They would make excuses for his latest excesses as capitalist propaganda etc, while he got on with trying to rule the world. Today useful idiots are of course Osama Bin Lid's useful idiots. Those whose modus operandi is to blame the west for the ills of the world and of the Middle East in particular in this case. Today in the that great bastion of free speech The Guardian, Tariq Ali joins esteemed columnists such as Gerry "I was never in the Ra" Adams, Martin "I'm not in the Ra anymore" McGuinness and of course feminist icon Osama Bin whateverthefuck.

Just some small details really.
