Uribe--for life

"In Colombia, a referendum to pave the way for Uribe’s reelection still faces hurdles in Congress and already shows signs of fatigue among supporters. Cambio magazine explains that the chances to approve the legislation are slim, even with Uribe spending his political capital to move it forward. But Semana magazine says, “Uribe has radicalized his position about the referendum,” and that he sees it “as a matter of pride.”" Puppets of the US may extend their terms unendingly. Hell, if you are a good loyal puppet of the US, like Husni Mubarak, you get to serve for life and offer the following term after your death to your son--with full US and EU support. (thanks Dale)
