"You are our old friends," sounds typical of Deng and Poppy. Read this letter from Poppy to Deng just 16 days after the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Look how many times Poppy whines about fixing their "relationship" versus genuine concern for justice for the murdered protesters. He sounds downright regretful when he says, "the actions that I took as President of the United States could not be avoided." As though rhetoric were an action; Poppy never considered lasting sanctions at all.
