The alleged US "leadership", i.e., Democrats and Obama, think massive debt, a weak military, and appeasement foreign policy will actually make evil foreign leaders behave according to Judeo-Christian based Democratic values and principals. <br /><br />Stunned by the above statement that foreign policy is about self interest as a justification to submit to tyranny. The self interest should be about promoting wealth through Capitalism, and Liberty through Democracy and the rule of Law. We should never put ourselves in a position of kowtowing to China or anyone else because of what they can do for us. We should do for ourselves. The next step if we don't is having to do as the tyrannical States say. Are you ready to live under Sharia Law or Chinese Communist rule?Steven Dexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15299032034330006689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33445632.post-89103439869413775402010-01-11T23:22:48.899+01:002010-01-11T23:22:48.899+01:00What foreign policy is all about is your interests...What foreign policy is all about is your interests and very little else.

But in the case of China, If Obama has set the precedent, and he, clearly being a man of principles who scrutinises far horizons, then such an attitude must be perfectly acceptable. After all, who can afford to miss the boat to China? (the fast one).<br /><br />Which also explains why China is now the world's leading exporter and why the Chinese are stealing the motor show in Detroit. Who can compete? Certainly not Tibet. Principles are the first to go, dirt cheap these days.Mirinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14762774089637304953noreply@blogger.com
