That's why they are called useful idiots

Useful idiots, traitors, the near enemy, leftards if you will; the jihadis laugh at them. The rest of us? We have to pay.

When I was still a member of what is probably best termed the British Jihadi Network - a series of British Muslim terrorist groups linked by a single ideology - I remember how we used to laugh in celebration whenever people on TV proclaimed that the sole cause for Islamic acts of terror like 9/11, the Madrid bombings and 7/7 was Western foreign policy.

By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this "Blair's bombs" line did our propaganda work for us.

Drink-soaked Trotskyite Popinjay, The Plump has a more sophisticated analysis than that offered by my introductory line. He also links to Tony Blair's welcome - if much too late - dismissal of muslim grievance. Mr. Blair, this might have been more useful coming from you on July 8 a couple years ago. Still, better late than never.
