I wonder why this article puts the word 'liberated' in quotes, whereas it doesn't do the same for the word invaded?

These islands were taken by force, 900 unarmed people attacked by 9,500 heavily armed troops, the elite of the now disgraced Argentinian military junta, a country that had never bothered to contribute towards their health, the education of their children, the development of their infrastructure. So they turned to the country who had, for protection against armed thugs who believed they could take what they wanted by force.

Little surprise to me that this biased report originates from a known German left wing source.

I too wondered why the subtle bias towards the Argentines. They were the Invaders as Nick says andwere liberated from the invaders by British forces. The inhabitants of the Islands did not want, nor do they now want, to be part of Argentina and theArgies were there only because they used force. They invaded.

Ooooh, so now Deutsch Press is a known damned leftist source? Damn! Shoot the motherf****! Who do they think they are, expressing themselves? Only good conservative, white, anglo-saxons (preferably protestants) should have a say in this world. Shoot the lefty krauts! Besides, being a liberal (aka, a dangerous red commie) is a disease!

Sad. Merely reinforces stereotypes and contributes nothing to reasoned debate.
