Argentina pulls out of Falklands talks

Argentina, which ethnic cleansed it's way into existence, throws a hissy fit because England says that the people who actually live there should have a say over their destiny. And to think, some people think Kirchner is somehow pro democracy.

Hector Timerman has refused to meet representatives of the Falkland Islands government, which Argentina does not recognise as legitimate.
The islanders were expected to tell Mr Timerman that Buenos Aires should respect islanders' rights and leave them in peace.
Mr Timerman had initially asked for a one-to-one meeting with Mr Hague.
In words bound to raise tensions between the UK and Argentina over the issue Mr Timerman said he was sorry that Mr Hague "can't meet without the supervision of the colonists from the Malvinas".
