[quote]A recorded conversation between an apologetic Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher over the invasion of Grenada has been published for the first time.
"We regret very much the embarrassment that's been caused to you," the US leader said during the call.
Baroness Thatcher was angered that she was not consulted before the Americans invaded a Commonwealth state.
United States troops were sent to Grenada in 1983 to topple the Caribbean island's Marxist regime.[/quote]

What a guy.
Really cool to see a 'behind the scenes' look on high-tier politicians overseas talking with each other though. Given how it was a private conversation it feels a lot more genuine than if it'd been a public thing.
R.I.P relevant discussion, you lasted less than an hour
I wonder how much energy it takes to power the huge light bulb on that guys shoulders

I love how Thatcher responds to him invading like: "It's ok, how are you?" Lol.
I find it interesting how two of the most conservative heads of state in Britain and America (Reagan and Thatcher) were both in power at the same time, and were soon followed by two of the most liberal heads of state (Clinton and Blair) who were, again, in office simultaneously.

clinton and blair were hardly liberal. clinton was a wall street goof and blair was basically a tory with a labour paintjob.

John major came after thatcher he was conservative I think its also stretching somewhat it to call Blair "one of the most liberal heads of state".
As for the presidents they're pretty conservative as far as I'm concerned, that would be like comparing 2 different shades of black.
