Then again, he wasn't all that wise. Cunning, perhaps. One can be evil and cunning just fine, I think; but I have trouble combining "wise and evil."

It was Beria, Stalin's henchman, so's credited with that bit of "payback"--although some of it was mostly "payforward".

It's very much like the Peruvians fascist's "For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law." Opposite sides of the political coin, but you know, while opposite sides what's in the middle is equally part of each side.

I'm in favor of rule of law, not ruling by law.
