[SML] The more things change...

[Jeffrey E. Salzberg]

The case could be made  – and, indeed, was made  – that the Falklands 
were a British possession that was attacked by the Argentinians.  In 
fact, you just made that case yourself; "The Falkland Islands" is the 
British name.  Argentina calls them "Las Malvinas".
