On a side issue, is "useful idiots" really a phrase developed by American cold war propagandists? If so, they've succeeded with me, because I've alway believed it as being a phrase of Lenin's. So, was the Lenin attribution planted by the CIA or something?
   And, Little Hawk, do you really in all seriousness believe the French should have resisted the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944? Because if you do, I think you're completely barmy. But that is what you've just argued for.
