President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has decreed that all ships must get prior permission before entering Argentine waters, which she claims covers the entire South Atlantic continental shelf.

The above is taken from the article I read that caused me to start this thread.Sounds like a country that was taken to town so to speak last time acting up again.Decree is meaningless unless they use force, maybe they intend to at some point thinking Brits are weak right now and lets face it, Brown is no Thatcher.

The Colonialism debate somehow(lol) got started on here.Someone else pointed out, look how former colonies are doing now, most are third world and all the problems that come with it and not "free", prob would have been better off to stay under the Brits.
