Who was worse: Margaret Thatcher or Tony Blair?

[Nye Bevan]

Similar economic policies, but I cannot even compare defending British sovereign territory from unprovoked invasion by an Argentinian military dictatorship with being W's closest ally in an illegal war that killed hundreds of thousands, and manipulating the intelligence in an attempt to justify it.

1. Thatcher.

2. For the record, Thatcher was a strong advocate of invading Iraq

Saddam must go...It is clear to anyone willing to face reality that the only reason Saddam took the risk of refusing to submit his activities to U.N. inspectors was that he is exerting every muscle to build WMD.

Thatcher praises Blair for standing firm with US on Iraq

Lady Thatcher has used a speech to American conservatives to praise Tony Blair for his backing of President Bush over the need to disarm Saddam's Iraq.
...
But Lady Thatcher struck a different tone from that of Mr Blair, who has repeatedly stressed the importance of the United Nations and collective action.
...
Without naming France or Germany, she lambasted "wealthy nations who have much to offer and much to lose" but chose to "grumble on the sidelines" and fail to act.

Lady Thatcher argued strongly that both Saddam and Osama bin Laden had to be removed. "We still confront today a twin-headed monster of terrorism and of proliferating weapons of mass destruction," she said. "And both those heads must be removed, if the beast itself is to be destroyed."
