Certainly terrorism has been a primary concern for Americans, since the advent of September 11th and the tragic loss of life that occurred on that fateful day. The fact that the media is now so omnipresent adds a complex facet to the situation, one that wasn't present only a few decades ago. ...

The media serves a complicated role in national security. It can serve as a national comforter in times of war, assassination, and tragedy. In the case of September 11th horrors, a critic should stress the exhausting, often excellent work of individual reporters and news organizations. But most of u...

Many methods of waging war have been utilized throughout history. Arguably, at some point, was the philosophy that there is no distinction between war and terrorism. And this might even seem logical as a resource in regards to evening battlegrounds by opening the degree of response any third world...

A Democrat for Democracy With the poor condition America is facing at the moment, one of the only solutions to the problem of our slipping economy is to elect a different president than the one we have now. A reasonable question that might come to mind is: Who has a good shot at actually winning ...

9/11: What has Changed in Three Years The day of September 11, 2001, is a day that many will never forget. Some lost jobs, some lost loved ones, some lost lives. America has been trough a lot of changes since that fateful day. We have went to war, we have became more patriotic, and we have i...

Two decades ago, having consolidated his Iraqi dictatorship with blood baths and traded billions of petrodollars for modern weapons, Saddam Hussein set out to make himself master of the Middle East and its oil fields. He launched successive wars of aggression against Iran and Kuwait, gathered a l...

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...

Iraq's invasion of Kuwait The Persian Gulf War was just one in a string of wars in and near the region. On September 1980, Iraq launched a major war against Iran. This war went on until1988, and proved one of the deadliest of the century. The war had over a million casualties. And in many w...

President Bush is Not a Good Leader One time while at a nightclub I ended up going home with a girl it just so happens that I ended up drinking too much and snorting way too much yayo. So were at my house and the clothes are coming off and it just so happens that I couldn't get an errection due...

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...

The Persian Gulf War On August 2nd, 1990 Iraqi military forces invaded and occupied the small Arab state of Kuwait. The order was given by Iraqi dictatorial president Saddam Hussein. His aim was apparently to take control Kuwait's oil reserves (despite its small size Kuwait is a huge...

During the last thirty years, many of the people of Iraq had been tortured, forced to relocate their families many times, arrested and murdered. Those who stood against Saddam Hussein were punished, in most cases by death, such as the 1988 gassing of Halabja, in which 5000 Kurds (his own people) per...

Do you remember? It was only three months ago, this nation was in a political frenzy attempting to decide on the future of its very divided country. Do you remember the coverage, debates, factors, television specials, and high concerns for every single political matter? Three months later, it is see...

Prior to 9/11, terrorism was just another key problem in American policy and different agencies were tasked to curtail its growth and influence – whether it is domestic or international terrorism. 9/11 changed the landscape to the point of having an all-source, central governing body that ensu...

America Under Attack Tuesday morning started off just like any other normal morning. I had an early class so I had to be in school at 7:30 am. I was on my was to my second class when I over heard someone say something about the World Trade Center. I thought nothing of it and went into class. A...

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...

Colin Powell Colin Powell is a great man. He played an important role in the Persian Gulf War. He even helped (former) President George Bush make decisions. We respect him for his intelligence and skill. The following paragraphs will be dedicated to his life. Colin Powell ...

The Political Economy and Terrorism The world's political economy is an ever-changing factor that influences us everyday. With our flourishing economy here in the U.S., we have seen many changes over the course of the last year. From planes crashing into buildings to markets dropping,...

In line with Baghdad's policy of at least apparent compliance with U.N. inspections in the hope of averting a threatened U.S. attack, an Iraqi official said a statement would be provided Saturday -- a day before time runs out. "We are going to deliver this declaration in the proper time on the...

"George W. Bush's War on Terror now seems to include the potential for the use of military force against Iraq." Whose right is it to declare war? Does the President have the power, the Congress? Some think that Congress has the Constitutional power to declare war, while others believe...

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...

What do you think of when I mention President Bush? Well, in every issue of the Daily Camera there is a political cartoon in the first section that sometimes is about Bush and his presidency, like it was a few days ago. In this particular cartoon, it is trying to portray President Bush and the ec...

The United States is growing frustrated with Russia and other members of the United Nations Security Council due to their reluctance to go along with plans to modify sanctions on Iraq.
