    Having US comments about Venezuela in mind, and the warmongerers in the stolen island, this is a sad but necessary procedure.

    And here is the first lecture.

    ALL unasur countries will immediately begin destruction of ALL their weapons. The UN will be requested to oversee the process. The process will continue until the UN can certify that every single weapon, and every munition, has been destroyed.

    In the second stage, ALL unasur members will disband every organisation that can, in any way, be considered to be military. No doubt our american friends will assist by maintaining satellite surveillance. In addition, every country will be officially invited to notify the UN of any instance where any weapon, or munition, is believed to exist anywhere within the territory of any unasur member.

    There. 'Problem' solved. And the end of the South American Defense School.

    Jibber-jabber to the fore:
    “The region's defence philosophy does not prepare for war but rather emphasizes the significance of dissuasive instruments when faced with the global 'new threats' such as drugs trade, people trafficking and other challenges”, added Cordero.

    I wonder what these defensive 'instruments' are? Pistols, rifles, 50cal machineguns, RPGs, cruise missiles, etc.

    This bunch of argie inspired cunts shouldn't be allowed them: they ARE children after all.

    A school offering a degree in “How to Run & Hide” ?

    There'll be lots of “firsts” handed out considering the raw talent available.

    WTF would want to invade a S American country apart from another S American country? Given the benevolence and friendship they show to each other, this seems rather a pointless excercise!

    @8. And, no matter what you want, WE Brits are back. Oh sorry, never left! Because the Brits on OUR Islands ARE home. Always a good idea to check history on Brits making latinos run. Remember 1806 and 1807? You were there weren't you? If the spaniards (not you) won such an amazing victory, what was the number of British casualties? How many never re-boarded their ships to go off and attack somewhere else that was spanish?

    Try for some real accuracy. When was the last time argie troops beat British troops? The answer is that they NEVER have. How are you going to SEND Brits home? What are you going to use? Canoes?

    1807 conq... Wasn't it when you fled Buenos Aires with the tail between your legs, abandoning Montevideo in the process?

    It's well documented, the Charrua indians had some laugh, and never managed to understand why you lot stood up in a row, just waiting to get killed...

    Ernesto Samper; the Secretary General of Unasur.
    The “famous” former president of Colombia, who was
    almost forced to resign because of his connection to the
    “drug cartels”.

    French Guiana is not part of UNASUL because it is still a French colony.

    @12. What's it to you? At the relevant time, Buenos Aires and Montevideo were spanish. Do you have a date or dates when the colonial power, spain, decided to agree that you could be an independent 'country'? 1857, wasn't it? Until that time, you were just a colony in rebellion. You really must learn about your 'own' history because, as with everything else, you are ignorant.

    Here are some clues. 'spanish' forces were commanded by Santiago de Liniers, designated as viceroy and only subject to the king of spain. After the legitimate attack by British forces on a spanish POSSESSION, Liniers was later named Viceroy of the Río de la Plata by the Spanish Crown.

    Where exactly does argieland come into this? Even its rebellion was FOUR YEARS later.

    I reiterate, argie troops have NEVER beaten British troops. Want to pop over to the Falklands and dig up some of your 'elite' troops. Ever read the statistics? The British Task Force landed 10,000 troops in 1982. In pursuit of an objective that the US Navy said was impossible. 3 Commando Brigade and 5 Infantry Brigade achieved their objective. In the course of which they took 11,313 argie prisoners. So 3 Commando and 5 Infantry were outnumbered!

    Back in 1806/7, there were three British 'forces'. It might be an idea to read some honest history and see how close it was. But there were no argies then, so what does it matter? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_invasions_of_the_R%C3%ADo_de_la_Plata
    Hey, you repelled an invading force. In 1982, we kicked your sorry arses out of the Falklands. And now international law says those lands are ours. So feck off!

    Any more comments on French Guiana?

    French Guiana is an overseas department and region of France, on the north Atlantic coast of South America. By land area, it is by far the largest Overseas departments of France. As an overseas region, it is inside the European Union, and its official currency is the Euro.
    taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Guiana

    So not a colony then?

    But is it 'South American' ?
