Thanks for the compliment!

But just to show that any plan can end up biting you in the arse, I think Nixon later regretted the move because it was the first step in awakening the sleeping giant that is now kicking our butt economically.

I have a very mixed opinion on Nixon, but I don't think he should get a lot of the blame for what China has become. We've had a pretty terrible foreign policy for a long time. A lot of people are to blame for American foreign policy. It's a mess. It's about as bipolar as it gets. I've been researching it for the Thursday edition and it's insane how much money we give to people who hate us. It's amazing how much money we give away in general.
