	The Falklands War (1982) / La Guerra de Las Malvinas (1982)
		The Falkland Islands are a group of islands in the south Atlantic.
		The government of the Falkland Islands administers the British dependent territories of South Georgia, the South Sandwich Islands, and the Shag and Clerke rocks, lying from 700 to 2,000 miles (1,100 to 3,200 km) to the east and southeast of the Falklands.
		Argentina based its claim to the Falklands on papal bulls of 1493 modified by the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494), by which Spain and Portugal had divided the New World between themselves; on succession from Spain; on the islands' proximity to South America; and on the need to end a colonial situation.

	Falkland Islands - Diving in Falklands - information & pictures
		If the Falklands are reputed for their wild life and their great virgin spaces, they are much less known for the practice of diving.
		The most special feature of the Falklands waters is the kelp, a kind of algae of diverse size and form which is thick and robust.
		In conclusion it is not possible for us to give a clearly defined opinion on diving in the Falklands which is mixed for us, with the disappointment of not being able to observe much underwater life and with a visibility often mediocre.

		This settlement is easily the most populated isle after Stanley and has 100 inhabitants.
		On the 14th June Major General Jeremy Moore, commander of the British forces, signed with General Mendes the document of the surrender of all the Argentinian forces in the Falklands, the only concession to Mendes being that the word “unconditional” before “surrender” was erased.

		But this is indeed the Port Howard airport, gateway to West Falkland, an island with hundreds of thousands of sheep and 150 humans, where general stores open for a few hours a week and people make their own spare parts.
		The Falkland Islands are remote by any measure, sitting in the South Atlantic 8,000 miles from Britain and 400 miles from Argentina.
		That is where the government comes in, with plans to ensure the viability not only of West Falkland but also dozens of islands, some of which have just one resident famous for their multi-tasking talents.

	Comment of the week
		It is time for the forces of sanity in Israel to regain their voice, and to ensure that the Palestinian officials who have expressed unreserved agreement with what Mr Bush has said are required to live up to their rhetoric.
		Most people in the United Kingdom, on the other hand, were only vaguely aware of the existence of the Falkland Isles and, until the invasion, I do not believe that most people cared very much what happened in this far-flung remnant of what had once been the world's most extensive empire.
		One imagines that there were some British Foreign Office diplomats who were more than a little 'disgruntled' that the Argentinian invasion had spoiled the cosy plans they had been developing with their Argentinian counterparts.

		We're unhappy that they still claim the islands but that doesn't mean we're hostile to Argentinians, we're hostile to their government's policy.

		The Falkland Islands are remote by any measure, sitting in the South Atlantic 8,000 miles (13,000 km) from Britain and 400 miles (640 km) from Argentina.
		By the time the red plane comes over the hilltop and glides toward the green grass, it is all too clear why Falkland Islanders maintain that "The West is best".
