Where lies Falklands Sovereignity?
Argentina and the UK went to war over the islands in 1982 and now with the discovery of oil in the islands the conflict have resurrected again. The Argentine government has ruled out any military action over the island by trying to use diplomatic means to pressure the UK government into negotiations. I think some things will be different this time around. For one thing, no-one expects another bloody war. However, there's a lot more to this new oil, with Latin American countries solidarity this time, the UK government might find themselves facing the contempt of a whole continent rather than just one nation. Is diplomacy going to be use this time or not and who really owns the Falklands?

kill of civillians in Afghanistan.
ReplyDeleteThe US military has admitted killing 33 civilians in an air strike on a village in Afghanistan in August, far more than it has previously acknowledged.
Following the August 22 attack on Azizabad, in Heart province, the Afghan government claimed that 90 civilians, mainly women and children, were killed. This figure was backed by the UN.
Until now the US has estimated that that no more than seven civilians died in the attack. It launched an inquiry after it emerged that film recorded on mobile phones showed rows of bodies of children and babies in a makeshift morgue.we are not there but recently Nato airtsike killed 27 civillian in afghanistan, why the civillians. President Obama promised to withdraw the American troops if he voted in, but instead of that he sent 30,000 troops to Afghanistan.if another country or third world country did that, the Britain and America will be the first to condem it or even give sanctions to that country.i think this is human right abuse and breach of trust and confident on the Nato troops.
