Here we go again. Just name calling and finger pointing or is there any way this turns into a shooting war? :rolleyes:

Argentina to snub UK by refusing to send president to Olympic Games opening ceremony (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/london-2012-argentina-to-snub-uk-by-refusing-to-send-president-to-olympic-games-opening-ceremony-7973022.html)


Argentina, meanwhile, has become increasingly hostile to Falkland islanders, preventing free trade, stopping cruise ships bearing Falkland Islands flags docking in Argentinian ports and preventing flights using its air space.

Argentina is now dealing with a country that effectively has no military other than hyrdrogen bombs. They'd best pull their heads out of their asses.

We kicked their asses once, we'll do it again if we have to...Some folks never learn apparently...

I always thought it was an island thing:
Great Britain
Ireland
Virgin Islands
Bermuda
Diego Garcia
Australia
New Zealand
Hong Kong
Falklands

Islands, Continents, ISLAND Continents...never seemed to make a difference.
