#3 If there does turn out to be a bunch of oil out near the Falklands, I expect China to take great interest in encouaging/helping Argentina to 'recover' its lost territory (and to modify its new capital retention law.)

#4 ..once again reminding those who own and operate juntas [or similar types of national management], that you might as well go out fighting than just wait around for someone to deal with your sorry ass later. A lot of people paid the ultimate price to bury the Duck of Death. While some may say his demise is a warning, others may take this also as a warning in calculating how they want to transition from power.

#5 The junta did go out fighting. Their mistake was to pick an adversary who was stronger and determined to fight back.

#7 Argentina is having allot of problems right now. They believe that England is weak now and they want the islands as bad as ever especially with oil production. Brazil has cut back as many other countries because the world economy has slowed. This is keenly felt in Argentina. The financial situation is bad currently. The weather on top of it all has been severe. There you have the stark extremes of wealthy and poor. I think she'll pull a Chavez and nationalize. Some time ago they did a default as I recall. What of the youth of Argentina?, the young people are reviving the Tango. So the world moves on.
