The appeal to a resolution on colonialism is laughable; if the UK were to cut all sovereign ties with the Falklands that would still not deliver them into Argentine hands. The islanders retain the right to determine their own government and their preferences are already well known.
In the absence of any involvement by the UK whatsoever, Argentina would still have to mount a military operation in order to take control of the islands. |
Again Chris the islanders nationality, as far as I can tell, is not currently disputed. This is more an issue of ownership rather than occupancy.
I am not advocating an Argentinian invasion or war of any sort I'm merely suggesting people take a look at the bigger picture rather than doing what the UK and Argentinian politicians are doing by sabre rattling.
