War on Terror v. The Cold War
Question: Which is more misguided, the Domino Theory or the Iraq Theory?
The Domino Theory was the idea during the Cold War that if we didn't fight the Russians at every moment as if it were the final showdown, they would slowly conquer the world, like dominos falling, one after another.
The Iraq Theory is the current misperception that the entire War on Terror is encompassed within the borders of Iraq, and leaving would be tantamount to inviding Al-Qaeda (read: everyone who has ever been anti-American) to enter our homeland and blow it up.
Both theories are wrong, I'm just not sure which is more destructive for America.
