There is no comparison between Germany, an industrial co-equal of other continental powers, and a 3rd world dictator like Saddam. Why didn't Bush, Sr. do it while he had the support if it was such a good idea?

The conversion of China to trading partner was far more stabilizing than marginalizing them further in 1970's. We could have had a super-sized North Korea had they not developed. Much better model than one of Nazi containment and appeasement analogs.
