I really don't. I haven't even worked up the motivation to snark at the morans who are screeching that Margaret Thatcher won the Cold War. Which is, of course, bullshit. The economic foundations of the Soviet Union were rotten, a fact that had been known by serious analysts for at least decades before Thatcher came to power. They were spending 25% of their GDP on their military. That's doable in wartime, but not for the long haul.
The USSR was going to come apart sooner or later. If a house is termite-infested and about to fall down, credit for destroying the house doesn't go to the clown who kicked down a wall. But that's how the Right sees it, I guess.
Best comment about Thatcher wasn't mine: To honor her memory, take away your kid's milk and call Nelson Mandela a "terrorist".
Yeah, I got nothing.
