I've had the 'pleasure' of spending many months in the Falkland Islands (9 to be exact). One thing stood out about the local population and that was their complete conviction in the right to self-determination and for them that meant remaining British.
Taking out the political element (and god knows i'd rather be justifying Thatcher/FI than Blair/Iraq) then it boils down to whether we should abandon our own citizens in the face of aggression from a foreign power. For me it is right to defend our own soil and our citizens rather than abandoning them through fear and cowardice. |

EDIT: My point being (which I forgot to make) is that we didn't steal it from anybody as there was nobody there before us. There is thought to have been no indigenous population before French and English colonies were established. |
