It doesn't look like the wounds have healed for either side.


Argentina has held ceremonies to mark the 30th anniversary of the sinking of the warship General Belgrano during the Falklands War with the UK.

"On days like these, we remember that there is a mission that is not over," Belgrano survivor Admiral Jorge Castro said at the ceremony.
"There are 323 voices calling to us that there is an open wound. Every day they they remind us that the Malvinas are, were and will be Argentine."

The film ends with the words: ***8220;To compete on English soil, we train on Argentine soil***8221;, appearing on screen.

But yes, desperate and underhand. Validates our current tactic of ignoring them IMHO.

Falling dominoes..

We win the war...they loose the war... Military Junta in trouble...Military Junta over thrown...freedom restored.

So why are they still carping on about? The Military Junta could still be in control today!

The focus is now on oil and mineral resources in the area.

So can you say "Mr. Fernando Zylberberg has missed the bus" or does that sound too 1930s?
