Hi Pearly Button; Re (Falklands war): "LOL, well they also "left" a massive force of ships and an army too. -g-" It was an Argentine scrap merchant on the abandoned island of South Georgia that got the thing going. It's possible that it would have happened anyway (at some later time), but it was the scrap merchant that started Britain and Argentina sending nasty diplomatic notes to each other. I call that pretty trivial: ... The Junta was under pressure and by a stroke of fate the Malvinas Issue was headline news at the time because of the actions of an Argentine businessman Davidoff who had landed at South Georgia and had been asked to leave by Britain. ... freenetpages.co.uk -- Carl P.S. I'm glad to see FaultLine keeping the thread from getting too far off topic. I only hope that the Lord skips over me, or forgives me my trespasses, as the Whirlwind scours the desert.
