    Not according to the eulogies I've heard this morning. Seems to have been universally liked and respected. I'm sure you know better though...

    Repeatedly voted for war in Iraq, said she would throw herself under a bus for Tony Blair and repeatedly tried to block the investigation into the Iraq war.

    Its amazing how nice all politicians become once somebody dies. If Jeremy corbyn died tomorrow Theresa may would be praising him

    Not the place? Because this is tessajowell.Com is it?

    People had no problem with burning effigies of Margaret thatcher when she died or of singing ding ding the witch is dead but stating somebody who's had a few hundred grand deposited in her family bank account from corrupt activities was corrupt is crossing the line? OK then

    At the end of the day she just seemed a genuinely nice human being & putting all political differences aside that's surely all that matters. RIP.....

    I'm not saying you're right or wrong just that the woman has just died .Out of respect it could have waited.

    Killing many more thousands of innocent people was clearly not the answer. Those lessons though have clearly not been learned with Libya and Syria.

    Amazing that we’re the worlds police with certain countries but the Saudis, Israelis, Turks, etc etc are all well and good. Maybe it’s to do with the fact that they buy our weapons.

    Iraq was a disgraceful intervention.

    Like we did previously mmm..... What we should have done is not backed america in the first place.... that same america who first of all backed hussain and gave him the weapons ie gas in the first place to rid a regime that wouldnt play ball with the yanks then when he refused to play by their rules they got rid of him....we didnt here the press or the powers at hand kicking up a storm about that 1st issue did we..maybe the thread as been hijacked by political issues....yes its sad when someone passes but lets face it theres going to be for and against...for both sides of the argument...but come on lets get real about this ...break it all down trace it back..the USA are the ones who are creating and have created the problems we are see today....protecting the dollar as the main trading currency...the powers at hand control whats taking place....

    Do you know that to be true... funny how all our enemy's go round gassing innocent people. When they've absolutely nothing to gain by doing in so...
    Except give us the excuse in invade and bomb.. and cause more innocent death by the thousand.

    If you're trying to ascribe rational thinking like that to Saddam Hussein.......why did he invade Kuwait?
