In fact, however, he has reached the inevitable conclusion that his government must some day learn to deal with native Communists, whatever they are called, as a minority body politic. "I believe that if 15 million nationalists cannot handle a couple hundred thousand Communists, then there's something wrong," Thieu has said.
