i do beg your pardoni'm having an off day on my spelling it's gradually going down hill, and idi was one of the all time greats.
idi was in fact a complete bastard but the collected broadcasts of idi amin made by john bird have bought me years of enjoyment so i tend use his name whenever a tyrant is called for
