If a majority think he did then he probably won't be re-elected. Assuming for the sake of argument that a majority do think Bush lied and that because of this he loses the election, that will not actually prove that he lied. In that sense what the voters think is not the "ultimate test". What the voters think doesn't determine the truth of their opinion. They are not right just because they are in the majority. It will only determine who gets to be the next president.

Again, we disagree on what a democracy is and what means what.

"The most mild versions where something like "If we can't stop communism in Vietnam then the countries around Vietnam may also fall to communism." "

Then the mild version was too strong.......pretty lame theory in my opinion.

The mild version turned out to be true.


It did? Last time I checked there are only two communist states....Vietnam and Laos.....and Laos was a communist state back then. A "mild" version of the domino theory certainly would have included Cambodia, Thailand and Burma......at least.
