The civil war in Colombia has become Latin America's worst conflict since the Central American wars of the 1980s. It is leading to heavy casualties, numerous atrocities and a growing dilemma for US policy-makers over whether to grant Bogotá aid for counter-insurgency operations. Both the Communist rebels and anti-Communist paramilitaries are closely linked to the drugs trade, raising the risk that the country will effectively disintegrate into warring narco-fiefdoms.
