I think the Argies started that war when they invaded territory held by Britain for a century, settled by British people who were almost 100% in favor of British rule. Do you really think she should have done nothing, or that any other prime minister would have done differently?

From memory I think only 2 or 3 people living there were against remaining British.

 
It should be pointed out RE: the Falklands, that more Japanese have lived on the island than Argies.

And Thatcher was a tory spiv shite

 
I thought she was one of the best prime ministers. One of the very few who did what she thought was right and not what was popular.

In that regard, she would probably be considered a good prime minister. I've just never agreed with some of her policies, but that's probably an issue that is due to the fact that I'm pretty far on the left on most topics. I've always liked LBJ, and respected his decisions to take risks, such as the civil rights act, and as such can see how someone on the right can view Thatcher with similar regards.
