Let's send Ark Royal and some Harriers down there....
Talking of lessons not learned... Oops.
I'm with ShyTorque on this one. I was around for the last "last colonial war". That was about four years after I was in Portsmouth with my school on a careers week, and I watched our last proper flat top being cut up into razor blades. At least Argentina had the decency to wait a few years that time before kicking off about the Falklands. Looks as though this time they're not even going to bother. Oh well in the spirit of Entente Frugale - quelle surprise, at least we can rely on the French eh!
