BOGOTA, (Reuters) – For nearly two terms, Colombian President Alvaro Uribe has been the firm hand his country wanted, taking on leftist guerrillas, locking up hundreds of drug traffickers and attracting more foreign investment.
But on one question even he admits he is wavering: Should he stay or should he go?
Uribe left Colombians scratching their heads on whether he plans to run for re-election next year after he said a third term would be inconvenient, but just an hour later acknowledged he was at a crossroads.
“I have a responsibility with Colombians. When I take in the balance of everything, I find myself at what I call a crossroads of the soul, how difficult,” the president said on Thursday night.
