Makes me laugh, Sean Penn has a view contrary to the majority on here and suddenly he is a washed up, talentless nobody! Love or loathe his opinions but he IS hollywoodroyalty and a fine actor.

'Ownership' of certain land masses can certainly be a complex/emotive issue and many countries really have no moral high ground from which to preach to us.
The reasons for the Falklands issue appearing again are exactly the same as last time (trying to deflect attention from domestic troubles at home)...also the potential for Oil/Resources was already widely recognised in 1982.
