[Herr-Berbunch]

It was only a matter of time, but she's been quicker off the mark than I thought she would be!!!

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner says she has asked for the Pope's intervention in the Falklands dispute between her country and the UK.

Again, this isn't a thread for bashing other nationalities, keep it sensible and decent.

Apart from Prey, what on earth does she think he can do

Perform miracles?

I suppose Mr Pope could speak to his lord and master but I don't think that would do much good.

These two were on GMA (good morning america) this morning with the news that she was the first important vip person the new pope had received,
but they went on to say that while he was just a cardinal they had been at odds with each other over something undisclosed.

Sounds like she is saying to the pope, "hey if you treat me right on this favor then I will treat you right"

This pope has a lot going for him that's for sure, but is it God?

Time will tell

She must be getting a little desperate...anything to divert the voting masses what kind of economic mess her country is in.

The two also kissed, and Mrs Kirchner remarked afterwards: "Never in my life has a pope kissed me!''

Hardly surprising...simply look at the mirror dear.

Visiting the Vatican, Ms Fernandez said she had asked the Pope to promote dialogue between the two sides.

I don't know what there is to talk about:

Argentina: "Give us those islands"
Britain: "No"

End of story...

Quite sure the Catholic Church can't tell the British Crown what to do. I think the fought a war or two over that.

You can't rule it out, after all when Blair was PM he had a hotline from god.

Cristina Fernandez, I know your barking mad you don't have to prove it anymore.

[Oberon]

Holy war over the Malvinas, eh?

Deus vult!

(Note: I am joking)

Add to that fact that islanders recently voted on this issue. In referendum whether to keep current overseas territory status 99.80% voted 'Yes' (1513 votes) while 0.20% voted 'No' (3 - three - votes).

Add to that fact that islanders recently voted on this issue.

Ireland voted for Home rule, never happened.
Ireland voted for independence, never happened
some in the six counties are pushing for another vote, no matter what the vote the result may never be enacted and they may vote again and again and it may never get enacted.
Hong Kong never even got to have a vote on their status.

The Falkland vote means just what it says on the day, on the morning after it becomes irrelevant apart from as a historical reference.

The two also kissed, and Mrs Kirchner remarked afterwards: "Never in my life has a pope kissed me!''

I doubt many men have kissed her at all, apart from blind ones.

Hong Kong was only on 'Lease' to Britain, the contract stated when & on what terms that 'Lease' would end.
