Surely you're not trying to compare the Falklands and Iraq, are you? In the former, we went to war to defend British territory and more importantly, British subjects from occupation by a fascist military junta. In the latter, Iraq posed no threat to us at all (despite being ruled by a bloodthirsty dicatator) and we went to war in order to pursue our foreign policy of meekly trotting behind the yanks. Hardly comparable.
