...Communists-the group which the Americans and the Greek Colonels want to suppress. If the junta remains in power for a long time, a Communist guerrilla war will be inevitable. Hence. U. S. policy is not only immoral and oppressive, but foolish from its own self-serving point of view...

But Rubenstein also runs some risk of being misread. Sloppily read by others, he might seem to be saying: "Violence is good for you; relax...
