    “ .... among them the usual Argentine sponsored condemnation of the UK over the disputed Falklands/Malvinas Islands sovereignty and the current oil industry activities....”

    ”President Cristina Fernandez stressed how necessary it was that all “be ready to move forward with strength and determination, cutting all ties with countries that try to do away with democracy or succeed in doing so”............

    lets hope that Argentina allow the Falkland Island ships to carry their own flag and are able to over-fly the very democratic republic of Argentina by civilian aircraft carrying tourists to the very democratic Falkland Islands who are a peace loving nation that has never had a Dictatorship. The Falkland Islands wish to live peacefully with its nearby democratic neighbours but its difficult because its neighbours keep wanting to take over their country and expell them all and break all maritime ,UN and international laws to try and press a fictitsious cause. If only Argentina was able to be half the Democratic nation it pretends to be. Maybe, the Falklands have cut all ties with countries that try to do away with democracy or succeed in doing so”............

    4 Billy Hayes:

    ...You're extra deluded from your other nationals. Argentina want's soveriginity, there is no source which says otherwise.

    Argentina has NEVER said if the british leave Argentina will leave the islands in peace...in fact, the last time the british left the area, was when you invaded.

    You're either a liar, or an idiot...Possibly both.

    One can hardly blame Argentina for seeking to reclaim the Falklands. CFK (who has, to her credit, solidified the diplomatic approach, making any future war unlikely) can hardly turn round and say to the people of her country, “look, I cannot be arsed with this Malvinas stuff anymore, let's call it a day, its just a bunch of stupid little islands”.
