Another Round! Falkland Island

The Bolivian president Evo Morales invited United States to support Argentina in the old “debate” of the Falkland Islands or Islas Malvinas. Today in Cartagena, the South-American president has produced another pain in the neck to the UK, he said: “… Malvinas are of Argentina and of the Americas”.   

The battle to obtain the Falkland Islands, between Argentina and the UK, made a very sad time in the history expressed through a war in 1982 when were killed 649 Argentineans, 255 British and a hundred of suicides from both parts as a result of postwar traumas.

The thing is why they still fight for something that could have had so many peaceful solutions? A very curious thing is that many of the islanders have said that they feel British, their first language is English and even their family names are British too, so what Argentina can do in that situation when people feel identified as part of the UK? Now, why the UK wants such a far island? Falkland Islands are too far from the British coasts, it feels like going back to colonialism times! The UK is and will be one of the strongest countries in the world with or without these islands.

Could be a solution inviting Unite States to this disagreement? If I were the leader of Argentina or the UK, my solution will be letting Falkland Islands to have a decision about if they want to be Argentineans, British or an independent country, because this conflict looks like is going to finish never.
