Whilst there are no Argentinians occupying any important islands up here, we do have other neighbours who we allow to run thier own countries, you know like France and Germany even the Spanish.

What part of self determination are people, like the Argentinian govenrment etc failing to understand.

It wasnt too hard to understand when they wanted it for themselves while living under the various dictators and juntas they have had to bear over the last hundred years or so.

Seems like lessons may need repeating.
