The enemy (read: Stalin) of my enemy (read: Hitler) is my friend. This article seems to drive home this historically perilous and currently illogical line of reasoning. It also makes you realize that it's probably more important to read what people have espoused in the PAST, rather than the "modified" truth that their intellectual pivoting has devised.
