If the guy wanted to make a statement he should have stood in front of the Military Cemetery on the Falklands, where all the Argentinian soldiers are buried and demand to know why the government of Argentina refused (and still refuses) to repatriate their war dead!

Meanwhile, Kirchner laughs about the whole episode.

The Argentines probably shouldn't try to aggravate the Brits

A father of one of my daughter's team mate on the soccer team fought in the Argentine army. He said it was the most frightening thing he ever experienced. Shelling from artillery was the worst but the thing that really led to their "agreement to stop hostilities" was that the commanders had been informed that the , 7th Duke of Edinburgh's Own Gurkha Rifles were high or drunk and killing people. It was propaganda I'm sure that the Brits didn't discourage, but it must have been a hell of a fight.

Lots of bravery on both sides, but it was war and the Brits won that one.

I'm not sure that the Argentines want to do another round of this. Once the Brits grab onto a bone and get their nose bloodied, they're nasty bastards. I'm not even bringing the Gurkhas into the mix. But who'd want to screw with those bloody little buggers.
