Nicholas Kristof, in todays NY Times(registration required):
“…Communism is fading, in part because of Western engagement with China — trade, investment, Avon ladies, M.B.A.’s, Michael Jordan and Vogue magazines have triumphed over Marx. That’s one reason we should bolster free trade and exchanges with China, rather than retreating to the protectionist barricades, as some are urging.”

Excellent post, Jude. There is a lesson here for those who genuinely want to see the US play a role in promoting freedom around the world. Trade is more effective than sanctions, militarism, war, and the like. In other words, the private sector is better than government at achieving even the international goals the neocons profess to favor.
