How about asking the Falkland islanders what they want?

IIRC they wanted nothing to do with Argentina when they invaded in 1982.

However, if it were to happen again, one group would be delighted. The Gurkahs were sorry to miss the action - it was all over by the time they got there!

Read Max Hastings' The Falklands War. Some Argie sentries woke up with their partners' throats cut. An old gurkha technique.
