Admiring Maggie the Murderess. The New York Post dares to quote one of the most wicked women in the history of the world in her tribute to one of the most evil men of world history, Ronald Reagan.

Margaret Thatcher, the "Iron Lady", "Attila the Hen" (she was also called "Thatcher, Milk Snatcher" for taking away the right of poor British primary-school children to milk!), murdered hundreds of Argentine men, in first declaring a war zone around the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) and then VIOLATING that "war zone" to kill 368 men in a ship that was LEAVING that "war zone" and weren't any longer IN it when her subhuman-scum troops attacked. The British ruling class is subhuman, antihuman SLIME that deserves mass execution.
+
As eloquently expressed at one website, "Thatcher ordered the attack on the Belgrano and effectively launched her cowardly war against a small oppressed nation."
+
The British, tho no longer a world power, were still powerful enuf to defeat little Argentina, less than half their population.

The British captured some 11,400 Argentine prisoners during the war, all of whom were afterward released. Nearly 750 Argentine troops were killed--including 368 in the sinking of the General Belgrano--while Britain lost 256.

+
Mind you, the Argentinians did manage to sink some British ships, and kill 256 Britons who never expected to be killed by 'Third Worlders' and were probably never told that their voluntary military service, undertaken for economic benefits, could actgually end their lives.
+
All this was to "defend" a British imperialist conquest of a small group of nearly-worthless islands in the far South Atlantic.

In 1982 [when Thatcher attacked the Belgrano] the population of the Falkland Islands was 1,800.

The Argentine death toll was some 750 killed by the latter-day British Empire to "defend" a population of 1,800 (a 42% death rate!), which population was NOT threatened with death but only movement from one national sovereignty, Britain's, to another, Argentina's.
+
This same British Empire is the "coalition partner" we are proud to be seen siding with in the mass murder of Iraqis.
+
We, as English-speaking people, are somehow expected to identify with Britain, even tho we HATED Britain when we established our own country and did so ONLY because Britain was MONSTROUS to us and would not recognize us as British. Why on Earth would we identify now with the enemy we hated then, with such passion that we were willing to take up arms at enormous risk and appalling hardship?
+
Oh, that's right. Most of YOU don't have ancestors who served in the Continental Army. I DO. But, then again, most of you don't have ancestors from Britain! So why on EARTH would you identify with the British Empire's rape of a fourth of the world, including abuse of US and the slaughter of some 4,435 Americans in the Revolutionary War?
+
Given that in 1776 the population of what became the United States was only about 2.5 million and in 1790 was under 4 million, we can assume that the population in 1779, midway in the conflict, was about 3.35 million. Thus, a death toll of 4,435 for the six years of the Revolutionary War was the equivalent at today's population of over 397,000 Americans killed by the British!
+
Some 750 Argentines were killed by the British in the Falklands/Malvinas war, the equivalent in U.S. population terms today of 8,333 dead, which is about 2.75 times as many people as the U.S. lost in the September 11th attacks. That attack was extremely traumatic for us, but we did not identify for so much as 2 seconds with our fellow-Americans', Argentinians' loss. Why not?
+
Was the British Empire always our friend? Or was it our worst enemy not just during the struggle for independence but also for the next 100 years? Answer: The British Empire HATED us, and did everything in its power to frustrate us and even destroy us. It worked to keep Canada from us. It worked to keep Central America from us. It sided with the South in the Civil War, and came "this close" (fingers indicating 1/16th of an inch) to recognizing the "Confederate States of America" as the legitimate government of the entire South. It permitted 'private' shipbuilders to produce warships for the South that sank Union ships and killed Union sailors. Even tho it had ostensibly abolished slavery, the British Empire actively sided with the slavers of the South JUST out of spite for the United States, with whom it SHOULD, logically and morally, have sided, in the war against slavery.
+
The British Empire is now and always was SLIME. In its earliest days, it slaughtered literally-uncounted numbers of Welshman, Scotsmen, and Irishmen. Then it widened its field of slaughter to include "Native Americans", actual "Indians" (who are now also Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, and Burmese/'Myanmarese'), and Africans of many present-day nationalities.
+
Today, the British like to be seen as the nice little guy nextdoor, who would never hurt anyone. Too bad that Brits are still killing foreigners wholesale! How many of the deaths in Iraq are produced by British gunfire? Will we EVER know? Or will these figures, like the figures for Iraqis killed by American military force, always be kept from the public?
+
I just want people to know the truth. Ask the Government how many Iraqis we have killed, military and civilians WITHOUT DISTINCTION. Ask how many Iraqis we and the British have killed of people who arose in indignation that we would DARE to invade THEIR country. I want to know. Don't you?
+
Margaret Thatcher is among the most evil women who ever lived. She is at the least equal to the Medici and Borgia murderesses. She was also brutally indifferent to the suffering of the lower clases of her own people (thus the nickname "Thatcher, Milk Snatcher").
+
The New York Post admires Margaret Thatcher. That shows again the evil of the Radical Right. (Responsive to "Thatcher and a Man of Goodwill", June 12, 2004)
