No. I warned my parents in 1979 that voting for her was a bad idea, and eventually they agreed I was right. Her reign (for that's how she seemed to see it) in the UK was characterised by arrogance, division, anger and strife. Were it not for the Falklands War the Alliance would have kicked her out of power in 1982. I was one of many who celebrated when she finally got the boot. For all the shit that got thrown at him, Callaghan was actually a damn good PM - his own party and their union ties screwed him over, however. He never had a chance really.

It is a terribly expensive debating society that is using some very expensive American real estate The US seem to be thrown between two opposite forces, the isolationnist and the internationalist. UN was created by FDR, right? As long as the UN follows the US, everything's OK, but in case of disagrement UN is a embarrassment. Another proof the ultras don't want allies, but vassals and satellites. Mike Gaskey wrote: This would be funny if I didn't halfway believe you were serious Why not? Some were already trialed with such a charge. That's true at this time the US were the prosecutors. Mike Gaskey wrote: how many in France will stand up to our military if this were attempted? 350 H bombs. It should be enough for the moment.

I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean,when you're going up against a crazed dictator,you wanna have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than 2 years before you guys pitched in against Hitler,but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons

Lets put it this way - the only preson in the UK who was able to put Maggie Thatcher in her place was the queen. That alone makes the monarchy worthwhile ! While Mrs. T started well, sadly she went off the rails and our country paid the price X| The tigress is here :-D

I really am curious because the view here of Ms. Thatcher (at least the view I hold) is at odds with what I've read here. Mike
