Would the Argentine public have bought into the war if they'd actually known the truth about that supposed 1833 usurpation?

Steve Potts. Probably not. It is precisely these myths that cause friction and eventual wars the world over.
I am sure the vast majority of ordinary Argentines could not give a toss about other activities outside their country. All most of them want is to be able to have a job and feed their families. Most of which has been denied them because of the regimes that run their lives.
Greed never pays because if you can't make what you have work grabbing more territory will not fix the problem but will cause more.
The myth about 1833 is used to fuel the masses to support those in power in Argentina so they can keep their jobs and loot their country in the process.
Many of the Argentine people simply dont know the truth and they suffer as a result. The Falklands war of 82 demonstrates that awful waste of life on all sides . All because of a mythical lie .

And the odious Fernandez couldn't bring himself to acknowledge the essential part played by Falkland Islanders in bringing this about, never mind thanking them. That was left to Laurent Cobaz from the ICRC, who has managed this whole project with skill and compassion.
