"I don't quite understand why you believe that trading with China is a good idea."---Me

"I don't think I said that...My question was: Why is it a good idea to trade with China and a bad idea to trade with Cuba?---You

....ok, I'm confused.

You still claim that you didn't say that trading with China is a good idea?

You still claim that you didn't say that trading with China is a good idea?

It is a retorical question. Someone, somewhere in the vast global economy conspiricy must think it is a good idea because WE DO IT. We do it a lot. Would it make you fell better if is say "I hate China", then ok: "I hate China". My question is not to you, but to the powers that be. I will rephrase my question just for you, Luis, "Why do we trade with China, but not with Cuba?...or better yet: If free trade is considered to be the way to bring about change in China by every administration since Nixon, why is a boycott by every administration since Kennedy the best way to bring down Castro and free Cuba?
