So countries are like witches. They can't cross water? Well, either way, it still doesn't make sense given that the Falklands is across an ocean, and an entire hemisphere. Unless there's some form of "island hegemony" in play. Kind of like Guam, eh? Is a nearby government saying "It's ours you prick!" to the USA? No? Then no, it's not like Guam. So colonialism isn't controlling a foreign territory and not allowing them participation in the democratic process but denying Argentinians oil? Ok. Guam is welcome to join the political process... they have a rep in the senate (among other things) and are relatively autonomous. Federal Taxes collected on the island go to the local government, rather than the Feds. They have enough people that if they they could go and become a state, but they don't want to.
Sounds a lot like the Falklands, then.
Well, apart from the fact that the representative of Guam is just an observer.
I just wanted in on whats shaping up to be a hell of a quote pyramid.
