-The Argentine government has demanded renewed talks about the islands, which Argentina calls Las Malvinas. ¿Is this a provocation or the right decision?

The issue of the ownership of the Falkland Islands is one that has been resolved in bitter conflict, therefore the Argentine people clearly continue to feel dispossessed. The recent growth of the Argentine economy, and the the discovery of oil within the Falklands territory has given the debate renewed vigour in Argentina. We are, however, not in the era of Western history when governance of a land is decided by autocratic means, it is decided by the will of the people. It is therefore a decision of the people of the Falkland Islands as to who should govern them and under which nationality they should fall. It is apparent that they wish to remain a British territory.
