I also hold passionately to the belief that genocide is WRONG, and
under no circumstances should it be ignored or tolerated.  By Bertrand 
Russell's argument above, this means there is no rational conviction
behind it.

view him as a great philospher.  His statement sounds like the statement
of a reactionary.
