And Stern, according to your logic the Canadians should get Alaska, or should they? I wonder if your stance would've been different if the Russians hadn't sold it off to the USA - I don't hear you pleading for sovereignty there, and it was handed over much later than the UK had people living in the Falklands.
I dunno about Alaska, and again I'm not saying that Falklands should be given to Argentina.. can you guys actually read?
