But there is nothing to be resolved diplomatically, so how can a resolution be achieved if there is nothing to discuss?

The only thing that is worth discussing is why Argentina isn't kicking Barclays out of the country and approaching Brazilian (or other South American) Banks to help sort out their debt issues.

Another issue worth discussing is why the current Argentinian Government appointed a British bank to assist them when they obviously have such a deep disregard for Britain as I am sure the IMF would be better friends.

I did say Argentine Gov.. who by the way nearly ended up indicted themselves over the whole appointing Barclays to lead them back on the sovereign debt market. A move that means they can full-fill their promise to pay down the debt they owe to the likes of the Paris Club (big chunks in the $bns to Germany, US and Japan)

A really cynical person might connect the dots between the comments coming out of Argentina at the moment, and the fact that they are not able (in light of the current economic climate) to full fill their promise to the Paris Club, a failure that leaves them with the IMF wolves at the door.

And a really really cynical person might think given these types of transactions flow through the city of London that it was actually in all parties (and nations) interests that Britain stay out of the whole EU translation tax. (I feel we are being played from all angles)

And then there is me, who feels that if there are those that want a p*ssing match I'm going to join in since I am sick of being told by some how evil we are, when it seems to me that if some bothered to read between the lines they might see that if Argentina wasn't working closely with the City of London it would be in a far worse shape.
