New Files Show Margaret Thatcher Was At Odds With US On Iran
Huffington Post / Robert Barr 30-Dec-2010 (2 comments)

Thatcher memos
by Simorgh5555 on Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:19 AM PSTThe memos prove interesting because it challenges the long standing opinion that Carter was too weak willed and keen to appease the terrorist occupying regime once it took power in 1979.
If these memos are accurate Carter should have rejected Maggie Thatcher's advice and trust his instincts and attacked the IR.
