Mr. President. at a time when we are focused on the chaos in Iraq and the flood of Iraqis who have fled their homes and are living either as displaced persons in Iraq or as refugees in Jordan. Syria and elsewhere. I want to call attention to a humanitarian crisis in our own hemisphere. In Colombia. a country of roughly 44 million people. over 3 million have been internally displaced as a result of political and drugrelated violence and the aerial spraying of chemical herbicides to eradicate coca. They are the second largest displaced population in the world after Darfur.
