She died on Monday, aged 87, after suffering a stroke.

Thatcher died Monday at the age of 87. She had suffered from dementia, and stayed out of the public eye in recent years. But she remained the role model for female American politicians, even ones who had little in common with her — Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin.

| How Margaret Thatcher Changed Iraq, the USSR, and the Oil Industry Posted: 08 Apr 2013 04:57 AM PDT Margaret Thatcher, who died today at the age of 87, is famous for admonishing US President George H.W. Bush not to "go wobbly" on Iraq after it invaded Kuwait in 1990. She was widely thought (including by Colin Powell, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) to have influenced Bush's resolve. Bush suggested later that he had no intention of going wobbly absent Thatcher's push—but the outcome was the Gulf War, and ultimately Saddam Hussein's ouster a little over a decade later. |
