Taking lessons from Uribe
Former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe is lecturing at Georgetown University. However not everybody is happy about it. Protesters gathered in front of the university to remind them that Uribe was responsible for the murders of many Colombians. Arturo Viscarra, a researcher on Latin American affairs who was at the protest said the mix of supporters and protestors exemplified the divide over Uribe. He argued that this has provided a great opportunity for people to debate Uribe's record and open dialogue that may otherwise not been available. However Viscarra said it is still questionable whether or not Uribe was an appropriate choice for this position.
