You've got to marvel at the ideological warhorses down at Quadrant
magazine - never let shades of grey get in the way of giving the
"intellectual left" a good kicking...

I particularly like the way they criticise the "left" for its
supposed (universal) support of tryannical communist regimes and
the unwavering support of "democratic capitalist" heroes such as
Thatcher and Reagan. The never mention the support for tyrannical
fascist regimes (Chile, Spain, etc) by those heroes, nor the support
for the mujahiddeen fighting the commos in Afghanistan who have since
morphed into the islamic terrorists that threaten the very existence
of our democratic way of life.

And in an eerie coincidence, the toppling of the democratically elected
government of Chile by a tyrannical US backed fascist military junta
started on September 11, 1973...
