What a shame. A region of peace would be much better, but Latin America clearly isn't going to accept agression

Hang on a cotton picking minute!

I thought Putridjelly had 'announced' a programm of co-operation whereby Argentina and Brasil were jointly to 'design and manufacture a new armoured multi-wheel drive vehicle'.

How can it possibly be that Brasil are ignoring TMBOA AGAIN!!!

She will be scweeming and scweeming again: hope the aneurism comes soon. :o)

¨Mayor Macri, who is the main leader of the opposition and the candidate with greatest chances for the 2015 presidential election.¨
lol, who could possibly want to be president of Argentina in 2015? Cristina´s gonna leave the country a complete and total wreck. Whoever takes over will be walking straight into a minefield. I wouldn´t want to be pres of Argentina even if they offered it to me right now free of charge.

But, you are still right, who would want that job?

@ 2 cornishair: Neighbors are not a threat. The last conflict between Brazil and a neighbor was the Paraguay war and it ended in 1870.
