Reply #70: No, I'm saying what's the difference between colonisation of uninhabited islands

by Spaniards who had spent some time in South America, and by British who had come straight from Britain? I would say none - the Argentinians (independent of Spain for a few years before they claimed the Malvinas) don't have any greater inherent right to the Falklands than the British. So the wishes of the inhabitants should be taken as decisive - and they want to be British.
