As mentioned in previous posts. The islanders want to remain British, and if they decide to change their minds then the British government will consider the options. Besides [may be wrong here] I remember that the islanders were treated pretty appallingly by the invading force.
As for the oil, don't the two countries have a joint commercial venture in place for both to drill in certain areas???
Besides, who needs another war over the same peice of rock...
I too followed the the conflict in the 80s very closely. As a Brit, it was an interesting conflict for us, unused to fighting without dominant air superiority.
Loving the new series on Channel 4...not sure if they're all based on the same conflict but the last two have been.
