"We" includes the mothers of all America crushers: the American press and John Kerry. Oh how they loved their Ho -- and to this day. To the rescue they came helping the commies get normal relations -- and a Kerry cousin get lucrative contracts.
The Marxist Lenin was absolutely correct about one thing, the useful idiots will sell the commies the rope to hang them. Keep them technology thingies and dollars flowing to the murderers of tens of millions of their own citizens and the proud owners of nuke missiles aimed at us, "free traders." Thanks a lot.
The Cold War may have ended differently had we listened to "free traders" in those days -- "Help the moderates, don't play into the hands of the Soviet hardliners." (Interpretations: leftists, we wnat the Soviets to win; "free traders," we want the money!)
