And tell me how Argentina is any less usurped from the native populations and neighbouring nations than the islands? Argentina’s entire space was forcibly taken from other nations and tribes at some part in its history, should you and all argentines be stripped of your rights for this?And do you remember who attacked the islanders? Who locked up hundreds of people in Pradera del Ganso (Goose Green) in contradiction to the Geneva Convention? Who put artillery in populated areas so that any bombings would risk harming civilians? The islanders remember this.And do you remember who has spent the past 30 years since this attack trying to prevent them having any possible future by economically blockading them and trying to shut them out of any international organisation?And as for James peck, the very fact that Argentina took one islander getting dual citizenship, and turned it into a propaganda event does Argentina’s image no favours to the islanders.And as I have said before, if Argentina was peacefully and legally able to convince the islanders to unify with Argentina I would have no complaint. However this will never happen so long as Argentines demand they be stripped of their rights and identity, and be suppressed for the "crime" of existing on land Argentina wants. peace and unification will only come when Argentina treats the islanders with the same respect Argentines themselves desire.Peace and greetings</blockquote>
