Exactly, so if it was colonized by Spain and Portugal; what is an English colony doing near the shores of Argentina?
Your comment, by the way, has nothing to do with what we were talking about.

We, however, with the benefit of hindsight, can form opinions as to who was right and who was wrong. In my opinion that was the invaders. I wouldn't want to play a game fighting for the side that in my view was in the wrong. I know there are plenty of people who don't mind fighting on the wrong side of a conflict, I don't have a problem with them doing that if they want to, but I personally do not want to do that. |
With 54, true...your are young at heart
Well, its your opinion... i only have to check a world atlas and by a quick glance to Malvinas Islands geographical position its very easy to realize who are the invaders and who are not
