The Falkland issue can easily be solved by either giving independence to the islands or by bringing them in as part as the UK and giving the islanders the vote and an MP in parliament. The French have done the latter to there ex-colonies and it works fine.

In 1982 we didn't know about any oil. We took a huge risk to win them back as a matter of principle.Originally posted by zeitghostOr until all the oil has gone, then the Argies can have it.
Which went down well with the electorate.
Hence the decision to invade Iraq in 2003.
Which sort of didn't.

FTFYOriginally posted by stek View Postbut really, it's a crappy bit of land too far away. With potentially billions in untapped oil reserves
I think it comes down to the fact that simply the inhabitants want to remain British, so we must protect them as long as they do.
