failure will spell upheaval as they see that they too can defeat the West as well.
The domino theory again? Sigh... In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
The few occupations that 'take hold' involve colonization and genocide. Do you propose to send waves of emigrants to establish a 'Western' outpost in Afghanistan? I don't see much of a movement for that development.
Genocide - a case could be made that the U.S. promoted genocide in Viet Nam and in Iraq. But, without that colonization part, it's merely inhumane, self-defeating, and disgusting. (With colonization - well - history is written by the survivors.)
Ah - the white man's burden. What is the nearly unanimous desire of people throughout the world? To be left alone to make a reasonable living among their fellows. Only a small group of felonious vandals and predators want to make a mess in their neighbor's bailiwick - let alone halfway around the world. Unfortunately, these small groups are able to influence somewhat larger groups from time to time - to organize them into a mob which has a markedly different set of principles than most of the individuals involved. Be a friend of the world - resist this influence. paul spencer
