"One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions.. free elections and freedom from political oppression. The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority
forcibly imposed upon the majority. It relies upon terror and oppression...fixed elections, and the suppression of
personal freedoms. I believe it must be the policy of the United States to support free people...resisting
attempted subjugation (control] by armed minorities or by outside pressures." —Harry Truman, 1947
