This is the kind of thing into which we are being led by the incredible view that any sort of negotiation is good per se."

...sight of Communists floundering is a source of malicious merriment. Parodying Nikita Khrushchev's rasping answer to a question about Hungary during his U.S. visit, a columnist for the Indian Express wondered what the Reds were going to do about "the rat Comrade Mao has thrust down the throat of the Communist Party, and which it can neither spit out nor swallow."
