On this day in 1981, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher reacted to news of the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who had been gunned down the day before.
Sadat's legacy was complex and controversial. His efforts to reach a peace agreement between Egypt and Israel earned him widespread admiration among Western leaders, as did his "pivot" towards the West and away from the Soviet Union in the Cold War. The same moves, however, brought him enemies. He was assassinated on 6 October 1981 by a group of Sunni Islamist Jihadists who opposed his peace treaty with Israel.

It's strange to see an actress pretending to be prime ministerial. She knows very well a friend to the west it not necessarily a friend to their local populace.

This would have been the case for the Shah however, given his reputation as a reforming moderniser who despite all his achievements was still backstabbed by his western "friends".

Acting chameleon, absolutely dangerous, fortunately still clearly visible 10 miles away...

The Shah was not a friend of the west. He was a friend of Western politicians, but not the west.

He developed his country’s economy faster than almost any other leader in the 20th century, turning Iran into a real trading partner. His secret police suppressed communists, some might say excessively, but more importantly they suppressed what turned into the Khomeiniite element that ended up ruling the country. I fail to see how any of this hurts the average westerner, unless you’re so myopic as to believe that Mossadegh was some kind of messiah who would have turned Iran into a paradise at the small price of being a Soviet puppet.
