Its a bit of a silly game being played by Ms Kirchner at the moment which has no outcome other than to stir up emotions. A more sensible solution would be to remove any claim to Las Malvinas and offer to support the industry developing mineral and oil extraction, including the development of terminals and facilities in Argentina. Argentina will then reap some of the economic benefits of such an approach and before you know it, the Falklands would be populated with sapnish speaking workers and the whole issue would go away!

Notwithstanding this, I think the bigger issue is further south and the Falklands are the closest deepwater port and airfield to territory that is claimed by several nations and has potentially vast riches under the ice.
