It's true, when you stop to think, that Reagan and Thatcher didn't get the credit they deserved for strangling communism by the sole force of their steely resolve.

I should think the whole of Europe should be full of giant Reagan and Thatcher statues. Why don't we start a petition?

hear hear! i vote for a 20 footer of newt gingrich somewhere prominent in central rome, perhaps in the colosseum?

a nice nude of pat buchanan would look fetching outside the houses of parliament on the thames bank too.

why stop there? reagan memorials should be on postal stampage, coinage, currency banknotes anywhere we can feel the trickle down of his blessed era.

You could make a fortune with the rotten fruit concession stand nearby.

(of course not as big a fortune as if you had the actual politicians)

Well, I think that there would be a kind of symmetry to putting up statues of Ronnie and Maggie.  After all, don't you need something to replace the statues of Lenin and Stalin?

All would be best.  It would also be a jobs program, as new statues of all four would need to be made. What is not to like?
