Your post is difficult to read much less make sense of. Are you saying Nixon deserves vilification for going to China? No one here...., People here loathe.... Where is here? Are you talking about FR, America, China, where? How did Armand Hammer get involved in this? What is the deal with appeasement and being a Democrat?

If you can restate what you are saying I will try to respond. If you are just a DU troll, don't bother as you won't be around long enough to discuss it.

I was quite clear in my statement and maybe should have contemplated using smaller words and easier context for a Nixon fan like you. But to restate: Nixon was a fool for 'opening' China, and if he were not a Republican, no one here--on FR, where you are reading this post--would argue he was right in doing so.
