We have nearly handed them over twice before under Harold Wilson in 1968 and before the invasion itself under The Iron Lady herself, difference is now though that the islanders are British citizens and that there's a shed load of oil there now to of course.
As for the US we can't rely on them, they were backing Argentine claims before right up until invasion and it looks like it wont be any different this time around.
