The interesting thing about the Domino Theory was that after we lost the war in Vietnam our maniacal Communist enemy collapsed in a relatively few years. Hard to say in which direction the dominoes fell. China is one of our biggest trading partners. And the last school backpack I bought for my son was from that fine US company L.L. Bean bore the label "made in Vietnam". The Communists were once described in the same monsterous terms as Islamists are described by the dim but excitable in this thread.
Of course we should fight terrorism. We just shouldn't practice it. We shouldn't invade countries that never attacked us and we shouldn't be so blindingly stupid as to think that we can force nations at bayonet point to be "democratic." Anyone who thinks that will work clearly doesn't understand the word.
