I believe a war with Iraq would be a mistake. In my opinion Saddam Hussein has done nothing as of yet, to warrant such an attack. However I do believe that Saddam is in the process of hiding or developing weapons of mass destruction, and that steps necessary steps should be taken that he abid...

American Foreign Policy During World War One and Two the American foreign policy has changed. It went from isolation to internationalism. Why? In my opinion it has different reasons. One reason why the United States isolated itself was because they had, and have, no proximity to other great pow...

George W. "The Present and the Future" After four years in office our current President of the United States of America, George W. Bush, is up for re-election. One candidate running against him is Ralph Nader. He is from the Green Party and probably has no hope of being elected. The othe...

George W. Bush's term "Axis of Evil" which he uses to describe a trio of countries, including Iraq, Iran, and North Korea is inappropriate regarding North Korea. In North Korea's case this term only promises to escalate tension between the United States and North Korea. This term...

The Final Debate The third and last debate was held on Wednesday, October 13, 2004. The debate, between President George Bush and Senator John Kerry, was a debate on domestic issues.

Asking the question, "Should we sustain from war with Iraq," in my opinion, is kind of like asking, "Is it safe to give a monkey a hand-gun." Obviously, the answer is no. Obviously, I believe in comic relief. Being serious though, which this topic definateley is, Saddam Hussein i...

The War Against Iraq Many say that the Bush Administration is justified in its attempts to wage war against Iraq. Citizens that believe in this course of action should stop and examine some of the finer details. After the conflict in Afghanistan our government shifted its attention to Iraq...

The United States of America was created through warfare. Since then, the U.S. has tried to stay non-militaristic. George Washington once said that a new nation should not entangle itself in alliances, because they could result in wars. In spite of this, as our nation developed, we found ourselves i...

President George W. Bush is preparing for war with Iraq. Before he goes to war he has to address the issue with Congress and with NATO. My opinion is that we should go to war with Iraq and Saddam Hussein. He has been in power for a while and continues to pose a threat to the world. Sadda...
