Such is imperialism.

In this the Argentinians are right. I still remember dear old Soulforged (hope he is well), our Buenos Aires law student, arguing at great length the legal history of the Falklands. The poor guy was right too.
It's just that more overriding sentiments for me are the sheer passage of time and the nature of colonial landgrabbing, most of which can scarcely be undone anymore. And for most Britons, self-determination.
