The "Red menace" in the Western Hemisphere has been crushed! Little Guatemala is once again a colony of the United Fruit Company!.. Crimes of this kind are defended in the name of anti-Communism by the very same people who dare to accuse the Communists of believing that the end justifies the means. (G. Green, ‘The Enemy Forgotten’, ch. III) — Сегодня мы все можем спать спокойно. "Красная опасность" в Западном полушарии сокрушена! Маленькая Гватемала опять стала колонией "Юнайтед фрут компани"!.. Преступления этого рода оправдываются во имя антикоммунизма теми самыми людьми, которые смеют обвинять коммунистов в следовании принципу: цель оправдывает средства.
