Hi Everybody,
I think we must come to a rapid conclusion here. Governments are not nice. The people behind them are definately not nice.
Whenever a government of a country spends $$billions to help save a piece of land with a sparse population, it has nothing to do with doing a good deed. There is ALWAYS some alternative reason.
We can see that clearly with the hundreds of $$millions of dollars going to Haiti, which has a population of 10 million people.

Did you know that Haitians are paid only $5 a day to dig the rubble where their poorly built houses once stood? What does Haiti have that is so valuable?

So this brings me to Las Malvinas (err the Falkland Islands) which, at the time of the conflict between Great Britain and Argentina had a population of only 1 800 (10 000 if you include the sheep).
There were more than 1 000 lives lost during the conflict, including the crew of HMS Sheffield and defensless Argentine youngsters all in the name of 'Right to Sovereignty'.

Why would a government spend $$billions when they could solve the problem by offering $$millions to the British people living there to move? It really just doesn't make economical sense.... or does it?
Suprise, suprise Haiti has massive oil reserves which the US has known about for around 15 years and was 'saving' for when the Midlle Eastern oil has run out and just a coincidence, there have been massive oil reserves found of the coast of Las Malvinas (err the Falkland Islands).

But honestly, why is anybody suprised?
