Britain will not invite Argentine President Cristina Fernandez to Margaret Thatcher's funeral next week in a snub likely to deepen a long-running diplomatic dispute over the Falkland Islands. ...
A government source told Reuters that every country with whom Britain enjoys "normal" diplomatic relations was being invited to Wednesday's funeral, but Thatcher's family had objected to Fernandez attending.
Face it, Fernandez--obsessed with the Falklands--would only go to make sure the Iron Lady was really dead. Last respects would have nothing to do with attending the funeral.
One more reason to to raise a glass to the lady.
