right, i hear you Dancer. i agree that invading because you 'feel the time is right' or something is definitly wring. on any account.
i do think though, that the selective accountability to an arbitrary look back in history by those in power is all to common. in a situation like this, both sides could have worked through the situation w/o a single war-making device needed to be held. instead, the argentines did in fact choose to 'invade' and the british and Thatcher did choose to conciously forget their appropriation of the islands and took the stance of entitlement.
both were wrong. both at fault.
i do feel bad for those who suffer most and given least in the end, however; the residents of the islands and thier wonderful sheep.
