Off topic, but June 14th is the 30th anniversary of the fall of Stanley, ending the Falklands war. The issue seems to be heating up again, with jingoism coming from both sides (mostly Argentina, though). It was brought up at the Summit of the Americas recently, putting the USA in an awkward position. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/ni...ith-argentina/

Argentina also made this ad for the London Olympics:



Morrissey, Roger waters, and Sean Penn also expressed support for Argentina recently.

IMO its the only justified war Britain/England has ever waged.

I watched 'Storming Juno' tonight (available on iTunes). Very powerful thinking about 68 years today what sacrifices were made.
Hard not to shed a tear when you hear the vets talk about their experiences.
Thank you. Sincerely.
