The USA should understand the Falklands Islander's issues. The real Islanders are hard, tough, self reliant people who believe in Democracy. They are very akin to many Americans who live in remote areas of the North-West. However, from previous very bad experiences, they distrust all politicians - a common theme across the World. They do love the Queen and the UK military, who provide a large degree of protection. They want this umbrella to continue. Maybe the new US president would understand.
