LOL It was the Falkland Islands in the '80's, and I do believe that Argentina was still being run by the junta at the time. Their third President, General Galtieri, was running the show. The Falkland's itself was a British colony, right?

We may not wage a war again for purposes of conquest, but there are plenty of other reasons that wars start, as you know.

Hell with the debate. Democracies do war with each other.

22 cited wars in history

Go to the link to see. Too much formatting for me to print here.

Wars between Democracies

Included are all the silly rebuttals and counter-rebuttals. Draw your own conclusions.
