Paul,
I tend to see this as well. The Argentinians had a good relationship with the people of the Malvinas (which is probably the correct way to refer to the Falklands with respect to the Argentinians) in the 70's up until the war. There were talks between Britain and Argentina to hand over the islands to Argentina, or at least devolve sovereignty in some sense.
That said, is there some strategic reason for the UK to hang onto the Malvinas/Falklands?
