One image from Bush’s recent trip to Colombia which perhaps most accurately portrays the relationship between the U.S. and Colombia,

shows a U.S. Secret Service agent frisking a Colombian cadet in the honor guard that was about to welcome Bush and his party to Bogota.

Another image taken later that day depicts Uribe with his hand over his heart during the playing of the U.S. national anthem. Two images which highlight the humiliating extent to which Colombia has been reduced to a stooge of the George W. Bush and previous U.S. administrations.
