Then what exactly is PNTR with China?
It is acknowledging your unalienable right to trade your property and labor with that of Chinese peasants. Whether you realize it or not, every time you buy a Chinese trinket at Toys 'R Us, that is exactly what you do.
A three year old understands that voluntary exchanges with your neighbors reduces tensions, not exacerbates them. It takes many years of 'education' to beat in the basic statist fallacy - that different standards of behaviour apply to government than to individuals.
BTW, excellent post demi-dog. Sorry I arrived late.
