Aquino himself admits he has been asked "not to rock the boat." If one calls the State Department to ask for comment on the most recent bombings, one gets the standard entree: "We abhor and condemn the use of violence for political purposes." If one asks the next logical question, namely, does martial law itself not in fact represent the "use of violence for political purposes" or at least repression, you will get the even more prevalent response: "No comment...

This line of reasoning is not only logically flawed, but also quite distressing in its naivete. One need only consider the historical sickness of the Klan to condemn its present actions and philosophy. In the same way, the RCP may be judged by the actions of past adherents of its ideology. McKibben noted the volumes by Lenin and Stalin in the RCP offices. Although promoting an "altruistic" philosophy, these men caused far more death, persecution, and agony than...
