Just Great Britain?
In America today there remains two factions.
The Federalist and the Anti-Federalist.
Neither of the two dominating political parties belong to the latter.
You can't be one and the other..
It would be interesting if WW3 started with the Falklands... instead of Iran.
Not exactly...
The Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas have been part of France, Spain, Argentina, and Great Britain over time. Alaska has never been a part of Canada or Britain.

"Forget what they tell you on the news. War is about oil...it's ALWAYS about oil." Quote from my former boss and a retired Rear Admiral in the Navy in 1999.
I wonder if that still holds true in 2013.
So it was a mistake to fight the British in 1770's?

Not the same at all.It would be like Cuba saying we are taking Guantanamo back and you saying ,let the US military stationed there have a vote who they want to belong to.It is a really strange case but both sides have a point.
Anyway the UK threats are worthless without US support they could not invade Malta let alone fight a war.Not that the socialist Argentinians have any bite to their bark either.It would be like watching two 80 year old grandmothers with bad hips and sight fight,SAD.

“Great Britain has transformed Las Malvinas Island into a key military base for the control of the South Atlantic, the inter-oceanic access and projection into the Antarctica securing the exploitation of the natural resources of the South Atlantic that belongs to the Argentinean people,” an Argentinean Ministry of Foreign Affairs communiqué said.
Buenos Aires has no doubt that the militarisation of the zone – a bit disproportionate by all accounts – has nothing to do with the defence of the 2,500 British citizens living in Las Malvinas. But it has everything to do with the control of the vast natural resources in the area.
The British government announced an ambitious plan to drill in the area

It does not require a majority to prevail,
but rather an irate, tireless minority keen
to set brush fires in peoples minds

I don't pretend to be an expert on the Falklands, but my understanding is that when they were settled it was not illegal, or no more so than our settling North America, and long settled, and the people there want to remain British.

The US is allied with both Britain and Argentina. I guess this is what Jefferson meant by "entangling alliances".

Thank goodness for our nuclear submarines.Even though I think only one of them works at a time.The Argies will invade before we finally build our new aircraft carriers.
