Great! The suits who invented the domino theory knew by the late 1960s
that it was nonsense, and that's what the entire war was based on. All
presidents are the target of various so-called scholars and shmexperts.
Many of us figured out early on that the North Vietnamese were not going
to burn their way through the south and invade Australia next. Do you
remember this nonsense?



Doug, you are chanting a typical shallow and simplistic post mortem of a
very complex set of circumstances, alliances, and political commitments that
took place over many years, mired also in corruption. In the end it came
down to justifying the continuance of policies that weren't working or were
no longer purposeful.
If you simply believe it was all based on the "domino" theory, then it was
you that was duped.
