Here’s a funny sign that’s shown up on a few right-wing sites. I don’t doubt that the protester was unaware of the 1936 Olympics, but they do unwittingly make a good point. Yes, we did allow Nazi Germany to host the Olympics, and didn’t that turn out well?

We’re told that trading and talking with some countries is the way to bring them over to the side of democracy, while dealing with other, often indistinguishable, countries is best done down the barrel of a gun. I’ve no idea what the best course is with China (though within a decade or so we won’t have a choice), but that’s not because I’m a moron (I am, but that’s a different issue).
