no double standard, i was stating a fact if you do not like it, tough, she did go to war when her electoral stock was falling.
you wish to read things in to my post that is your problem, here is another fact thatcher was not concerned about going to war with pinochet, another fascist who overthrew a democratically elected regime., was she? she chose to fight argentina for a number of reasons other than fighting fascism, does it not occur to you that there were other reasons as well as protecting the people of the falklands,for instance, the word OIL.
THERE COULD YET BE ANOTHER WAR WITH ARGENTINA ABOUT OIL.rather acenntuates my point about unecessary closing of coal mines and going to war for natural resources.
