So says Thomas Friedman.[*1]

I suppose he must be referring to this:

So Tom, buddy, how did Tiananmen Square work out? They were all just "kooks" and obstructionists on the Long March towards the Worker's Paradise, weren't they? Acceptable losses, as it were.

Via Matt Welch at Reason Hit & Run[*2] , who rightly labels Friedman's column "despicable."
