[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 304982"] [url="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7041745.ece"]source[/url] What does everyone make of this? I'm especially interested in our Argentine members' opinions. On the surface, from the (British) news stories I've read, it seems like we're doing nothing wrong - drilling for oil in territory that is ours. The Argentines seem to be making a fuss, 1) because they want the Falkland Islands, and 2) because they'll miss out massively if oil is discovered. Personally, I couldn't give a **** whether Britain owns places like the Falklands or Northern Ireland. It's really up to the people who live there. But in this case, it seems like Falkland Islanders are very keen on being British. Why then do the Argentine Govt. feel so strongly as to consider bypassing the UN (something which should they should be heavily punished for imo) and go to the US over this? [/QUOTE]
