        I think he was just blowing smoke, I don't see how it can be 
called Stalinist when it was written by Machievelli (sp.) I don't know 
when it was written, a long time ago though. It is impossible to call 
it Stalinist, and I think he means to insult people by calling it that (I 
am sure to many people this would be a complement).  In general 
the ends justify the means becuase the result is always more 
important than how you get it. Actions that do not result in the 
desired results can not be considered means. Suicide bombings, 
do not help, and therfore are not justifyed, they do however have a 
cuase, the root of which is Israel, material conditions etc. etc. etc.
