    They should sit down and celebrate all the help Israel gave them in 1982 while they're at it.

    Am I wrong, but didn't Argentina quote Iran as being one of their 'friends' ??

    I think you are wrong, it was probably Greek or someone like him saying that they were friends as they're both “rogue states” =) But I certainly expect my Queen, both as an anticolonialist and exponent of peace, to be on the right side against America's and Israel's current aggression against Iran

    @3 - Never have you made such a fool of yourself. Israel's current aggression against Iran? Of course, aggression against a rogue, radical theocracy trying to develop nuclear weapons so they can wipe your country off the map is not justified in the slightest. How many times were you dropped on your head? This is an insult, as behind the scenes, Kirchner is begging Iran to include them in the new anti-west alliance. She's even agreed to wear a burka.

    @5 Typically I think Argentina is going the way of North Korea with its isolationism and stomping about and making demands, rather than Iran.

    Perhaps if Israel and Argentina are that close, and her bloggers agree with this,
    then do I take it, that if their new friend actually attacks IRAN then CFK and Argentina will fully back Israel up, and send troops ships and planes, in defence of Israel,

    or more truthfully, just like her friends in south America, her support only goes as far as talking,
    so back to square one again .

    Hypocrites? A brit calling us hypocrites?

    All your troubles in the Middle East stem from hypocrisy and the inevitable double-dealing, duplicity, and propping up of convenient dictators on the one hand and overthrowing those you didn't like on the other (and splitting the land into ridiculous entities, like Iraq).

    Europe and the USA are far bigger experts in hypocrisy than us. Ask Bin Laden in the 80s (maybe he not dead yet!)

    @ 10 “A brit calling us hypocrites?”

    Yes that's right.

    Argentina is a third world banana republic dictatorship. Liars and hypocrites.

    Frankly you disgust me.

    Your opinion matters not to me, so no worries.

    You did not deny what I said about foreign policy. You have propped-up dictators and then turned on them (as if anyone with a brain believes the front), you have supplied weapons to militants who then turned on YOU! You have engaged in double dealings with supposed enemies... Please don't tell me its part of geopolitik, because hypocrisy is hypocrisy.

    And the reason it is worse coming from Europe and the USA is because they still then pretend to do things “out of the values of democracy”, and it doesn't stop there. They dare accuse other countries of hypocrisy when they play the same game.

    It is your governments who are disgusting and history will and is judging them as such. However, I would never mix the citizenry into that. Once in power politicians elected change their tune on a heartbeat.

    @12 Do you not think that having stolen your land from the first nations people it's not a little hypocritical of you to start ranting on about how you're not colonialists slash demanding someone else gives you their land?

    You don't see the hypocrisy there?

    A sandwich of FAIL for you, Sir.

    You'll never get them to admit they're wrong, GY.
    But he does have a valid point regarding the Middle East.
    Bin Laden was trained & funded by the Americans to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan.
    We all sold weapons to Saddam Hussein & encouraged him to fight lran.
    Some western nations even sold lraq nuclear components.
    These things do have a tendency to turn around & bite you on the arse.
    Especially when you're dealing with volatile people.

    It may not be as volatile or violent as yet,
    But greed always starts with accusations, then increases to threats,
    Then slowly involves others, then they get aggressive, then on and on until violence spreads,
    Argentina knows she has no claim or ownership, so in fact CFK and her government should be thoroughly ashamed of her self, in picking on an innocent island and causing all this upset between 3 nations all for her own vanity, trying to divert attention away from Argentina onto the islands is a disgrace, as all actions have to be answered,

    And its very silly for the other south American nations to back her up, when knowing she has no claim, I personally hope for all our sakes that this blows away, or she goes under,
    Because if it all goes pear shape, then Argentina will get the backlash in all this,
    Just a point .

    Cristina Fernández de Kirchner the current disaster president of Argentina
    and the other Argentina crooks are her vice-president, Amado Boudou, he is actually an owner of the company that prints money for the government in Argentina, a major conflict of interest, but he denies it, he owns the company in the names of other friends and associates. He is being investigated and surely will end up in jail where he belongs. Cristinas 2 VERY UGLY children, Maximo and Florencia Kirchner, are also very corrupt. Maximo owns all kinds of hotels and properties adn Florencia is a film student in New York and lives in a luxury Park Avenue apartment and is known for major cocaine use. Some of us who know her in New York remember how she always used to tell us how her parents have a bank account drawn on the Nation of Argentina and for her family money is no object. These 2 corrupt children of Cristina Kirchner are self proclaimed “militants”, they belong to 2 internal terrorist groups which Cristina Kirchner finances, “La Cámpora” and “Quebracho”. “La Cámpora” goes around to the poor shantytowns around the cities in Argentina and gives the poor people a bag of groceries, a sausage sandwich called “choripan” and $20 pesos to buy their votes. These people have no choice but to accept this as they are extremely poor and have no other hope. “Quebracho” is a terrorist group which Cristina Kirchner pays to protect her, they disguise their faces and go around shaking down businesses to get money and give back to the president. They are also responsible for drug dealing, robberies and murders.

    #4 “She's even agreed to wear a burka.” I seriously doubt it =) While I support Iran's right to develop peaceful nuclear power without being bombed by Israe and/or America, Argentina is certainly ahead on women =)

    #9 Theres no hypocrisy in trying to get justice for a crime done against you (and it was only since Nestor came in that Argentina has been, on this as so much else the privatiser governments were remiss) and opposing future crimes (ie the nuclear agression)

    #16 Do you have to post this crap on every thread? Do you think anyone takes it sderiously?

    Argentina also has a bad history, that goes beyond the Spanish, just because you are now independent, you cannot stop your past at say 1830,
    Spain is just as much, apart of your history as our own history.

    But then again if you guys are now stating that Argentina is now a peaceful nation, you all live in a convent and live like monks, and obey the ten commandments, then I would have to say, congratulations argentine for changing so much, in a short space of time,

    But as I don’t live in fantasy land, and believe you have changed very little in your outlook in the last 30 years, nothing really has changed, you still want to steal what is not yours, and never has been, you think that by getting all of south America on your side, we will just give in,
    Then you will have a long and wasted wait,
    As long as you and CFK are anti democracy, then you will always be what you are,

    In CFK's administration there are deranged nutjobs like Luis D'Elia who openly support Iran. He is a friend of Ahmadinejad and visited him several times, believes 9-11 was an inside job and also denies/minimizes the Holocaust. However, since he is also a unconditional supporter of CFK nobody in the government condemns his actions.
