The phrasing of the statement, in fact, leads one to suspect that in the eyes of its signers, communism is the worst of all evils, the elimination of which justifies almost any amount of cruelty: "putting the matter succinctly," they applaud American policy in Southeast Asia for having "bought time for some 200 million people to develop without their being ceaselessly confronted with combined external-internal Communist threats...
