Like President Ronald Reagan, her
political soul mate, Margaret Thatcher came to power at a desperate time in her
country's history, when real leadership and bold ideas were most needed. And by
applying conservative principles to the challenges she faced, she was able to
achieve real and lasting success. Then, as today, she faced an extraordinary
set of challenges and a chorus of voices saying her country's best days were
behind it. Thatcher's successes are a comforting reminder of the power of a
bold, conservative vision at work.
