Abstract This paper analyzes the causes and projects the effects of American foreign policy on the crucial situations in Iraq and North Korea. The analysis asserts that America has a great desire to defend herself against the terrorism of Iraq while the threats posed by North Korea are not as severe and can be handled diplomatically.
From the Paper "In the aftermath of September 11, President Bush declared war on terrorism. The President declared that the nation would seek out terrorists and the nations that harbor them. Iraq along with many other nations in the Middle East are harboring terrorist. In fact, many believe that Saddam Hussein and his government are terrorists. In fact, the Washington Post reports, ?Hussein's forces gassed scores of Kurdish villages in the late 1980s, killing thousands of people.? The fact that Hussein has killed thousands of people in is own country leads the American government to believe that Hussein would not hesitate to kill Americans if given the opportunity. In addition to the terrorism of his own government Saddam is believed to be harboring AlQuaeda terrorist. It has been asserted that there are even AlQuaeda training camps in Iraq. All of these facts lead us to believe that Iraq poses a sizable threat to our nation."
