America's Foreign Policy

Paper Summary:

The paper maintains that the research gathered tends to find that western imperialism has forced the Iraqi government to adapt the political foreign policy of American interests, rather than holding elections that will truly represent the people. The paper contends that in relation to oil, the control over the Iraqi government through a quasi-democracy will help Americans take oil at much more rapid rate by appearing as a guardian of governmental goodwill.

From the Paper:

"1.Why is America in the Middle East, especially when there has been a serious lack of evidence supporting an invasion? : One answer to this may be oil. Due to the many problems in "intelligence gathering" and other political issues that baffle the public as to why American soldiers are in Iraq, an economic and politically based agenda in regards to oil may be the problem. Perhaps American foreign policy is not based on protecting regions from tyranny or Saddam Hussein through NATO, but by fabricating a war due to a dependency on cheap foreign oil."
