Politics - a game similar to ping-pong .... but with more 'pong' :-)

If Argentina's government recognizes the islands as British, that will mean the end of Cristina's government, because 38.000.000 Argentines are convinced that those islands belong to Argentina. There are people who don't care or think the islands are British, I'm one of those people. But maybe we're wrong, maybe those islands effectively belong to Argentina. 38.000.000 people can't be wrong. Or Can They? I should think about it.
