10. So are we going back to the Domino Theory? |
|
That one worked to get us into Viet Nam and to keep us there for a long time. Maybe the White House is dusting those dominoes off.
The "threat of WMD" rationale for war is overly used and getting a little old (plus there is the PR problem when you don't actually find any WMD after occupying the country).
The "spreading liberty and freedom" justification for war is-- just face it-- lame.
But the Domino Theory? It's simplistic and totally discredited, but those criticisms have not stopped Bushco yet.
