Argentina snubs Falklands service.



Britain expressed its regret yesterday after Argentina rejected an invitation to a joint commemoration service in London to mark the 25th anniversary of the 1982 Falklands conflict.
Jorge Taiana, Argentina's foreign minister, rejected the invitation on Monday, about three months after it was presented to Argentina's embassy in London.
"They have given it the character of a victory celebration and, given that, we cannot take part," Mr Taiana said during a visit to South Africa. "We consider the Malvinas to be an archaic colonial situation and in the 21st Century the persistence of this situation is difficult to explain."

(RG) It is disappointing that Argentina rejected the hand of reconciliation, perhaps its down to their proud Latin American spirit, or perhaps they are going to try and retake the Islands as history does seem to be repeating its self with savage naval cuts and an overstretched armed forces. Lets hope those Rapiers are up and running. Those APACHES look the business.

    I think its only concern about the Americans that keeps them from trying again.

    Either give the Navy the equipment or negotiate some deal - the half way house is inviting disaster.
