I just found out on Wikipedia that they also claim South Georgia and the Sandwich Islands as well as a slice of Antarctica. Argentine tyranny and aggression knows no limits.

The Falklands, does Argentina have a valid p.o.v.?

The Argentine claim is pretty weak if I recall.
More importantly, the population is British, has been British for 175 years, and wants to remain British.
Argentina needs to get over it."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

It's like an international dick size contest. Hate to break it to the Argies, but Britain wins that contest by a couple miles.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Why not? Can you add new information that hasn't been presented here by others to support your claim?“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

You gotta feel bad for the Argentinians, though. At the dawn of the 20th century, people saw Argentina as a very strong contender to be a world power in the future. Massive European immigration, plenty of free land, it was supposed to be the US of Latin America. Then History happened...

I'd just like to see if, for once, HC can back up his claims. But as usual, he relies on you to save him.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
