What's stupid about stopping the selling of american property to foreigners one piece at a time...
President Bush dropped the ball on this one issue, but overall he has been a good, responsible President.
America's entire history has been about the freedom to buy and sell around the world. We buy properties and things in every country and should understand that when others PARTICULARLY major allies can do the same it makes our system all the stonger and ties those allies MORE closely to us.
Treating everyone as an enemy is an excellent way of making friends just that.
What's stupid about stopping the selling of private property to willing buyers? Maybe the answer is more evident when the question is properly phrased.
