Where did the idea of troops come into this?

I've got hopes for a lot of nations in that area. The Iraqi elections made a big impression on many people, and it helps that America is now on record as believing that freedom is a universal value.

If the pressure is kept up on Sharon, I have great hopes that Palestine may be the first Arab democracy.

Yeah. Sharon is the only reason Palestine isn't a peaceful democracy today.

As for Eisenhower's Domino Theory, it might be fun to discuss what the world would look like today if we'd stayed out of Korea, Vietnam and Central America, but people here don't like that sort of thing.
