Yeah, Argentina is like the North Korea of the int'l debt world: nobody seems sufficiently motivated to actually stop them from violating int'l protocols.

I would think that seizing a major oil company, and then refusing to pay for it, might put this back on the frontburner, though. Especially in Europe. The Spanish seem particularly agitated by it (and rightfully so).
