I still think we should have threatened Argentina with Nukes if they did not withdraw. Why have them if they are no use to us?
The Falklands were a political success, though probably not if you were one of the maimed, or a widow or orphan, of those who were killed.

War should be a last resort, when all diplomacy has failed, and as you say, when all other avenues have been exhausted, such as threats, trade sanctions etc.
