David Cameron must return Falklands to Argentina, Cristina Kirchner demands in open letter - Telegraph

   Sounds like a way to divert domestic attention from other problems as Argentine President Cristina Kirchner has openly demanded British Prime Minister David Cameron return the Falkland Islands to Argentine control.
    It's been a simmering dispute since 1833 and led to a war a couple of decades back when Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher dispatched the Royal Navy to push back the South Americans. The Brits won in a brief but fierce fight.
     It is a bit of a remnant of days gone by, this colonial outpost nearly 10,000 miles from London, but these things are like school district boundaries. Once in place, you don't go messing with them.
     By the way, Mr. Cameron has told Ms Kirchner to go.....no, he just refused the demand actually.
