Not sure we are required to reciprocate. Still, in the absence of peace treaty, a state of war still exists between us by virtue of the attack on us. I was fine with the Falklands, and supported the UK 100% back in the day. I'd say that we should have joined in, actually.
If they chose not to follow the nato guidelines, and nato was fine with it, I guess so be it. Doesn't change the de facto declaration of war (unresolved) by attacking our embassy. Not that an attack on an embassy is particularly egregious, since it telegraphs the notion that no negotiation is forthcoming (the negotiators having been removed/attacked).
