The corrupt Argentine president, Kirchner, says that Britain should 'give back' the Falklands and that we are flying in the face of UN Resolutions and are being 'colonial'. I suppose if Argentina owned them, that wouldn't be colonial? Even though the population wants to maintain their relationship with Britain, not a lot of them, not a majority but almost every single one of them, it seems that the over riding UN principle of self determination should be ignored.
Argentina claims that they once owned the islands and Britain took them. History has a habit of doing these things. We want to stop that kind of aggression, but Kirchner it seems wants to continue it. There is a reason of course, that she speaks Spanish rather than Aymara or Quechua. I suppose she could always get rid of the indigenous population once she 'gets back' the islands. That wouldn't be 'colonial'.
Kirchner should stick to conning people in domestic issues, like dodgy land deals from which she gets rich, rather than try the same limp techniques on the wider world. You can fool some of the people, dear.
I suppose, if some batty left ideologue at the UN decided it was anti-colonial to forcibly seize a territory from a government its people desire and hand it over to another power, we could follow up the logic ourselves. The Falklands are some 400 miles from Argentina, but Ireland, an island we used to 'own' is much closer. So perhaps, under 'Kirchner's law' we should take back the whole of Ireland? Maybe the terrorists McGuinness and Adams could move to Argentina - I think their skills are more appreciated there.
