Treinta años después, se reabre el conflicto de las Malvinas


On the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War, Falklands to the British, the conflict returns to confront the governments of London and Buenos Aires. The statements this week by David Cameron, in which he accused Argentina of a political exercise "colonial" in the South Atlantic archipelago, fast response found in the vice, Amado Boudou, which described them as "stupid and ignorant outburst." Boudou remains the head of the executive as the president. The escalation of tension also reflected the Foreign Minister, Hector Timerman, adding that Britain "is synonymous with colonialism."

This is slightly rediculous to be bringing back up after 30 years? Why not leave well enough alone Europe and Spain haven't fought since then so why bring it up? If you have unresolved problems then you have unresolved problems but theres no reason to re-start a war, when 30 years ago the war never declared to be in Margaret Thatcher an implacable foe but the conflict lasted just 74 days. The outcome was disastrous for Argentina: 649 dead. For the fallen British side were 255.
