No, I am saying that there was a valid reason to intervene in The Falklands (not sure of the Belgrano obscenity); but the sight of a Prime Minister strutting around in paramilitary uniform had more to do with winning votes than it did winning a war - and it was a rather symolically telling image, don't you think?
Anti-fascism had nothing whatever to do with Thatcher's motives - she supported mass-murderer Augusto Pinochet to the extent of pleading for his release from house arrest and his return to Chile.
I agree with your earlier statement - lets open a thread where you can support them both - should you wish to, of course.
