Tony Blair or Margaret Thatcher ? Which one was Worse ?

i think the 2nd BUsh was worse than Reagan. i think not having the UK support for the war in Iraq might have been the one thing to help prevent it other than Bush just not being in office.

She pushed Bush Sr. into the first gulf war paving the way for Jr. to finish the job. Tony Blair was just a spineless twit.

Her military endevours were a last ditch effort to relieve the "glory" days of Anglo supremacy.
Blair is a tool who took orders from the neo-cons, he did do some good on the domestic front though.
