We tried the Domino Theory after World War II.  Supposedly, you have to keep autocratic powers from expanding early.  When there are front lines, tanks, and uniforms all around, we can do well.  

Then there is an insurgency.  We don’t seem willing to field the ratio of boots on the ground to population occupied in an insurgent war, and we don’t do so well.  We should likely not try to change a foreign culture with an insufficient force, but the politicians order the poor troops to go in anyway.  The result is sometimes worse than if we didn't go in at all.
