Maybe they could have a game of Rugby over it

The arena would have to be in a third country, with a 50/50 split between Argentine and British supporters, so any pre or post match violence is not one sided.

No matter who wins, a war is sure to erupt after the '2008 Rugby Incident' and all the arm-chair warriors will have some sport also.

Seriously though. The future of the Islands is up to the inhabitants. Nationalist rhetoric from politicians we have all seen before, and if followed through, will cement an uncomprimising response from Britian.

Argentine president only reasserted the claim to soverignty, but didn´t mention even a word about a future war.

In fact, she regretted the 1982 conflict in the speech (but saved the soldiers courage and the fallen memory)

So, don´t worry world, war isn´t an issue regarding the Malvinas / Falklands.

And about today´s capabilities of the Royal Navy and an hypothetical South Atlantic war, I recommend a Denise Hammick´s article, published in Jane´s Navy International, June 2007.

Lastly, FIREWALL, besides the war, I hate fish & chips (as everybody else outside the UK), but count me in for the Guiness.

C´mon guys... there are, all over the world, many italian - french - chinese - thai - spanish - so on, so on - restaurants (even argentine steak houses), but not a such thing like a "UK restaurant".

That´s because the world dislikes fish & chips...

(not offense intended, this just an opinion about foods)

Marcantilan - It's not nice to pick on... other people. First they lost the naval race, then their Empire, then their taste buds. All they have left is fish and chips. Leave them their illusions. ;-)

Give me fried halibut and some fries and I'm happy.

I went to London in 1978,what is with you British? You put peas on EVERYTHING!!!! First time in my my life that I had spaghetti with peas on it.

And do any of you Brits know if the "Great American Disaster" is still in business? They made some damn good burgers,but they were eating them with knives and forks...I was eating mine with my hands and they were looking at me like I was some kind of barbarian...lmao

There we go. Just a few lines taken out of context, and we have a pretext for the next war!

This is going to be the main plot of Silent Hunter VI, right?

What I do not understand is why there are so many people apparently so keen to see a war between Argentina and the UK. There are so many other places in the world in such desperate need of curetting.
