Even those of you who despise Maggie have to admit she did Britain a favor by helping to keep them out of the Eurozone.

Not really. Cameron went and destroyed the British economy with austerity anyway.

Gordon Brown should be the one credited (or blamed) with keeping us out of the Eurozone.

You guys are literally the only people I've talked to today who even know who she was, let alone anything she did.

"Was she an actress or something?"

What?  They were not even in power by the time she took office, how the hell is that anyone’s fault other than Pol Pots? All the research I did on this one says she made one statement calling them "reasonable", which I agree is incredibly stupid.

Thatcher wasn't responsible for the state of affairs in Chile and South Africa in the eighties, no, but she didn't lift a finger to change any of it and tacitly, and at times vocally, supported it.

Thatcher sent SAS soldiers to Cambodia in 1983 to train Khmer Rouge guerrillas in the country.

So, in other words, she had nothing to do with the genocide or Pol Pot. Thatcher did what Reagan did to the Contras (and that was wrong too).

you can say 'and that was bad too' and be a sincere Reaganist.  Iran-Contra was the essence of international Reaganism.

By giving support to the South African regime, perhaps?
