"Klein moves on to how Thatcher used the Falklands war as a cover for forcing unpopular right-wing policies on Britain. "

The usual Klein.

The Falklands War was started by Argentina invading the Falkland Islands.End of.

The Fact Thatcher dragged the British out of the welfare state war or not was going to cause riots( which it did) and move the left of left Labour to the right( or centre left) which it also did.


As far as Free market Cap v Communism, a balance is preffered as you have drawn.The problem is maintaining that balance.Who has to fight for the pie and who is given the pie?

The only countries that seem to have a real hate on for the US or the West are those Muslim countries or despotic regimes who are still economically stunted by centuries of Theocratic rule and former Communist states.Left behind in the rush to progress and relying on the Wests addiction to oil, yet cant generate the necessary Engineering skills among the people to build a refinery.Lazy nation thinking and arrogance.It is not the fault of the West that leaders are despotic.

There is a reason the USA is a superpower.Complete unfeterred freedom of thought, expression, invention and capitalism.A nation of immigrants who put a man on the moon.

Why do Iran,Syria,North Korea, China,Libya, and a dozen other despotic countries hate us?

The list of offended itself should explain and dismiss why I could care less.
