We've had Guantanamo and the Gulag, and Bush and Hitler before that. Now we have Tony Blair and Osama Bin Laden. Both children of modernity, you see. Oh yes, and there also this: according to Ms Lucia Annunziata...
Bin Laden's success in mounting a military challenge to the only superpower, "the first such Islamic military success in more than 400 years", is analogous to Tony Blair's achievement in rescuing the Labour Party from its moribund state in the 1980s.I invite further analogies based on such tight criteria. Groucho Marx and Jonny Wilkinson? Sue Blackwell and the Selous Scouts? (Thanks: TH.)
