Suppose I know that you mistreat your wife. If I trade with you, does that mean I don't care about your behavior? Of course not. The same is with countries.

The crimes of communism are compared to "mistreating" a wife?!? LOL, I think you can do one hell of alot better than that. Try replacing "mistreat" with a real group of communist crimes. But then it would be hard for you to brush off someone who could be such an obvious danger to your own familiy wouldnt it?

In reality we treated the soviet union as the evil empire and beat them. The failure of our "free trade" with communist china has proven itself in the form of china's quick and dramatic transformation into a modern military with high tech nuclear missiles.

It is not a good quality that you have sidestepping around such glaring distictions.

But then it would be hard for you to brush off someone who could be such an obvious danger to your own familiy wouldnt it? How do you know what I did and did not experience in my own life? How do you know I am not a refugee from Hungary? Or Russia? Or Angola?

Just shows how stupid it is to reduce arguments to personalities, especially with people you don't know.

What's even worse is that you are doing the same thing liberals do: suspect your opponents of some impure motives. That is both silly and immoral.

In reality we treated the soviet union as the evil empire How, specifically, in the area of trade did we treat them as eveil empire. Go check on the amount of grain we were selling them, for instance.

If you have no clue abut the issue, do you really have to scream some nonsence about it?

and beat them. We did not beat that empire: we outlived it. Judging by the speed with which socialism takes hold of this country, I would not be so hasty as to feel victorious. Safe -- yes, but not victorious.

The failure of our "free trade" with communist china has proven itself in the form of china's quick and dramatic transformation into a modern military with high tech nuclear missiles. And North Korean capabilities are explained by free trade as well?

Silly.

is not a good quality that you have sidestepping around such glaring distictions. It does not look as if you can tell "side" from "front" to detect any sidestepping.
