Anytime an argentinian politician wants to rouse the population they bring up the falklands and as soon as they achieve their short term goal they drop it again. As for the US wanting this settled well time to tell them to sod off really it has nothing to do with them and the only reason they want a settlement is so US oil companys can move in on any sizeable oil fields found.

Could we defend the falklands as we did last time currently no we couldn't we don't have the naval power right now to do it and i doubt the political will if we did have the naval forces. But as Chris said the falklands are not the easy target they once were and it would be a brave argie admiral\general that fancied his chances anytime soon.

End of the day we gave an assurance to the islanders that as long as the majority of them wanted to remain UK citizens their wishes would be met and if we were to ever break that promise i think it would be a dark day for the UK as a whole.
