Remember the Domino Theory?

Also, it is essential to constantly repeat “basic training”, or even complete it for the first time, and then repeat it. What is BT?

Change is constant! And, probably the MOST basic defining characteristic of being humanly alive is to “never give up!”, which expresses itself in always trying to maintain---the CONSTANT. I am, that I am, and a man’s a man, for all that.

However, process = change ALWAYS trumps stasis = constant.

Thus, picture a physical plane with many dominoes lined up so as to (over time, once ONE has been pushed into the one next to it) use gravity to begin the process of the logical chain reaction. Well, while this image stays constant in your mind’s eye, over time more change is ALWAYS inevitable.

The reliance on this theory that led to America’s Viet-Nam adventure played itself out. Behind it was the USSR, and, indeed, the other bad boy, China was also right in the neighborhood, ready to possibly copy what they did in Korea.

However, the changing Domino Theory processed future actions by ALL players, depending on rising and falling clout---and, all the changing time, the USA kept on getting smarter and stronger, despite fools like Carter, et al, from the fellow-traveling left, doing their worst to bring her down.

So, America left Nam in shame, to the eternal damnation of the poor people left in that hot country AND the leftists in America, the enemy within, who chickened out.

Even so, 35 years later, in the meantime---the very MEAN time!---the Soviet “Union” fell, freeing up millions of people, and China was forced to open up its economic system.

And that left a vacuum for the growing-rich-from-oil leaders of the Muslim cult to make their newly processed attempt to take over the world.

Enter today’s new Domino Theory.

The Middle East has always been an ammo dump, basically, filled with too many resentful human “bombs”, and change has brought modernity to that sorry acreage, at last! Now, they can process everything that’s new, and they’re seemingly doing it all at once---the NEW Domino Theory still exhibits many of the same characteristics of the old one.

The Axis of Evil would be fatally crippled, if, and only if, Iran went the way of Iraq. That country, taken over by fanatics, is truly the Arsenal of Terrorism!

History will not be kind to GWB or slick Willie, and especially BHO---they will be seen as the weak and indecisive non-leaders they were and are: caretakers of government, ALL. Not wise men, in the least, except for GWB, who at least was forced to react to the attacks of 9-11 and to take out Saddam.

What about “Nation Building”?

The whole concept reeks of stasis! That is, living, and processing-it-all humans, inherently remain attached to lessons learned from history, and the very mention of the words, “Nation Building”, Pavlov-dog-like, elicit CW notions of logical ideas of what it means.

Well, OBVIOUSLY, there has to be something called a “nation” (constant), and, for better or worse, somebody has to “build” (process) it.

However, what if the human race is reaching a tipping point, wrt what a nation is? Take Afghanistan, for example. Before it became a battleground “state” or “process”, that land with random boundaries was known to “contain” many tribes, which basically controlled their own fraction of the land. What “nation” existed?

So, in the same sense that it was wrong to force boundaries on peoples living in the Middle East that “created” an Iraq and a Jordan, let alone the conundrum known as “Palestine”, it SEEMS like the same thing is problematic, today.

My guess is that, over the unavoidable processing of time, probably the most vital expression of the “Tea Party” dynamic is happening in all those places that are damned by the name “nation building”.

Thus, the natural human desire for personal freedom is HAPPY to be free of overweening BIG GOVERNMENT! Why does anyone ever need such a monstrosity? FEAR!!!

It’s back to the mob verses the individual. Gangs in LA, or in Beijing.

What was the raison d’etre of the Roman Empire? To bring ORDER! And, without adequate force to protect it, what did we get---DISORDER!

Hence, there really isn’t any option to an impregnable USA, that keeps Absolute world order, as long as various malicious centers of power remain, eager to stick it to the “nation” that has “built” and maintains ORDER.

It turns out that the “Law and Order” party is the only one we should all want, and fight for, unless we are nihilistic fools or devils.
