Colombia's ambassador to the United States is criticizing Bruce Willis for comments he made during a press conference to promote his new film, "16 Blocks."
The actor said the United States should consider "going to Colombia and doing whatever it takes to end the cocaine trade."
In a harshly worded letter made public, Andres Pastrana told the actor that the source of the lucrative cocaine trade was an "enormous appetite for drugs, in particular in the United States and Europe."
Pastrana, who as president in 2000 launched an anti-drug effort with billions in aid from the United States, added that no country has sacrificed more than his own to rein in drug trafficking. Every year, he said, thousands of innocent civilians are killed as a result of anti-drug efforts.
Inviting Willis to visit Colombia, Pastrana said "if you accept, you will see that, beyond Hollywood cliches, 44 million Colombians are waging a real war against drugs."
President Alvaro Uribe called the actor arrogant and ignorant last week, saying his comments were "a shock to Colombia's dignity."
I think it may be a wise idea to know how to spell the name of a country BEFORE you think about an invasion.
Then what's the problem with helping them, like Willis says, Mr. Ambassador?
More like mass suicide, then mass murder. Who forces the crap up their noses? The coke kills plenty of them &/or someone else eventually anyway. This would just speed up the process, while sparing the innnocents.
My point is that most Americans have been neutered when it comes to taking defensive action.
When the law abandons it's obligation, then it's up to a citizen militia to protect society.
Whether it's border security, drugs, neighborhood crime or even eliminating Canada Geese from our parks......government has failed.
In my grandfather's time.....a bunch of citizens would have loaded up their shotguns and marched over to the park and eliminated the goose problem in an hour.
Now the towns flitter over what to do and end up doing nothing.
"My plan would take care of the drug problem at the source and at the demand.....
Poison 10% of the market and watch the addicts drop like flies and the r&r users dry up.
I will not shed tears."
That has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I would be ashamed to be assciated with you if I knew you.
"I have never used drugs and I don't give a damn about anyone who does!!"
"I'm a certain way, and death to anyone who is not the same way..." lets see.. where have I heard that before?
Nope......suicide is a choice...not a calling.
I thought he was in there already....
Heart bleed much?
and his sidekick Ding.
I could tell you yes or no, but then I'd have to kill you.
LOL!
Hey you know the rules! Wheres the pictures of Bruce?
Wheres the pictures of Bruce?
Not that Bruce!
Now you went from bad to worse....just one lil ol pic of Bruce Willis (without a shirt on) thats all I'm asking.
Sorry, half-naked dudes don't do it for me.
Lifes not all about you, its all about me....now pretty please?
