I think regardless of what you call it, it sends the same message and gives prestige to two people that do not deserve it. That is the mistake. As for the discussions with China, no I was not happy with that and I think my concerns are borne out. We are essentially paying for Chinese military ambitions through trade, we have opened ourselves up to tremendous military and industrial espionage and have exposed our country to grave economic harm with their surplus of dollars. Having said all that, there is at least an argument at the time that discussions with China were in the best interests of the U.S. Vietnam is a different story given our presence there and the time that has elapsed although I have never seen the point in it.

We have nothing to gain from discussions with Fidel and Raul Castro and they have everything to gain, including the prestige of having the President of the U.S. reach out to them. It diminishes us and solidifies their control at exactly the wrong time.
