It also shows as i have said on other threads, that many argentinians were conscripts who would have fallen victem to the Death Squads if they refused to fight. For those lads.....they had no choice at all.


That it was the only reason that she won the next election does not, in itself, mean it was wrong.

That the Argentine troops were conscripts does not mean that they were not trying to kill our troops or that fighting them was a slaughter of the innocents as you have been suggesting.

: You wouldn't dare mess with the English posse and you know it you big girls blouse. Besides, we got Scotland as back up.

So...... today His sexiness has announced that as far as the Falkland Islands are concerned..... there is nothing to discuss.

However, I agree with the Argentinians that they must be allowed to visit the Islands war graves to visit their lost relatives.
