The whole Falklands/Malvinas question is entirely ludicrous. Both General Galtieri and Thatcher decided to fight purely for domestic political reasons -- the islands are otherwise completely worthless.

Although you may be right, I prefer to think that the Iron Lady fought for the 2000 rightful inhabitants of the islands.

Much as you Israelis are fighting for your kidnapped (sure, right) soldier.
