They could do something incredibly idiotic like free the Lockerbie bomber or something, Tecs.

Who? Hugo? Free whom? I'm like, totally confused, Herr Rothstein. Draw me a CD, so that I can follow your fuzzy Logik.

You and AA are more than ready to trash the Monroe Doctrine when it comes to defending the fluttering, caning poms against big, bad Argentina, and now, by the same measure, you can't legally go after Chavez and Putin 69ing.

I also brought in the fact that Hillary might've been slapping the poms around for releasing Lockerbie-boy, as Taranto pointed out.

How is it that I can follow your dots to Holodomor while I have to fill in all the 1-simplices for you, Tecs?

Have you gotten a job with Janet Napolitano?

I thought the Monroe doctrine applies to the Caribbean (and vicinity). OK, OK, if you wanna stretch it, to the Americas. But to a godforsaken island in the middle of the South Atlantic, closer to the South Pole than to Rio, and inhabited only by sheep and poms? Oh, c'mon, Herr Rotweiler, you gotta be kiddin'.

I think it means Europshites out of the Americas.

One more time: the Falklands (and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands) are in the middle of the South Atlantic. Not much to do with the Americas at all, except in the fevered imagination of revanchist Argies. Leo Terram Propriam Protegat!

Homotopic to the middle, I guess.

Who's Leo? DeCaprio?? Lion of the goat?

Those labels are so precise--not. Look up on Google Earth for more precision. And think of the middle of the Atlantic as that long dorsal spine running sort of half-way between the respective land-masses. Sure, Falklands are on this side of the spine, but South Georgia (which the Argies also tried to grab back in the early 1980s) is very close to said spine (and also to Antarctica, by the way).

Leo: it's Latin for Lion (as in "leu"), and it refers to the British lion. How's that for an erudite explanation?

FYI: Islas Georgias del Sur y Sandwich del Sur has the motto El león defiende su territorio.
