Abstract
The paper argues that George W. Bush is a cultural icon who embodies the positive and negative aspects of American culture. The paper asserts that his political strategist, Karl Rove, has always been very aware of the vital importance of cultural aspects of politics, and crafted a public image of Bush that conveyed a cultural iconic status as a compassionate conservative. The paper discusses how Bush was marketed to the public as a responsible, family values, born again Christian who was for small government.

Abstract
In this paper, the three points of economics, militarism, and the Bush Administration's policy are analyzed. This study argues against the Bush Administration's policy proposing the validity of "democratizing" the new Iraqi government. The writer maintains that certainly Bush and his advisers did not actively find weapons of mass destruction, providing little evidence that Saddam Hussein and his government could not possibly pose a threat against the military might of the United States.

Abstract
This paper examines how George H. W. Bush had the potential to be a "great" American president; his single term was filled with momentous occasions during which he could have proven his capability as a leader and defining himself in his role as 'the most powerful man on Earth.' The paper reveals that instead, the first president Bush was a president of "almosts." He almost went about the Panama Invasion in the correct way, he almost removed Saddam Hussein from power, and he almost provided Americans with disabilities with his "kinder, gentler" vision. The paper points out that to say that the first President Bush was ineffective or unsuccessful, however, is to forget what he did accomplish during his presidency.

From the Paper
"Whether you admire George Herbert Walker Bush or consider him to be the Devil incarnate, it is indisputable that he was an influential man in Washington, D. C. George Bush was in the public eye for 12 years, first as vice-president to Ronald Reagan and then as president of the United States. His influence was such that it is at times difficult to remember that he was only a one-term president. In fact, some of the events that took place during his presidency, as well as his response to them, are still having an effect today. This paper will be used to examine some of the major events during his presidency, analyze his record in relationship..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the invasion and occupation of Iraq is the direct result of the Bush doctrine of preemptive war. The paper relates that this doctrine was presented in The National Security Strategy of the United States of America (2002) which states that the Bush doctrine consists of, "defending the United States, the American people, and our interests at home and abroad by identifying and destroying the threat before it reaches our borders."

Abstract
This paper presents an in-depth discussion of the Canadian institution of the bush pilot after 1920, in relation to informal medical evacuation functions, and the rise of post-World War II formal medevac services. It gives a history of how Saskatchewan pioneered systematic air evacuation of patients from 1948-1968. Additionally, it points out the continuing reliance on bush pilots now trained in paramedical support and critical care nursing.

From the Paper
"Canada has an elaborate lore of bush pilots as individuals, male and sometimes female, whose vocations tend to be discussed historically, though a perennial presence. Many have become cultic personalities in view of a way of life demanding independent personalities equal to endless duties and considerable risk. Fewer persons seem aware of the bush pilot as a continuing necessity in much of Canada including the many to perform air ambulance services, again, across a large proportion of Canada. This paper examines the rise of air medical and evacuation services in northern..."

Abstract
This paper details the basic characteristics and ideologies of conservatism, according to views and opinions of theoreticians. From an economical perspective, conservatism pledges for a minimal implication of the state in national economic process or towards income equality. The writer of this paper contends and explains why President Bush's administration basically follows a conservative ideology. One example would be the military privatization policies, that are aimed at increasing the strength of the military arsenal through private investments, while at the same time increasing the power of certain lobby groups and major supporters of the administration. On the flip-side, this paper discusses various policies of the Bush administration that are viewed as liberal and non-conservative, such as: The Medicare Modernization Act, Social Security Reform and the No Child Left Behind Program, which do not have the individualistic characteristics one would expect from a neoconservative government. This paper also delves into the impact of the Patriot Act, which seems to be endangering some of the fundamental liberties of the American individual.

From the Paper
"It seems thoroughly strange to note, however, that many of the Bush policies could rather be classified as liberal or, at least, as not belonging to the conservative ideology. For once, the large federal spending, especially during the first term, is a classic measure that liberal governments use to stimulate growth and production. As a measure of governmental spending, it is by all cases an implication of the state in the economic processes, something which, as we have seen, is certainly not conservative. In turn, large governmental spending levels increase budgetary deficit, as was the case during Bush's first term. On the other hand, some social policies, including here the Medicare Modernization Act and the Social Security Reform, but also the No Child Left Behind program, certainly do not have the individualistic characteristics we would expect from a neoconservative government."

Abstract
This paper closely examines former First Ladies Eleanor Roosevelt and Barbara Bush. The similar backgrounds and passions of these two women are revealed through this in-depth comparison.

From the Paper
"Eleanor Roosevelt and Barbara Bush were two extraordinary former first ladies who helped to shape today's American society. Both of these women played active roles while they were First Ladies of the United States. Although these two women lived in different time periods and concentrated their abilities in different areas, both were influential in their own unique ways. A liberal Democrat, Eleanor Roosevelt was very active during her years in the political spotlight. While in the White House, Eleanor Roosevelt had many issues that were important to her, including concern for young people, the poor, the unemployed, and racial equality. She was also involved in the women's movement. After her years in the White House, Eleanor Roosevelt dedicated her time to humanitarian causes. A Republican, Barbara Bush was also active during her years in the political spotlight. Barbara Bush devoted her time to issues such as literacy and volunteerism. Before and during their times in the White House, these two women had many similarities as well as many differences, both lifestyle-wise and political-wise. Both were profoundly unique women who used their talents to take them far."

Abstract
This paper examines how President George W. Bush has lived up to his election vow that he would reduce the use of illegal drugs in the country.

From the Paper
"Though, the strategies adopted by Mr. Bush for the reduction of the consumption of drugs have been proved to be effective and bring some positive results in the future but they are not the complete cure to the problem of drugs that is prevailing not only in the United States but in almost all parts of the world. There are no panaceas for the world's drug problems, but legalizing drugs, unblock the court system, and allocating the resources being wasted on the drug controlling for any other productive purposes."
