It's the Murder Part...

Matthew Yglesias writes, on the topic of the Bolshevik murder of the czar's family, that: "The problem, as Pipes has written elsewhere, 'is that no omelette has emerged from the slaughter.' The problem is that Bolshevik rule was an absolute disaster, not that the Czar's family was killed."

No, Matthew, the problem is that murder is wrong. It is wrong even if you get a really good government as a result.
