.
		Colombia's economic growth in the late 1980s resulted from the prudent development and use of the nation's economic endowments, as well as the existence of highly favorable external circumstances.
		Finally, the infamous drug trade, which was partially responsible for Colombia's economic growth during the 1970s and 1980s, caused numerous socioeconomic problems, not the least of which was that the political and economic power of narcotics traffickers rivaled that of the national government.

	Elite Sit on the Sidelines as Colombia Struggles - Council on Foreign Relations
		And further helping Colombia's counterinsurgency without first insisting that the country's political and financial elite begin to take an active role in saving their country would be a recipe for warlordism and more violence in rural Colombia.
		In Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, for example, it's evident that as important as the good governance of state and private institutions is, the intentions and actions of the elites often set the political tone of a nation.
		But Colombia's equivalent of the Drug Enforcement Administration, which is charged with managing and redistributing the assets, is beset by patronage and bureaucratic inertia.

		Foreign aid has been unpopular in recent years, but experts say the global campaign against terrorism has reinforced the view among U.S. politicians and the public that economic and military aid to other countries is both a moral obligation and a useful foreign policy tool.
		After steady cutbacks in the 1990s, the United States is pledging to increase humanitarian and development aid abroad, as well as stepping up economic and military support to new strategic partners in the war on terrorism.
		According to the poll’s findings, the typical American would like to spend $1 on foreign aid for every $3 spent on defense; the real ratio in the proposed budget for fiscal year 2003 is $1 on aid for every $19 spent on defense.

		In their search for grounds to compel Ireland's extradition of the trio, Colombia's lawyers have even gone all the way back to a 1888 treaty with the United Kingdom, of which Ireland was a part at the time, reports The Sunday Times of Ireland.

		The dispute arose after Colombia acknowledged it paid a bounty to have Rodrigo Granda, a top member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, captured in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, last month and taken to the Colombian border, where he was arrested.
		Also Monday, Assistant Foreign Secretary Patricia Olamendi said Mexico should discuss the possibility of serving on peacekeeping missions, a step that would break with decades of strict noninterventionist philosophy.
