That is to equate apples and pears. Surely the Falklands was a "just war"? And even if not, surely if the "will of the people" means anything, the people were very very dubious about the one, but not the other.
The Sun readers were very happy to support the Falklands war thanks to the headlines - media manipulates public opinion, we all know that. Had there been a referendum on it, how many would have gone for it?
How was the Falklands a 'just war'? The history of the Islands has been disputed since the 1600's and neither country has an overwhelming legal claim to it.
I've been enough times, walked the ground and flown the areas - frankly never worth fighting and dying for.
It was a weakness of two Govts, each looking to bolster flagging support in their own countries - hardly a 'Just war'.
