I don't know why we are concentrating on one of Thatcher's few pragmatically correct decisions. As I long ago argued - Thatcher's decision to order the sinking of the Belgrano was technically a breach of international law because no war had been declared but it was probably the right thing to do. In her shoes I would also have sent the taskforce to defend England's legitimate colony attacked by an illegal invading force. I would also have sunk the Belgrano and as many other Argentinian vessels as possible. If we had destroyed the entire Argentinian navy perhaps the ridiculous and opportunistic colonial ambitions of Argentina would not now be again asserted.

I'm not sure I would have intentionally provoked the entire Falklands incident for the purpose of electoral credibility however.

The disgusting and evil woman committed so many other wrongs.

I do find it amusing how even now I am on the other side of the argument from Mither, even when he is being assailed by our local colonel blimps and the Pharaoh fascist.
