    Prime Minister Thatcher elected to re-capture the islands to uphold the democratic principle (I'm not arguing whether that was justified or not - so I'm not looking for a political debate). If you had asked most Britons where the Falkland Islands were, they wouldn't have had a clue,

    So, it was just like Iraq only with Tony Blair not in drag this time? I am so confused.
