billybob "Show respect".

Why? What respect did she ever show to the rest of the human race? Have you forgotten the way she crushed the miners, or the way she ordered the Belgrano sank - in contravention of the rules of engagement which her own government had established?

Perhaps you've forgoten the time when she held up Pinochet's plane, so that she could give a Spanish armada cannon ball as a token of gratitude for the help that "he" gave "us" in crushing the Argentinians? Yes, the same General Pinochet who staged one of the bloodiest coups in history, when he overthrew the constitutionally elected goverment of Chile and murdered around 30,000 of its people?

Could it be also that you've forgotten the millions who were driven onto the dole by her insane policies? Or maybe you've forgotten the poll tax? Or maybe you've just forgotten the plot.
