...surprisingly, the rest of the world reacts in schizophrenic ways to such contradictory impulses. The U.S. has lurched back and forth between accommodating China to gain commercial advantages and condemning its ugly record on human rights and its erratic behavior toward its neighbors.

All that is necessary evidence to understand this fact is that he personally ordered the shooting of pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989.

...enemy of both dissent and liberty, Nixon can be declared an enemy of students. All that is necessary evidence to understand this fact is that he may as well have personally ordered the shooting of anti-war protesters at Kent State in 1970. Now think of poor, dead Nixon, all cooped up in his wooden casket. There is no need to weep for him, America...
