Now that Obama's alleged "support" of Muslim extremism has been brought to light, it made me think of which past Western leader truly supported the cause of Middle East terrorism. Namely Thatcher's one billion pound financial and military aid package to Iraq during its eight-year war against Iran.
That allow Saddam to hold off the Iranians and emboldened him to engage in further aggression, which led to the first Gulf War. Obviously much of that weaponry was used against American forces. It's no wonder why Thatcher and Daddy Bush were not good friends.
