Comma or not #2 (permalink) Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:50 am   Comma or not
 

On my own perspective, the first one is correct because there are tow adjectives (peaceful and cooperative ) and one adverb(friendly).

Hi Bara, these 3 words are all adjectives.

I suddenly found this question on a newspaper, but I don't know also the answer.

Yes you're right. But it should be in this way:

A friendly, peaceful and cooperative country.
