China understands the Jefferson approach to foreign policy

Today’s edition of the Financial Times (Feb. 9, 2010) reports that China has overtaken the European Union to become Iran’s largest trading partner. “Our approach is that dialogue and negations always produce better results,” said Xie Xiaoyan, the Chinese ambassador to Tehran. “Sanctions will not produce the results set up [by the west], no matter how crippling.” My guess is that Xie Xiaoyan has read Ron Paul’s book on foreign policy. How sad that our leaders have rejected the wisdom of our Founding Fathers, in favor of saber rattling.
