Argentina Protests Falkland Islands in EU Constitution

(Brussels, Belgium) Through the Argentine Embassy in Brussels, the Foreign Affairs Ministry has officially protested to "European institutions" the inclusion of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and South Sandwich Islands as British Antarctic Territory in the EU Constitutional Treaty.

As I recall, the last time Argentina played this tune, it resulted in a war. Let's hope that the issue doesn't escalate to that level. Nonetheless, the fact remains that the EU Constitution is going to meddle with the authority of individual states to define their boundaries. I don't think that's wise.

Imagine if there were an American Union with a majority of Latin American representation that had the authority to define the boundaries of the U.S. You could probably say goodbye to Texas, California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
