México. - The war contra revolutionary had its origin in the French School, and after losing in Dien Bien Phu, it was applied by the Gallic army in Algeria. It is based on the dirty war, expression coined in 1948 for French officers in Indochina, where they applied tortures that they were not envying anything to those of the Gestapo, German. The methods of the dirty war were including tasks of intelligence, the psychological action, upon institutionalizing the torture, extrajudicial executions and the mandatory disappearance. And massive of "enemies", according to the technique inaugurated by Adolf Hitler with his decree "night and fog", of 1941.

Those methodologies were executed by clandestine commands of the army, what at the same time was requiring of a justice to the measure of the soldiers and own laws of an exception state; ergus, the subordination of the civil authority to the power military. Imported by John F. Kennedy (JFK). The apostle of the war contra revolutionary JFK, will be extended to all Latin America, and of the hand of the National Security Doctrine (NSD), the instruction handbooks of the CIA and the squadrons of the death, directed from Washington by the state Secretary Henry Kissinger.

In the context of a dirty war contra insurgent that has already more than four decades in Colombia, the Democratic Security policy of (Álvaro Uribe, which pursues a solution to fight to a political conflict - economic, it has used the systematical lie as war weapon (Goebbels). A modality of the military terrorism and mediatic, it is what in that country is known "falso positivo". In practice, that reported policy as a result positive of the governmental action against illegal groups, it has implicating an increase of the extrajudicial executions of civil not combatant on the part of army, that then they are presented as guerrillas "died in combat".

The assassination of civil innocent (thousand 800, according to the UN, mainly poor peasant youths) as practical to inflate them numbers of decreases caused to the "enemy" (body count) serves to measure the progress of the struggle against the guerrilla. That modality incentivizes the violations to the human rights and it is used by official of the army that try to fulfilling their "quota" to impress to their hierarchic superiors and to obtain ascent. It is bound to the remunerations system, permits and facilities economic that establishes the Democratic Security Program of Uribe.

In the framework of the second phase of the Plan Mexico (Initiative Merida) and of the "war" of Calderon against a functional and diffuse enemy, it has been increased to trigger it of paramilitary groups and of social cleanliness, that in key of contra insurgency have had a high balance of civil victims (29 in April). Mexican deaths minimized by Calderon and presented by the secretary of the Defense, general Guillermo Galvan, as "collateral damages" of an irregular urban war against the delinquency. Provided that by the condition class of the victims, their ownership to lineage institutions or by their high visibility mediatic, is not arrived to de-codify and to exhibit the principal premise of the regime: all the dead are "assassins" or "racketeers" until is demonstrated the contrary, code Napoleonic.

Perspectives of the government of Colombia
The exit of Alvaro Uribe Velez of the Palace of Nariño to the transition of Juan Manuel Santos as president of Colombia is by itself a good news by the tensions that they had been configured in recent months with their homologous Hugo Chavez, president from Venezuela. The one which belligerency strutted Uribe his antecedent was a risk factor in South America and a constant threat to the neighbors, such as: Ecuador and Venezuela. The outline discursive that presented Santos - that was presented as "diplomatic" before that "soldier"- represents a positive gesture. It can not be happened by outstanding that the new mandatory represents a political class that it is responsible for the violence that affects to Colombia, and of the growing tensions with their neighboring nations.

The current governing drags a great responsibility by the case of the calls "falsos positivos". In how much makes to the external area, it can not be omitted that Santos performance a central paper, being Defense minister of Uribe, in the bombardment to the locality of Sucumbíos, in Ecuador, in the one which died the rebellious leader Raul Reyes in March of 2009, as well as in the subscription of the agreement by the one which endorsed the establishment of United States military bases in their territory, measure that it is, until today a principal component of the dissatisfaction and the distrust of the neighboring nations toward the government of Bogota.

Finally, to achieve the full rights force in Colombia and re-dimensional the projection of that country before the region and front to the world. The current governing of Colombia will have to adopt measured much more deep and transcendent that the drawn yesterday in his investiture speech, and if chance the most complex, consists of be detached of the ideological inheritance, political and social of his antecedent.
