WILLIS TALKS TOUGH TO COLUMBIA

Colombia has it in for Hollywood's ultimate tough guy.

Andres Pastrana, the country's ambassador in Washington, has scolded
actor Bruce Willis for suggesting the United States should consider
invading Colombia as part of its war on drugs.

At a media event in New York to promote his new film, 16 Blocks,
Willis said the United States should weigh "going to Colombia and
doing whatever it takes to end the cocaine trade".

Willis's comments, on screen and off, have landed him in trouble
before.

But this time his remarks have irked normally stone-faced
diplomats.

In a harshly worded letter made public, Pastrana told the outspoken
actor the source of the lucrative cocaine trade was an "enormous
appetite for drugs, in particular in the United States and Europe".

Willis's publicist in Los Angeles declined to comment.
