"is the conflict ongoing", I have no
doubt that the Argies may well attempt to
invade the sovereign territory of another country
yet again.¨
I don´t think Argentina will attempt to recover
sovereign territory stolen from it by the British
with force again. Doesn´t have to. Everyone knows
the British were ready to give them back right up
to the 1982 war anyways and a couple times before
that. A now public document by Argentina presented
to Britian and accepted in 1968 read...
"The government of the United Kingdom will recognise
Argentine sovereignty over the islands with effect
from a date to be agreed."
But the Islanders kicked the peace table and it was
scrapped.
Before the 1982 fighting the UK was ready to
take away the Islanders British citizenship
and let Argentina have it back. Something I
myself consider very dirty. Why not give them
dual citzenship? The kelpers travel to Argentina
all the time right now for business, vacation,
etc. because obviously it much closer than
the UK. An Argentine and Kelper even fell
in love and were married recently and they let
him go live there.
If Britian would be rational and allow free
travel both ways I think the situation would
very quietly resolve itself and the Malvinas
become what they are, a part of Argentina,
not Britain.
But if not...Argentina will continue its
position and keep raising the threat against
them. The Russians were just here offering
to sell us everything they had. Of special
interest was the SU-30 fighter. Very long
range and able to destroy the British Tornados
on the Malvinas in about 1.5 seconds.
(Venezuela bought some)
So this will make Britain spend more millions
of pounds in defense of the place so they can
keep a sheep farm in the South Atlantic.[8|]
(If this situation sound completely stupid
to anyone not from Britian it is because it is.)
Either way, by making them too expensive or
simply allowing free travel between island and
continent the Malvinas are going to be Argentine.
Reasonable minds in Britian are going to prevail
and the only place your going to find that
¨ridiculous¨
looking flag with a
¨sheep¨ on it (@dixie)
in 100 years is a British or Argentine museum.

I do want to share the song I mentioned before.
I´m thinking my British friends here never heard of it.
This song is about a British
soldier coming to fight against us and was on the radio during the fighting everyday in 1982. I don´t know what they played on the radio there in 82´. ¨Don´t cry for me Argentina¨ or some shite like that.[:D]
Anyways, you can hear it here....

And here are the lyrics translated..
¨Queen Mother¨
Smiling he said goodbye to his mother,
he was going to the South Atlantic,
the Kingdom ordered that,
there were some savages that attempted to
disturb the order of the Empire and they will pay
for that with tanks, planes, ships, bullets
Mother, don't worry the world is like this,
they come from the south of the Earth,
what can they do to us?
We are different, we are better
But mother...what's happening here
they are the same as me
and they love this place
this place is so far from our homes
and I don't even remember its name
why am I fighting
why am I killing?
Today the Queen is walking along her gardens
The sun kisses her roses, life smiles at her
Parlament tries to keep everything fine
so nothing will disturb their peace
and then they will watch a new release
where a famous film director will tell stories
about war and men will be all full of emotions
The Queen and they will clap at the good ending.
but mother...what happened there?
they were the same as me
and they love that place
that is so far from our homes
and that I don't even remember its name
why was I fighting, Oh my god.
why was I killing?
Never again, Never again, Never again
