Colombian ambassador writes letter to Bruce Willys

Colombian ambassador writes letter to Bruce Willys

'El Tiempo' (Colombia's leading newspaper) reported that Mr. Willys had made some strong comments about Colombia, in an interview for his upcoming movie '16 blocks'. It seems he said that the U.S. should invade Colombia and do 'whatever it takes' to stop drugs traffic. I was unable to confirm this story, since i can't find a single link about it on the Internet (?).

Now, Andres Pastrana (Colombian Ambassador in the U.S. and ex-president, famous for his failed talks with F.A.R.C, among other embarassing things....) has written a letter to Willys, basically inviting him over to show him that 'more than 44 million Colombians fight drugs every day' and that consumption as well production need to be solved, if the war on drugs is to be won.

This is a stupid story but funny still. As a kid, i watched all of Mr. Willy's movies and now.... seeing your childhood heroes act like right-wing ignorant idiots... i feel a bit stupid for liking those movies to being with. I recently re watched 'Commando' with mr. Arnold. talk about single-minded, ridiculous stereotypes....

ANNNnnnnnyway.... this is the link to the letter:
