Well, one could argue about the british invaded first, back in 1833, so the argentinians were retaking own land. But´s not the point: my truth, your truth. The sad thing is the loss of life and the incompetence of the governments to avoid it.

And about the ARA General Belgrano thing, I don´t think the sinking was a "war crime" (as lot of people say here and abroad). She was a legitime target, a big cruiser in a "hot" zone.

But (always a but) the tempo of Mrs. Thatcher decision (sink the cruiser) was wrong, specially with a peace proposal over the table (offered by the peruvian government).
