Flavius,
RE:
"This thing about the British "surrendering" suggests that you think they shouldn't have stopped until they got to Buenos Aires, much as you have said about the first Gulf War. Am I wrong?"
It is dangerous to assume what I think, Flavius (chuckle).
In a word...no that is not what I was talking about.
The blow-by-blow account of the conflict will explain the truth of my statement.
"So after the Brits surrendered and then caused the Argentinians to do the same, I say there were no clear "military winners" because a lot of folks died for political stupidity and it is redily apparent that the sheep have inherited as is often the way with the meek, if you know what I mean."

@ Flavius,
I tend to choose my words well for a reason.
"victory" for whom? politicians, or people?
Perhaps you misunderstood that "victory" may be defined as a lasting peace for all intents and purposes.
So long as militaries are not beating the snot out of each other, that may be defined as a "victory" for the people of both nations, eh?
The pattern I've noted may hold true in many cases of conflict.
Maybe it's just human nature that is to blame.
As for "evading the question" I rather think I posed a very important one arising from observation, the answer to which may be essential to conflict resolution in general.
I pose "no complaint without solution".
(chuckle) Try the CTBT thread, there's a party in the making, and you're invited.

Eric, I appreciate your reply to my last post regarding the function of Dipnote. I didn't see it until today due to SNOWMAGEDDON, or as some called it, SNOWTORIUS B.I.G. There was a lot of Dipnote that went under the bridge during that time, so our discussion got lost in the blizzard. I had to go digging to find it, much as I had to dig for the car, the mailbox, and that Saturday paper that got delivered just before three inches an hour.
This does not mean, however, that I'm going to go easy on you from here on out. Nor you I, or so I hope. :)
Cheers.

You have evaded the question. You stated:
"I don't know why it is that it seems inevitably constant that conflicts with no clear military winner come back to haunt the parties involved, and the Argentine/UK dust-up over the Faulklands is but the most recent example of this pattern of probability noted."
Please define "clear military victory" in the case of the last Falklands war. Clear. Military. Victory. For either side.
I know why Argentina went to war the last time, Thank you for reexplaining it to me.
This thing about the British "surrendering" suggests that you think they shouldn't have stopped until they got to Buenos Aires, much as you have said about the first Gulf War. Am I wrong?
Would you have stood with MacArthur in Korea and Patton in Germany? We "certainly" could have avoided all the ugliness of the past sixty five years if we had just gone "all the way" as they both suggested.
How I long for an emperor...

Flavius,
Go back in time as far as you wish and look through the history, the Faulklands has been problematic for all who've laid claim to it. It wasn't for sheep the military junta invaded, but to bolster popular opinion through nationalism. Nothing like a good little war to distract from their failings. In the end it didn't save them politically.
So after the Brits surrendered and then caused the Argentinians to do the same, I say there were no clear "military winners" because a lot of folks died for political stupidity and it is redily apparent that the sheep have inherited as is often the way with the meek, if you know what I mean. I think the folks that live there now might just agree.
Who owns what is not the definition of victory, but whether the peace is kept well may be the definition you seek. Then there's the simple solution I proposed which might secure that peace, once and for all. That is if they actually find oil from the exploratory drilling that's being done.
Best to find agreement between the parties before they find any oil I think.

Please define victory conditions for either side in Falklands War which would settle the issue once and for all.
It seems to me that the Brits pretty much won that one. Argentines invade, get kicked out, sue for peace.
The only way the Argentines would have given up their claims to the Malvinas would have been the destruction of Argentina. This is a national issue for Argentina. It is in their constitution for heaven's sake. Oil brings things to a head rather more quickly than sheep, but they did it in the eighties for sheep without knowing whether there was oil there or not.
Moreover, the Argentines don't give a whit about what the residents of the Falklands/Malvinas think. The Argentines give a legal argument on the web. Last I heard, however, Falklanders are near 100% pro British.
The only way this gets resolved for Argentina is for the Falklands to become the Malvinas. Or if Argentina ceases to exist.

I don't know why it is that it seems inevitably constant that conflicts with no clear military winner come back to haunt the parties involved, and the Argentine/UK dust-up over the Faulklands is but the most recent example of this pattern of probability noted.
Ok, my solution is simple...share the wealth.
BP (or whoever the UK contracts) extracts the oil, and builds a refinery in Argentina, so both governments may create jobs and profit economicly.
Hopefully funding ecological restoration projects out of this as a very "intended concequence" of reinvestment capability and partnership.
That way I think the soveregnity of both can save face.
So as to not provoke mutual resentment, or their public's.
I'll leave it at this, because the details are in the hands of others, if they choose that path.
The other leads them nowhere quickly.
