1989 will be remembered forever in history books as the year, when the Berlin wall came down. `Cause of this revolutionary event and his results, it´s almost forgotten what happened in other parts of the world at the same time.
In Colombia, for example, the so called „drug war“ has been on his heights. Responsible for this, as the majority will respond, has been solely one person: Pablo Escobar, the „patrón“ of the Medellín Cartel. A namesake, who c...
