He cannot say I believe in killing off your opponents when you can get good results by doing so. Instead, Orwell supposes, this professor will say, While freely conceding that the Soviet regime exhibits certain features which the humanitarian may be inclined to deplore Euphemisms betray a lack of conviction. There is no question that there are arguments, brutal arguments, for doing what needs to be done in Yugoslavia. We should kill Milosevic. We need to win this war.

But this administration is unwilling to make these arguments. Hitler moved populations into camps to kill them. Stalin moved populations like I play Risk on my computer. Milosevic is not obsessed with killing all Albanians. I know it would be awkward for this administration to point it out, but this is precisely the kind of person Communist regimes produce.
