<Puleaze. Let's not go making comparisons between the Iron Lady and
Hussein.>
I dunno ... megalomaniac, egotistical warmongering dictator... and
Hussein is quite nasty too.
I can say that British engineers designed the hangers for Saddam's
air force, and of course, the notorious 'super gun' was part engineered by
the UK (working partly with British intelligence service
involvement, although they later ended up in court once the shit hit
the fan...).
Thatcher is loathed by more people than she's loved by the UK, I'd
say. I think there may well be street parties when she dies (if she ever
does die... and there's some doubt about that).
