Concept: Saddam ~ Noriega

[kandrathe]

During the Vietnam War, the U.S. "Domino Theory" was proven wrong, and therefore abandoned.

Or, maybe the anti-communists won due to the US and other anti-communists taking a stand, forcing the "enemy" to expend resources fighting wars rather than expanding to other nations and proving their communist theories correct. It is hard to know exactly what would have happened if communism's spread is SE Asia had not been challenged.

Many of the world's nations are led by unscrupulous figures, which forces us to engage in many non-sequitor relationships. Due to our war on terror, we are working with Pakistan, not really a model nation and one that has been accused of nuclear proliferation. We are friendly with Saudi Arabia, the hot bed of the same Wahabi extremism that drives Osama Bin Laden.
