    @ #1 Agreed! . I think that Sr. del Rio must be a Special Envoy for Monsanto. It is apparent that the OAS now endorses Coup d'etat as a method of governance.

    Well, it's certainly true that Think needs a festering furuncle in his buttocks. It would make a pair with the one under his nose. Let's consider use of the phrase “coup d'etat”. “the sudden, illegal deposition of a government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment—typically the military—to depose the extant government and replace it with another body, civil or military.” Strangely, it appears that no “government” was deposed in Paraguay. Just an incompetent president. And it may have been sudden, but it wasn't illegal. It was, in fact, scrupulously in accordance with the Paraguayan constitution. argies won't be able to comprehend this as they pay no attention to their own “constitution” preferring to rely on the decrees of their dictator...sorry, “president”. Said president is undoubtedly more corrupt than Lugo had a chance to be. But then she's been doing it longer. Neither was the action carried out by “a small group of the existing state establishment” but by the overwhelming majority. But, of course, there was no “breakdown in the democratic order” in Paraguay, that was simply the unbelievable excuse put out by CFK & co in order to create a situation where they could illegally “incorporate” Venezuela. Apart from Paraguay, was there ever any “democratic order” in mercosur. Of course not. CFK doesn't know what the word means and Mujica only knows how to be bullied and coerced. Of course, argies have to lie, even to themselves. If they were ever to force themselves to contemplate the reality, they'd have to top themselves from shame. So many words that can't be used in the same sentence as “argies”. “Honesty”, “honour”, “responsibility”, “truth” spring to mind!

    Uruguay, please rid yourselfs from this group. You do not need them, and they are becoming more corrupt day by day. Join groups that show some promise, just like this one did before it became what it is today. For the better of your economy, stop listening to the like of CFK and such, and listen to your own people.

    your or our, it doesn`t matter. and i`m only saying what is best for OUR(happy?)country. Staying in these groups is ridiculous and pointless. These groups are corrupt, and were only good for when they were made. We need to join groups that show better promise and benefit than these, who show little at all. If you do not know this than you are blinded, blinded by corruption and stupidity.

    Like i said, blinded by corruption and stupidity. Mercosur is not useful anymore. They were when they were created, but now worthless.

    Who are the real members of MercoSur ?

    It has been pitiful to watch Brazil bully Paraguay in return for commerce with Venezuela. It is not pitiful to watch Argentina behave like a bully. It is to be expected. And nothing is to be expected from Uruguay. But it is a surprise to watch the mighty emerging Brazil behave like a schoolyard bully. Brazilian diplomats know better.

    Grown ups are not impressed by teenagers beating up children.
