Real falling dominoes
Before the 2003 Iraq war, neoconservative theorists suggested that a liberated Iraq could be a vanguard of democracy. A democratic Iraq would lead to the fall of authoritarian rulers in neighboring states, and the spread of democracy throughout the Middle East. This has sometimes been called the "democratic domino theory" or the "reverse domino theory."

==Real falling dominoes==
Since 2001, a commercial organization in the Netherlands has organized an event called Domino Day. Teams of volunteers build enormous displays consisting literally of millions of dominos, then topple them all. The displays consist of huge three-dimensional sculptures that often appear to move or change as the dominoes fall. In 2006, the organization toppled 4,079 381 to set a new record.
