@lewisbrand La zona de exclusion total fue dada por Inglaperra. ellos mismos violaron sus reglas impuestas. Es un crimen de guerra una traicion a los codigos militares.La flota inglesa con la cola entre las piernas estaba lejos temiendo a los misiles. piratas devuelvan las islas a sus legitimos dueños ARGENTINA.

Sinking the Belgrano was perfectly acceptable in time of war. The Belgrano could have been legitimately sunk in port, let alone at sea. In fact Argentina was lucky not to have suffered any attacks on the mainland.

Finally (!)....without a treaty between Argentina & the Falklanders, there can never be certainty about the 'status quo'....let us put aside the assumption that South America is divided/weak and rotten with corruption, and it becomes united (helped by Hugo Chavez's box of military tricks from mother Russia), and attacks the Falklands. That is why Britain is commited to defending the Islanders' rights which accounts for why British military strength is so apparent there.

Yes, he's right, but it over-simplifies the position. Both sides believe the historic evidence favours them, yet without clarification, who will ever know?
I disagree with what looks like Nazi philosophy (the concept of glorifying strength prevailing over apparent weakness), but actually, 1982 was about putting right what was wrong, and CFK & others are wrong to continue where the Junta left off with a policy of bullying a peaceful self-governing territory.

The 'taxi driver' was just a throw away comment, designed to help a wider readership understand the position. It was more to do with contrasting what the politicians were saying by comparison to the man in the street. Despite what you said, which I'm sure is right, I'm nearly sure Argentinians, in general, accept that reality.
That said, Escude has written an excellent paper on the Falklands/Malvinas which more than makes up for that comment, which I'm sure you've probably read.

In relation to the war of 82, I have always spoken out against it, but I think that attribut to the British victory in the war an instrument to permanently close the dispute (as suggested by Joseppi, who says that whoever wins war is who gets everything, and who lost has to shut up) is like suppose that having won Argentina the status quo by force would have been something valid. Me viene a la mente el título de un libro que viene al caso.."la fuerza es el derecho de las bestias".

Jonny, I do not want to discredit Carlos Escude, is a person who surely knows much about the issue, but when he present the opinion of a taxi driver as something general, he discredits himself. In fact, in Argentina the opinion of the common people (inside which could include the taxi driver) is overwhelmingly in favor of the claim of Argentina.

@sonnyk88 "Educational Video" I nearly pissed myself when I saw that
Argentina should limit the entry of British citizens and only grant visas to those who study Argentine History and pass an exam at the Argentine Embassy in the UK and sign a legal document in which they agree, accept and understand that the Malvinas belong to Argentina. I can't believe there were thousands (yes, 1000s!) of British immigrants living and working in Argentina last year!
