Hi SteveX,
I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. The object of the post was not to declare that the area around the south eastern tip of Argentina has recently struck oil, but to state that governments don't rally round and 'save' people just to save them. The governments only intervene if there are bigger fish to fry.
By the way, I can see a little patriotism seeping through in your post. Or could I be wrong? Although There is nothing wrong with that, I am all for it actually, governments are not too excited about the principle, just look around you and you will see.
Best regards,
Steve

The handy thing about the FALKLANDS ISLANDS is that, not only are they BRITISH, they make a good staging post for the extraction and conveyance of oil. LONG standing BRITISH administration is set to reap the rewards for having the longest and largest settlements there.
Until the BRITISH on the BRITISH FALKLAND ISLANDS are bought off or vote themselves off, then the legalised ISO name of the FALKLAND ISLANDS will remain.
