yo creo en colombia

"Paradox" is the term most often applied to Colombia. To be sure, as can be seen in the international press, the country is marked by a violent, internal conflict, to a great extent fueled by the drug trade. Less visible, yet highly significant, are the country’s tremendous assets -- its civilian, constitutional tradition, a record of sound economic management and performance, and educational, cultural, and scientific prowess.

Seldom does it appear in newspapers that Colombia is the leading supplier of flowers to the United States, that it is a pioneer in private philanthropy throughout Latin America, and that, despite the problems, it remains highly attractive for oil and gas exploration. Granted, such accomplishments do not easily lend themselves to appealing headlines. But they are critical to come to an honest picture of a country endowed with considerable advantages, struggling to pursue a productive course.

That site you posted lists Colombia as the #3 producer of women's underwear twice. Well, once as women's underwear, and once as lingerie. They are quite proud, no?

Good to see that life is still good!
