UK hackers have attacked an Argentine online video game recreating scenes from the Falklands War and allowing players to shoot British "terrorists".
Argentine company Dattatec.com this week launched a "map" for popular online first person shooter game Counter Strike pitting Aattack was 5 Gbps in strength - the equivalent of 5,000 PCs connecting to the sites at the same time every second - but our technical team was able to block it effectively.
"British military forces would be unable to retake the Falkland Islands were Argentina to invade"
"The truth is we couldn't defend anything further than the other side of the Channel at this point."

I suggest you move to Argentina, and see how much you like it. be sure to send us a post card from the land of the embattled, impotent and crippled governmental bureaucracy and disillusionment that De Kirchner has inflicted on the Argentine. So much so that any one now going out of the country is only allowed to APPLY to withdraw $100 to take with them. FACT.
This is a bankrupt nation, with questionable motives. Don;t believe it, come to Latin America and we'll show you.
While you at it, why don't you support La Raza, in our struggle to evict the usurpers from the northern Mexican states of California, Taxas, Nuevo Mexico, Arizona y Nevada????
You don't have the slightest idea do you?

Doesn't the opinion of the people living on that island come into account at all??

The people living on the Falkland Islands do not want to be Argentinian. They want to be UK citizens.

I think you're mistaking the effort required to re take the islands once they've fallen with defending them in the first place.
I'd educate you but you don't want that. You're one of the happily ignorant.
