My dear fellow, how do you manage to restrain your urge for vigorous,
competitive disputation? To educate those poor benighted stooges out
there, as they stagger, lost, in hopeless and hapless search for
their missing Stalin? To teach them the error of their ways? To
convince them through the light of reason and argument that Pol Pot
was really not the kind of fellow you would like to have choosing the
wine for your society's annual dinner? To remind them that the fact
that Galtieri threw people out of airplanes is not a reason to
applaud when Li Peng crushes people under tanks?

I am lost in admiration, I tell you...
