Pretty cool. That Falklands Islands fandango was all about a great British PM (Maggie Thatcher) with strength of will and principle refusing to sell-out a small group of British subjects and a few thousand British sheep halfway around the world. It was also one of the best examples of the decisive difference that resourceful and innovative logisticians can make in amilitary campaign.

Although he's Labour and not a Conservative like Thatcher, I greatly admire Tony Blair for the way he has stood by this country. We have no better friends in the eastern hemisphere than the Brits.

Anybody know of a good book on the Falklands war? I was in undergrad nite skool at Tulane, and some guy walked into class wearing a t-shirt that said something like "Las Malvinas (the Argies name for the Falklands) est Argentinas!" I must say I found his "argument" bereft of moral force and just another anti-Anglo blurb. Ahhm but Maggie was a fine one; now THERE's a woman who could have gotten elected POTUS . . . maybe without even being American ;)

The Battle for the Falklands by Max Hastings, Simon Jenkins, Paperback, September 1984 - Amazon.com...it's Brit of course, so not completely objective, but I used it to develop a course I taught at Leavenworth on post-WWII air campaigns. Its quite well written.

Thanks, bud. I'll look it up. Looks like it could be good motel-room reading on an upcoming soccer road trip.
