I merely wanted to underline how utterly crass your original claim was

It is easy now, with 20/20 hindsight to blame Thatcher for all ills during the Tory years under her stewardship but she led the country at a time when it needed to be led. Thing is I have a personal gripe with Tony Blair my friend. I was part of the invading force that went into Iraq in 2003 and I really do wonder about the whole deal because you see I would like to know why the Kuwaiti government had miles and miles of oil pipelines laid all along the Basra road into Iraq ready for laying up? Opportunism?

Also I'm kind of pissed off that one of my friends never came back.
