Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the idea of a nation's independent sovereignty is the basis of proving the irrational and negative aspects of Canadian military intervention in Afghanistan's democratic elections. Furthermore, the writer points out that the link between warlord policing units and the Canadian military against the civilian population often contributes to governmental destabilization, which is contrary to the people's will. In essence, the writer maintains that the imposing interventionist policy of the Canadian military will have a negative impact on any form of developmental democracy in Afghanistan.

From the Paper
"The general definition of a democracy is the rule of the people to chose their own representational leaders in government. The will of the people in Afghanistan should be the guiding rule of law if this form of government is going to be implemented. However, after the military invasion of Afghanistan by the United States in 2001, Canada has decidedly taken the view that the country must become "democratized" in accordance with U.S. policy in the region. This policy is founded on the principle that the country must be under Canadian military control, along with other NATO countries, but has failed to bring any type of stability or order in the country to allow legal elections to occur. Military occupation by the Canadian military has often been a source of antagonism to law and order, as they often do not correctly separate "insurgents" or members of the Taliban from the innocent non-combatant civilians in the region. Alongside the military occupation of Afghanistan, the Canadian and American military have installed a warlord-backed police force to deal with any type of civilian rebellion in the region."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that the often-corrupt connection between the local warlord policing units and the Canadian military explains the constant state of violence directed at innocent civilians rebelling against the occupation of their country. In addition, the writer maintains that democracy cannot be created by the deliberate threat of military violence against the civilian population by local warlord politicians picked by NATO and the United States during elections.

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of five articles which present varying points of view on military intervention. The paper makes the case that key concepts like globalisation, hegemony, modern colonial strategies, and materialism/capitalism all play a part in contributing to military interventions. The paper argues that American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan is given as a foil which effectively reflects these aforementioned positions.

From the Paper
"Giovanni Arrighi made the case that one of the geopolitical explanations for American military interventions is a "Vietnam Syndrome." To clarify, Arrighi described that a successful American intervention post-Vietnam would utilise the Powell Doctrine, and that "this strategy was the culmination of US endeavours not to reverse so much as to avoid another Vietnam verdict" (Arrighi, 2005, p. 53)."

Abstract
The paper shows how the Fenian Raids in 1866 and the fighting on the Western Front in the First World War both demonstrated to Canadian commanders the necessity of improving equipment and training for Canadian soldiers. This analysis discusses the specific responses made by the Canadian military to these respective challenges, such as providing new breech-loading weapons and incorporating independent companies into battalions in the aftermath of the Fenian Raids, and the provision of gas masks and poison gas warfare training to Canadian soldiers after the Battle of Ypres in Belgium in 1915.

From the Paper
"Examining the evolution of the Canadian military in the 19th and 20th centuries indicates that the Fenian Raids in 1866 and the fighting on the Western Front in the First World War both demonstrated to Canadian commanders the necessity of improving equipment and training for Canadian soldiers. This analysis will discuss the specific responses made by the Canadian military to these respective challenges, such as providing new...'

Abstract
This study attempts to evaluate the best possible use of military intervention so that universal standards of the use of military force can be established for the international community. The paper evaluates the dangers involved in both the use of force and in not using force and attempts to determine which situations make the use of military force appropriate.

From the Paper
"Generally speaking, the use of military force has been restricted to the expansion of territory and with the apparent needs of capitalism such as trade, finance and natural resources. However as of September 11, 2001, the doctrine of military intervention has drastically transformed because of the new threat of terrorism that has surfaced. This threat of terrorism does not appear in the form of state, nation or ethnic group, but rather in the form of individual groups who seek to solve their disputes by resorting to violence because they see the world and its residents as selfish and greedy who have failed to address their needs."

Abstract
This essay focuses on the national debate in the US as to whether there should be military intervention in Iraq if the weapons inspectors are hindered. The writer presents an analysis of the arguments both for and against intervention and highlights the position of President Bush and those who oppose him. The paper maintains that Iraq has attempted to create weapons of mass destruction and needs to be stopped. It concludes by arguing that there is currently worldwide support for a US led initiative and this makes it an opportune time to persevere in attempting to bring stability to the region.

From the Paper
"There is a nationwide debate-taking place about whether or not the U.S. should intervene militarily if Iraq hinders the weapons inspection process. The debate is not just across political party lines, Americans from all walks of life are contemplating this decision. If war is declared with Iraq, the U.S. and hopefully, their allies, will be looking at a military campaign with the use of ground troops, possibly occupying Iraqi cities. I believe there is credible evidence that Iraq has attempted to produce weapons of mass destruction and should be stopped."

Abstract
The paper argues that the Canadian military involvement in Afghanistan is laudable and that realists have a better understanding of the realities of international security and human rights protection than do liberals. The paper outlines the general content of both sides vis-a-vis this important issue and provides information on why each side feels as it does. Finally, the paper concludes with a brief note about how human rights and liberties (and international security) can only be maintained if those who would violate those rights and liberties are held accountable - by the use of force, if necessary. The paper concludes that the realists have it right, and the only area wherein it appears both sides are in agreement is that military forces should assist in the re-constitution of war-torn Afghanistan.

Abstract
The paper discusses how in the current age of globalization, there is a growing reality of interdependence and the need for a real sense of community. Unfortunately, the paper shows how world events, and stories of genocide, often paint a picture far different from the idealistic hopes and dreams of those who envision a global community. As one expert puts it "for all the vows that there would 'never again' be genocide, reality has too many times proven otherwise [as] millions of people have been killed, maimed, raped, displaced, and otherwise victimized, while the international community--including the United States, the United Nations, and the European Union continues to do too little, too late (Jentleson, 2007, p. 1). As an academic response to the aforementioned atrocities, the paper explores whether the U.S. alone, or in combination with the U.N. or other allies, should intervene with military force to stop genocide. More specifically, the current discussion defines and defends the circumstances in which this should occur.

Abstract
In this discussion, the writer looks at justifications for international military interventions and rationale's for intervention. The writer examines the regional and geopolitical history of Iraq and Sudan in this regard. The writer also discusses human rights violations. This article looks at relevant literature and discussions and compares the intervention into Iraq with a possible military intervention into Sudan.

From the Paper
"This paper explores the literature and arguments surrounding the U.S. led intervention into Iraq, with justifications offered for an international intervention into Darfur Sudan today. The question posed is whether the conditions in Iraq leading up to U.S. intervention are comparable to those in Darfur currently and therefore whether they require similar armed military intervention. The paper concludes that the situations are dissimilar and only the conditions in Darfur mandate and authorize intervention. To answer the question the paper looks at the ... "

Abstract
This paper argues that Canada should withdraw her troops from Afghanistan. The writer points out that Canadian involvement in the war in Afghanistan has been ongoing since the conflict began in 2001, and what began as a peacekeeping mission in support of the United States against the Taliban has become something different largely because of American involvement in the war in Iraq. The writer discusses that the continued presence of Canadian troops in Afghanistan can today be seen as support for the wider war the United States is waging in the Middle East. The writer argues that Canada should withdraw before the fallout from this extended conflict harms Canadian interests.

"Canadian involvement in the war in Afghanistan has been ongoing since the conflict began in 2001, and what began as a peacekeeping mission in support of the United States against the Taliban has become something different largely because of American involvement in the war in Iraq. The continued presence of Canadian troops in Afghanistan can today be seen as support for the wider war the United States is waging in the Middle East. Canada should withdraw before the fallout from this extended conflict harms Canadian interests. Canada's involvement in Afghanistan steadily increased from the start of the conflict. Most recently, Canada undertook a major role in the southern part of that country, based around Kandahar with a battle group of more then 2000 soldiers. Canada also now commands one of the main military forces in Afghanistan, the Multi National Brigade for Command South."
