I'm from an Argentine family, and I'll be blunt: the people of las Malvidas are Britons. Period. The people of Israel are Israelis, the people of the Gaza Strip and the west bank are Palestinian, the people of North Iraq are Kurds, etc.
Letting historical arguments about borders override the basic question if the culture of the people living there right now is stupid, 18th-century thinking.
I'm sympathetic to Argentina's arguments about resource rights to the water surrounding the island, but the nationality of the island itself is not in question, and Thatcher was right to protect British people.
- Lordarminius 10y ago> the people of las Malvidas are Britons. Period. The people of Israel are Israelis, the people of the Gaza Strip and the west bank are Palestinian, the people of North Iraq are Kurds, etc Israel Gaza and Iraq are not thousands of miles from the original home countries. But I am genuinely curious that you answer these: 1.How can the nationality of the Island not be in question and at the same time Argentina have valid claims to the resources? It must be one or the other else there is a contradiction there. 2.There were Britons living in enclaves in South Africa during the Thatcher era.Some of these dated back 400 years. Would the UK have been justified in sending troops to defend their land claims?
