Abstract
This paper explains that the fundamental basis for liberal internationalism is the coupling of a commitment to freedom and to a free market economy with the desire to spread the country's sphere of influence. The author points out that aggressive liberal internationalism has been characterized by the willingness of a few powerful nations, such as the United States and Great Britain, to use military and political force to promote these liberal ideals and paradoxically promote peace and security. The paper argues that, although some people argue that not enough time has passed for the roots of liberalism to take hold in Iraq and help stabilize the region, this policy has failed in Iraq. The author concludes that it is impossible to impose liberal policies and institutions on societies and cultures that have no tradition of liberalism.
From the Paper
"Critics have argued that the nearly unilateral invasion of Iraq by the United States represents the nation's departure from the liberal tradition in international relations. But this is not the case. Liberal internationalism is simply a theoretical approach to international relations that works to spread the influence of the liberal tradition, and even, in extreme cases, to punish those nations who do not abide by that tradition. While, in a practical sense, it makes little sense for there to be a liberal international order of only one nation..."

Abstract
This articles discusses that since America invaded Iraq March 20, 2003, more than three years ago, support for the Iraq War, in America and internationally, strong at first, has lessened. The writer points out that in the latter half of 2006, support for the war, in the U.S. and elsewhere, has reached its lowest point. The writer notes that as the conflict continues, no clear answer emerges as to whether America and its few remaining allies should "stay the course" or instead pull troops out sooner, thereby cutting American and other losses. In this essay, the writer discusses reasons for and against continued involvement in the Iraq War, and explains why one should "stay the course", but not for the reasons most often mentioned by President George W. Bush.
From the Paper
"Still, a changed military strategy as described by Krepinevich could still prevent Iraq from becoming, as many now fear, another Vietnam. To remain another decade using a changed strategy might still give the U.S. and its allies, though slowly, a chance to win the peace, so that all the efforts, expense, and lost lives will not have been in vain even if the war was in fact a mistake in the first place."
"Increasingly, though, many argue America and its allies would do better to pull out now. Bartlett argues that by waging war in Iraq the President meddled where no military threat existed, failing to maintain America's priority of defending against proven military threats."

An exploration of the 2003 Iraq war from a business ethics perspective.

Abstract
This paper examines the argument that the current Iraq war involves important business ethics issues that take the gloss off the American military 'victory', supposedly achieved for 'Iraqi freedom.' It looks at how the attack was justified for more than the need to destroy "Weapons of mass destruction", etc., and how one of the main reasons was an American desire to control a region with the second largest proven oil reserves in the world.
From the Paper
"Certain events during the current war have also reinforced the belief that business interests are more important to the war planners than any 'humanitarian' or 'ethical' consideration. Take, for example, the fact that more than 1000 oil wells in Iraq were promptly 'secured' and the only building in Baghdad considered worthy of protection by the US marines from the frenzied looting was the oil ministry building. They were silent spectators to the looting and pillaging of precious libraries, hospitals and even renowned Baghdad Museum containing priceless treasures-some dating back to 7000 years. The 'excuse' offered by Rumsfeld for failing to prevent looting was: "Freedom's untidy. And free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes." (Quoted by Scheer, April 15, 2003) Give us a break, Mr. Rumsfeld!"

Abstract
This paper explores the underlying motives for "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and questions whether it is about the liberation of people from the whims of a madman or simply a clash of civilizations. It examines the underlying premise behind the current (2003) war and analyzes Saddam Hussein as a rising global threat and his contribution to terrorism. The paper also explores the the cultural clashes between Western and Arabic civilization and the role that oil plays in the current dispute. Finally, the paper uses research based on Samuel P. Huntington's article "The Clash of Civilizations", (1993).
From the Paper
"The current war is by no means new. It has simply extended west. Iraq geographically encompasses where civilizations first began. It is in this area that ruthless tribes struggle for power against nature, power against death, and power against man. It is in this area that man birthed religion, who begat politics. As history created itself, man forged tribes creating distinct lines. These lines Huntington term the fault lines. They can be drawn back to the Hapsburg and Ottoman empires. Historically the nations to the north and west have always been more prosperous. They together they share feudalism to the reformation to the industrial revolution. The people of the south and east experienced history differently. They were less better off economically and politically. They shared ruthless barbarians, constant warfare and genocide. (Huntington 1993)"

Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, 2006.
Argues that the US was right to invade Iraq in 2003 because Iraq possessed and intended to use weapons of mass destruction.

Abstract
This political study argues that the American cause for the invasion of Iraq was valid due to the availability of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq before 2003. American military forces invaded Iraq in 2003 due to the fact that Saddam Hussein had created, stored, and was going to attack his neighbors with various missiles and chemical based weapons. In this manner, the evidence supporting the fact that Syria had helped Saddam Hussein move the weapons before the American invasion of 2003 is presented in this study. Although the United Nations had previously thought that there was an absence for cause for the American invasion of 2003 of Iraq, the evidence is growing against these claims.

Abstract
This is a media analysis of the 2003 war with Iraq. In the paper, the mainstream media journalism of George Packer and the independent news journalism of Howard Zinn are analyzed. By realizing how journalistic bias is provided in the work of Packer, one can understand how American propaganda for the war is disseminated to the American public. The paper examines how, although there is a complete lack of evidence to support American intervention in Iraq, it is clear that the American public is not being told the truth about why they have invaded this country.
From the Paper
"This media study will analyze the various perspectives that journalists use to portray the War in Iraq within the foreign policy issues of the United States. In this manner, various politically influenced journalists reflect differing points of view on this intervention. In the mainstream American media there is a effort to encourage the continued American presence in Iraq. However, there is a counter measure to this form of large-scale nationalist propaganda in the works of Howard Zinn as an independent news source."

Abstract
This paper studies significant events in American History from the Reconstruction Era {1865-1895} to the Progressive Era {1895-1920}. The author also examines major historical developments from the Era of Prosperity and World War 1{1920-1945} to Post War Era {1945-2002}. The paper touches on the issues of slavery and women's rights and the ways in which these topics have fit into the events of American history.
From the Paper
"At the end of the civil war, the South was still a devastitated region, now was the time to start healing the wounds of war, which has divided the nation. The victorous federal commanders supported harsh penalties against Southern white leaders; the nation now tolerated new and humiliating kinds of discrimination against blacks. The last quarter of the 19th century saw an introduction of "Jim Crow" laws in Southern states. "The Jim Crow laws were a response to a new reality that required white supremacy to move to where it would have a rigid legal and institutional basis to retain control over the black population. What had shifted was not their commitment to white supremacy but the things necessary to preserve it" . Such system segregated public schools, forbade or limited black access to many public facilities, such as parks, restaurants and hotels, and denied most blacks the right to vote by imposing poll taxes and literacy tests. The Supreme Court ruling in 1896 in Plessy v. Ferguson that separate facilities for whites and blacks were constitutional encouraged the passage of discriminatory laws that wiped out the gains made by blacks during Reconstruction."

Abstract
The paper provides a brief overview of the movement against the Iraq War as it has manifested itself in the U.S. since 2003. The paper looks at mainstream media coverage of public rallies, focusing on a report in the Los Angeles Times and a report from Reuters. The paper discusses the ANSWER media savvy organizing group that is rarely noted in mainstream media coverage of public rallies but which has a large role in sponsoring them. The paper thus shows how a mainstream news source omits small pieces of information that can have a significant effect on the interpretation of the news story.
From the Paper
"The first protests against the Iraq War actually began just prior to the onset of the war itself, at a time when it was becoming clear that the military preparations and intensified propaganda leading up to the invasion had passed a point of no return. In March of 2003, mass protests in both the United States and Britain, denominated the "World Says No to War" protests, attracted approximately 500,000 marchers nationwide. Since then the movement has had its ups and downs, but generally been able to sponsor large turnouts near the anniversary dates of the invasion (March of each year.) Many have commentated that this level of organization and turnout is remarkable given the lack of a military draft, which in past times (notably the Vietnam war) has substantially enlivened anti-war movements (Garfinkle.)"

Abstract
This paper discusses the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) involvement in Iraq before the 2003 invasion and how it contributed to the war with Iraq. Specifically, it contains information on the CIA's initial studies on Iraq and includes a personal opinion regarding the CIA's influence on beginning the war. It explains how the CIA's reports on Iraq and their weapons of mass destruction before the invasion of Iraq helped move the invasion forward and justify the war to the American people. It asks how the CIA's intelligence went so wrong and whether there are still weapons of mass destruction hidden in Iraq.
From the Paper
"Before the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 by the allied forces of Great Britain and the United States, there was a large and comprehensive political outpouring of information and material justifying the pending invasion by both American and British sources. One of the most vocal agencies in this prelude to war was America's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In October 2002, the CIA released a multi-page report discussing "Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction Programs," which went on to detail the various reasons why Iraq was a threat to the United States and the world."

Abstract
This report focuses on showing how the leaders of the United States and other First World nations have blatantly attacked a sovereign nation with the sole purpose of extracting that nation's oil reserves for the oligarchy and future positioning of the precious resource.
From the Paper
"Some history on the Iraqi nation has shown that they are and have not been financially stable even with all of this natural resource available. Iraq is actually an original member of the Ottoman Empire but was occupied by Britain during World War I. "In stages over the next dozen years, Iraq attained its independence as a kingdom in 1932. A "republic" was proclaimed in 1958, but in actuality a series of military strongmen have ruled the country since then, the latest was Saddam Hussein." (Iraq) In the mid 1980's, the nation of Iraq created for itself a massive financial problem due to its high expenditures to support an eight-year war with Iran. Iraq also suffered mass destruction of their oil export facilities during that war which caused them deplete income and forced them to borrow large amounts of money from the world in an effort to maintain itself. "Iraq suffered economic losses from the war of at least $100 billion. After hostilities ended in 1988, oil exports gradually increased with the construction of new pipelines and restoration of damaged facilities." (Iraq)"
