And none of this is new, including Bush's "freedom agenda". That's just a rehash of the domino theory which roots itself in WWII. More recently Carter tried a flavor in the middle east, Reagan continued with it, Clinton used it in the balkans and eastern europe, etc On the more recent military side Bush Sr. declined to occupy Iraq, and Clinton chose to use the UN in his invasion of the balkans, but it's all just flavors of the same policy concept that been around for 50 years including other military interventions like Korea and Vietnam. If we're going to credit Egypt's 2011 revolution to old US policies and presidents, let's at least give credit where it's due: the Truman doctrine from the 40s and Ike's Domino Effect from the 50s. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:334417 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
