Varför är media så ofta ute och cyklar gällande Colombia?

Han fortsätter: "Let’s see, that means we want Afghanistan to be run by a corrupt authoritarian government linked to illegal paramilitaries engaged in drug-trafficking; with 10% of its population internally displaced; with Armed Forces engaged in horrific attacks on noncombatant civilians; and with an anti-drug program that decimates small farmers’ subsistence crops.
