Thatcher praises Blair for standing firm with US on Iraq

Lady Thatcher has used a speech to American conservatives to praise Tony Blair for his backing of President Bush over the need to disarm Saddam's Iraq.
The former Prime Minister said she was "proud that Britain stands where we all must stand - as America's surest and staunchest ally".

...

But Lady Thatcher struck a different tone from that of Mr Blair, who has repeatedly stressed the importance of the United Nations and collective action.

"Only America has the reach and means to deal with Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein or the other wicked psychopaths who will sooner or later step into their shoes," she said.

...

Lady Thatcher argued strongly that both Saddam and Osama bin Laden had to be removed. "We still confront today a twin-headed monster of terrorism and of proliferating weapons of mass destruction," she said. "And both those heads must be removed, if the beast itself is to be destroyed."
