Uruguay next

Costa Rican president and Nobel Prize winner, Oscar Arias, presented a proposal to the Uruguayan president to eliminate the uruguayan army. Costa Rica is one of the few countries in the world to erradicate their army and take a more peaceful approach. Oscar Arias said: Why does Uruguay need an army? It hasnt been in a war for years? Who's gonna attack Uruguay, Brazil? Argentina? I dont think so. Uruguay doesnt need an army. Nevertheless, some conservative Uruguayan senators claimed that Arias should mind his own businesses and stay out of Uruguay. Ironically, those senators are investors of the companies who manage the Uruguayan Army's weapons and resources. Mind his own business? Hmmmm....

  1. Interesting idea. What do you think? Does he have a point, or is this crazy talk?

    Also, what's your source of information?
