I lived in UK through her tenure and I still have a grudging respect for her charisma and her abilities, especially in foreign policy. I can't help but think, for example, that she'd have given GWBush & Co a much harder time than Blair did over Iraq.
However, soon after she was first elected I began to realize that many of the virtues I'd been educated with - not being greedy, not to be selfish, help those less well off, you're part of a community etc - were being turned on their head by her pronouncements and policies. I believe that she set the country on course that has not served it well and has blighted generations
Mrs. T was best friends with General Pinochet and considered Nelson Mandela an enemy. Enough said.
