Can’t really blame Nixon for China. He opened up diplomatic relations with them but those who encouraged them to continue to be commies and get rich doing so are still living.
Seems to me it was the Great Stainmaker who granted China most favored nation status, while at the same time giving them advanced missile technology thru Lorel (sp?). I've always felt that it'll be decades before we realize the long term damage that was done during the Clinton administration.
