The Sky Is Falling, The Sky Is ….wait, that’s only the sound of Theocratic Dictatorships Toppling.

BUSH’S REVERSE DOMINO THEORY- Let Freedom Ring.
by N. Beaujon
March 1, 2005

George Bush may be the worst threat to Fascism in history. Tragically, freedom is spreading and the world’s most beloved terrorist states are falling. What have Bush’s foreign policy wrought? The US has invaded and toppled Afghanistan’s repressive, fundamentalist Taliban regime. They have been replaced by the pro-western, articulate and uber snazzy dresser Hamid Karzai. Democratically held elections recently went off without a hitch and for the first time in 25 years women were allowed to vote. (Where are you Mavis Leno and all your feminist cronies? For a decade Afghanistan was your cause d’ celbre, the ultimate symbol of female repression and paternalistic shame. Where is your reverence for what Bush and his cabinet did to free the women of Afghanistan you, gasbag frauds? Where are your accolades, where is your shame?)

Next, Libya has surrendered to the U.S. Colonel Mohamar Qadhafi's is dismantling his progam of weapons of mass destruction and recently declared that Libya seeks to play a role in "building a new world free from WMD and from all forms of terrorism." [1]Economic and diplomatic relations with the west are being developed as we speak. Where are your accolades, Europe, Canada, World when this terrorist state capitulated?

Next, we toppled Iraq’s sadistic, expansionist, terrorist regime; beheaded the Ba'athist snake (Saddam, Uday and Qusay) and killed off or imprisoned most of it’s players. Iraq’s first democratically held elections were held in January, as scheduled. Sixty percent of the population showed up to vote, under threat of death from the freedom hating Fundamentalist fueled whackos. That’s more people than show up in the US, to cast their right to vote. Now who is “occupying” Iraq? The Islamo-fascists or the freedom loving US military who protected the Iraqi people as they marched to the polls to take control of their own fate? Where is the world’s standing ovation for free elections? (Listen up, Jesse Jackson, you fraud.) If the coalition government can tap into hope and freedom and neuter the weak spineless souls and decrepit tribal hostilities, Iraq can one day be free.

And finally, this week, under threat of death and massive protesting in the streets, the Syrian-led Ba’athist occupiers, in a bloodless coup, simply walked off the job. Twenty five thousand Lenanese people took to the streets yelling “Syria Get Out!” and they did. The end of of occupation. The Lebanese people are on the road to being free. (Note to all liberals: Lebanon is what a country looks like when it is occupied. NOT Iraq.) Iran, to be sure, is next. For decades that country has been a simmering groundswell of the d- word (democracy), crushed by old, decrepid, fundamentalist mullahs, the cauldron however is brewing; that spark is alive. Bet on it. If Iranian “dissidents” recieve the right impulse (could it be Lebanon?) those mullahs could quickly implode. After the Lebanese just had the Mother of all Conniption fits, I don’t think I’d want to be Iran and I know I wouldn't want to be Syria. Next, the dreaded Palestinian Authority could even be falling to freedom. Now that the nefarious Yassar Arafat is dead, the bombings have all but stopped. There is dialogue and a recent suicide bombing that took place just last week was quickly denounced and, more importantly, almost hapless. New Palestinian leaders called for calm. There is a different tone there. Peace may have broken out.

Terrorists are like cockaroaches, they’re like cancer, they will always be with us, we have them in the US (ELF, Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, et al) but they can only thrive in a culture that feeds and supports them. George Bush has consiously and methodically cut off their life support. First, it was their financial backing, next their military might and, now, it is their ideological supply lines. (Goodbye madrasas) Do you think the high profile arrest of Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, “valedictorian” of the Islamic Saudi Academy, a Saudi funded Wahhabist "terrorist school", was a coincedence? No, it was the first shot to the Saudi's. This arrest was meant to send a message: ultimately, we will shut down these houses of hatred. They have no constitutional protections.

George Bush has a reverse Domino Theory thing going on. If you topple one dictator, freedom will spread. The old model, was defensive, it was Presented by President Dwight Eisenhower, in 1954, who believed that when a first domino is knocked over then the rest topple in turn. Applying this to South-east Asia he argued that if South Vietnam was taken by communists, then the other countries in the region would follow. [1]

George Bush, however, the eternal optimist, has a Domino theory that takes the offensive. Instead of STOPPING communism, we are spreading democracy. And, democracy like a cancer, grows. We all know that once most people get a taste of freedom they don’t want to give it up. (Just ask any liberal. Just ask the 9-11 suicide bombers, if you could: They blew themselves up rather then give up their strip clubs and swinging lifestyles in Miami. My guess is they weren’t dying for Islam, they were dying to AVOID Islam)

In George Bush's world our job is to topple the Domino’s of fascism and Let Freedom Ring. A much tougher job, but it seems to be working. Understand the determination of people clamoring to be free in each of these countries, propping up their own respective states. The Dominos of fascism are falling and they are being replaced by the seeds of Freedom.

While it hasn’t been articulated as such the Bush foreign policy is, in essence, Marxism in reverse . Rather than "the 'rot' of capitalism" sewing the seeds to it’s own destruction, it is the pollen of freedom taking wing. Each person that carries that message is capable of pollinating the blossom. Each person whose cynicism and hypocracy crushes that spirit should be cursed and be damned.

Letters to the Editor

[1] Domino Theory Principle, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1954, http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~hst306/documents/domino.html “Now, with respect to the first one, two of the items from this particular area that the world uses are tin and tungsten. They are very important. There are others, of course, the rubber plantations and so on. Then with respect to more people passing under this domination, Asia, after all, has already lost some 450 million of its peoples to the Communist dictatorship, and we simply can't afford greater losses. But when we come to the possible sequence of events, the loss of Indochina, of Burma, of Thailand, of the Peninsula, and Indonesia following, now you begin to talk about areas that not only multiply the disadvantages that you would suffer through loss of materials, sources of materials, but now you are talking really about millions and millions and millions of people. Finally, the geographical position achieved thereby does many things. It turns the so-called island defensive chain of Japan, Formosa, of the Philippines and to the southward; it moves in to threaten Australia and New Zealand. It takes away, in its economic aspects, that region that Japan must have as a trading area or Japan, in turn, will have only one place in the world to go -- that is, toward the Communist areas in order to live. So, the possible consequences of the loss are just incalculable to the free world.”
