Desideria (Moderator) says on Jul 6, 2008, 20:46: Douglas, it's the President of Chile, Michele Bachelet who is going to postulate her Nobel Peace Prize. I'd say she has a very good chance of winning it. She's a shining example of peaceful resistence that overcomes the most hostile environment, a jungle concentration camp. Her integrity, never doing her captors any favours and at liberty only with words of praise and gratitude for everybody who had struggled to get her free, for people who have prayed for her, for her President and the Colombian Army for the freetaking. Colombian government should make her an Ambassador For Peace to start with. "I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them."-President George W. Bush 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

But if she decides to run for president that is direct slap in Uribes face. Thanks to him and our military she is back with her family touring French and Colombian TV/Radio shows.

Lisa Zee says on Jul 7, 2008, 21:27: La nueva Ã?ngrid paralizó al paÃs. Sin rabia, dulce y sin una gota de amargura. Ha logrado con su dignidad lo que no ha logrado con las armas ningún revolucionario en la violenta historia de Colombia: conquistar el corazón y la mente de su pueblo. Cuando Ã?ngrid apareció, el paÃs se estremeció. Pero cuando habló, lo doblegó. Después de seis años de selva, humillación y enfermedades, volvió una mujer universal y con una admirable fortaleza moral. Desde sus primeras palabras, cuando todavÃa el mundo estaba en shock por la noticia, Ã?ngrid mostró su grandeza polÃtica.
