The domino theory

Previously, in ominous warnings:

We have chosen to fight a limited war in Vietnam in an attempt to prevent a larger war--a war almost certain to follow, I believe, if the Communists succeed in overrunning and taking over South Vietnam by aggression and by force. I believe, and I am supported by some authority, that if they are not checked now the world can expect to pay a greater price to check them later.

Today.

HANOI (AFP) - Vietnam became the 150th member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), a milestone expected to launch an era of radical change as the communist nation enters the global economic mainstream.

Just sayin'.
