What's an Argentine? A rebel Spanish colonist guilty of invasion, murder, genocide, theft of land.

Actually this article clarifies the difference between a Spaniard and an Argentine - one takes a realistic view of an unsolvable problem - you find a way around it to move forward and one day normal life and practicalities will find a natural solution
The other just rants and rages and gets nowhere and alienates the people on both sides.

I think spain should be nicer to Gigraltar. What both nations(Spain and Argentina) have failed to realize is that the people will decide how they wish to be governed. If both nations had not treated them like crap and been nice to them from the start they might have achieved their goals by now.

They've both shot them selves in the foot.

¿Quién preguntaba por un español?

Araujo is desperate. Polls give at least 10 points for the PP in the elections of May (When the PSOE won 2007 elections by 15). Araujo seeks to ensure the vote of the three thousand waiters and cleaning women in Gibraltar. Of course, the sale of cigarettes in La Línea has been reduced by 40% last year. Smuggling is running at full steam. The fence will be closed... soon.
