But we forget that the same hypocrisy holds sway in the "West".<br /><br />And you give good examples.<br /><br />I fear that Thatcher will down in history as the saviour of democracy and freedom, rather like Winston Churchill having won the war more or less single handed.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
