    Héctor Timerman announced on January 30 that Vahidi, would be questioned in Teheran by an Argentine judge,

    Héctor Timerman
    Says the Falklands will be argentine in 20 years,

    It seems this nincompoop says and promises lots of things,

    But like the rest of CFK government promises,
    It all amounts to nothing,
    Precisely nothing.

    don't think I would trust either one of them. Just say that the Iranian admits the bombing, what then, extradition, don't think that is going to happen.

    However Argentine political analysts insist they still can’t fully understand President Cristina Fernandez determination to go ahead with the Iran understanding despite all the flaws and increasing criticisms.

    That ANY serious government is even negotiating with these war mongers says much about what is so bereft in AR today: a sense of what is right for the Argentine people and the determination to achieve it.

    Instead we have the idiot Timerman trying to dance on the pointed end of a darning needle whilst simultaneously advancing TMBOA ‘desires’.

    What a joke.

    .......and who would trust “Argentine Justice”??

    “What the Argentine state must do is defend its people and fight for truth and solving the case”

    Oh I can see now, this Argentine investigation. “Laughing Boy” Timerman will go to Teheran and keep asking people “It was you wot done it!!” until someone is stupid enough to say “Yes!!”

    Timmerman is Iran's b.f.f. (best friend forever). I bet that makes him feel safe at his homes in Tel Aviv and NYC.

    Argentina desperately trying to make an alliance with the worlds worst international dirt bags, I wonder who will be next on their charm offensive, North Korea, Syria? They think no-one knows what they are up to, you actually start to feel sorry for the Argentine people in the end, they have no hope with the crowd they currently have in power.

    Did you see the link Anglotino put on here about the fake Iranian stealth fighter, classic Iranian comedy.
    The Argentines are going to be upset though, when the crates arrive marked Airfix and they realise how much model cement they are going to needs to assemble them.
    Really surprises me, their biggest supporter, militarily, in 1982 and they shit on them to suck up to the Iranians.
    There can only be one reason for it, they are hoping to cream off some of the $US they are going to handle helping Iran avoid the sanctions on them.
    Only logical explanation.

    “all jews out of Argentina, all falkland islanders out of the falklands, death to all Argentine indigenous people.” And we are supposed to negotiate with people like this? These RG's are totally ignorant of their own history - the military dictatorships that killed, tortured, and raped innnocent people the second world war that fried 6 million jews for just being jews. Comments like these just show how backward and pathetic the RG's are. I almost feel sorry for them, I suppose it's no surprise considering that in 2008 the development back slated Argentine education, and I quote
    “The perception is that the quality of education in Argentina has deteriorated as a result of low investment and lack of appropriate policies. Education seems not to be providing equal opportunities any more, deepening the pattern of increasing inequality observed in the last decades, in a globalized world where human capital is the key to economic development and quality of life. As a consequence, the country is falling behind the world and the region.” Oh dear it looks like Argentina is sinking and sinking fast - will the last person to leave Argentina please switch off the lights! Please read report below- im not making this up!

    Democratic, free Argentina...friends of Venecuba and Iran. TV C5N fired one of its journalists because he criticized Hugo Chavez. They are aligned with the government.

    There's a change in energy that's occurred recently. We are tired of the K's and their disregard for our well being. Working class Argentinians are typically shy and docile in comparison to those that are belligerent and like to take advantage of honest people.

    I figured out, that K's don't hold up very well when you stand up to them. They expect you to keep your mouth shut and just take it. We are the only ones producing anything. Why do we tolerate people that contribute nothing and generate liabilities?

    @20 A very interesting paper. Thank you. Some things that jumped out for me were: Apparently, argieland gained independence in 1816. So why were they celebrating their “bicentennial” two years ago? Doesn't 1816 plus 200 equal 2016? Then, it seems to be admitted that argie “education” mirrors the argie “economy”. So, brief periods of adequacy followed by years of crap. But always including the political brainwashing. Who remembers “axel_arg”, the so-called “teacher”? Just goes to show, doesn't it? In Britain and similar countries, “teacher” is a respected profession. It is actually stated that, in argieland, “teacher” is something one does if one can't get a proper job! A better perception of the standard of education is that a school “week” is, generally, 20 hours. Whereas, in Britain, the standard school week is either 30 or 35 hours. It's not hard to see why the majority of argies are poorly educated.
    @23 Why? Read the article that travellingscotsman has provided a link for. Then think. Check out the classic methods for keeping a population controlled. Poor education. Make sure that their first concern is the basics of life. Food, heat, light. Add in some government propaganda. And some corruption. Identify an “issue” and a “bogeyman”. Any of this sound familiar?

    @25 The people that get manipulated easily are the ones that are lazy and are willing to trade their beliefs for a few government scraps, which is indirectly provided by the sweat of the working class.

    My wife being a teacher, has a few low income students, whose parents sell fruit for 12 hours a day to send them to a private school. There are no excuses. There is a kid in the square paying his way by shining shoes, and he's tired of it as we are.

    Elaborating on what I said in my last comment, a fat cretin was blasting his Cumbia music, and hurling insults at my wife because she told him to turn it down. I said a few words of my own, then he responded by trying to threaten me physically with his size. Though I knew just because he outweighed me, that beneath the blubber was atrophied tissue, and weak bones because of the fatty diet and lack of exercise. Prepared, I didn't flinch, and he didn't come any closer. Now, our neighborhood is a little quieter, and I didn't even have to get my hands dirty.

    Bravo, Optimus, keep hitting them where they hurt. It's the only way they'll learn that getting out of poverty is through hard work, not through governent subsidies!!!!!!!

    @ 25 you're welcome. @26 - if you are Argentine I apologise for lumping you in with the anti-semitic argentines that we had on this page earlier. I am sure that the majority of Argentines are not anti-semitic however comments that were posted above make me really angry. You seem like a well educated decent person.

    I was thinkint that the islanders were really very lucky to have for enemies such a government of incompetent people in a country that seems to destroy itself.

    I'm Argentine, you know, living outside my country with italian background but with some jews in my familiy. Which is not that strange in Argentina that's basically a mix of different european cultures and backgrounds.
    I have been checking the official figures of the Argentine Central Bank and it's quite evident that they are running out of dollars so they are, most probably, thinking about finding a country where oil cound be get at a convinient price or as a change for food.
    What is scaring is that the Gobernment is just finding partners that are “parias” in the international community. It seems that they are not able to develope serious and long lasting commercial relationships with any other “regular” country.
    To be honest, I don't know whether CFK will be able to finish this second term. She must rule the country forn three additional year with out any confidence, no money and with people suffering lot's of issues. I would be more than surprise if she finds the way to finish her second term regularly.

    @28 It's alright. It's about 51% of the population, so in some cases you're at least half right. A Jewish couple crafted my wedding ring in fact, and I went to school with a few Jewish kids that made something of themselves.

    As long as someone doesn't collect subsidies, disturb everyone around them with annoying and belligerent antics they are alright by me. I just think we should form a separate country with people that work. The rest can follow Cristina, in a country without money.
