Neither Britian nor Argentina ought to have a say in the descisions of the people living there. And those you can't blame or steal their homes for the mistakes and maybe criminal behaviour of some admirals several generations ago.

No. Argentina received the Malvinas from Spain in 1811 when it became independent, it's a FACT. The fact that in the meantime British colonies had settled in and kicked out the Argentinians is irrelevant and should be treated as an invasion.
As I said, the ideal solution would be for both countries to let go and let the Falklands be an independent reality. Listening to the majority of the inhabitants, who are of British descent for obvious reasons, is a bit biased, don't you think?
