Abstract
This paper takes the position that, in light of the aftermath of the post-September 11 war with Iraq, Bush's justifications for going to war were questionable. The paper examines those justifications, as well as the facts and issues surrounding Bush, and the way they were reported by major-market journalists.
From the Paper
"The justifications for the American attack on Iraq in March, 2003, was largely based on the political decisions of President George W. Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and others in his administration, that: a) Saddam Hussein was in the process of developing ?weapons of mass destruction? and the United Nations inspectors should not be given more time to search suspected sites in Iraq for them; b) Saddam Hussein was linked to bin Laden?s group of Islamic extremists, or terrorists, and was giving support and/or sanctuary to al Queda; c) Saddam Hussein was in the process of building nuclear weapons; c) attacking Saddam was part of the administration?s ongoing ?war on terrorism.? But those justifications have not stood up well to the test of truth, and the test of time."

From the Paper
"This paper presents a hypothetical "what if" scenario. What would have happened to both South East Asia and the United States had the U.S. won the Vietnam War. What would have happened, from a political, social and economic perspective. Would there even have been a Nixon presidency? If so, what would it have been like? Would Vietnam be more developed, less, or the same? Would Vietnam have recovered faster.
As is the case with any hypothetical scenario, interpretations are highly subjective, although they can be based in fact. After the peace accord between Vietnam and the United States was signed in Paris in April of 1975, Vietnam found itself in the midst of enormous political, social and economic upheaval. Politically, the communist regime was in full control. Socially, the country was in disarray. The infrastructure had.."

Aftermath of "The War of The Worlds", 2006.
A look at how H.G. Wells utilized the fantastic science fiction story of "The War of The Worlds" to project subtle social commentary about the human condition.

Abstract
This paper extracts the major social themes from the book "The War of the Worlds". The paper utilizes specific examples from the text to support the argument that the novel was more than just science fiction. The issues Wells addresses are - survival, evolution, natural selection, colonization and technology.
From the Paper
"Imagine running down a crowded London street, with a hundred or so friends and neighbors, trying to escape a three legged, Heat-Ray wielding alien. H.G. Wells puts the reader in this scenario in his novel, The War of The Worlds. The novel was published in 1898 and is at least partly responsible for the popularity of literature on the subject of extra terrestrial invasion. The book describes a twenty-one day period where alien invaders from Mars land on Earth and attempt to colonize the planet for themselves. The story is filled with all of the technology and futuristic speculation that science fiction readers crave. However, there is something else in this work. Looking deeper than the surface level entertainment of wanton destruction reveals a layer of social commentary on the human condition. There are times Wells uses the aliens to contrast the human race and times that he draws specifically eerie correlations. The unnamed narrator in the text recounts the story after he lived through the experience. Because this allowed the narrator a period of reflection before telling his tale, the audience is given a privileged view of his perspective during and after the invasion. Wells utilizes the narrator's voice to convey his messages about the state of human affairs. The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells provides readers with both a fantastic tale of science fiction and insightful social commentary."

Abstract
This paper studies the fictional works of Pak Wan-so and Cho-Chong-rae to illuminate the history and aftermath of the Korean War. The author acknowledges that using works of fiction as historical references is controversial. However, she maintains that these authors accurately and intentionally represent what it was like to live during these tumultuous times and give the reader a vicarious experience of the challenges of war for Koreans. The paper focuses on female author Pak Wan-so's "The Naked Tree", which depicts the effects of the Korean War on the emotional lives of its survivors and their journey from despair to optimism. Next, the paper turns to Cho Chong-rae's powerful anti-war message in "Playing with Fire", about the moral ambiguities of war and its debilitating effects on the personal moralities of those who survived it. Issues examined include the destabilization of family life and a national period of disillusionment and questioning. Also studied is Korea's relationship with the United States and Korean attitudes toward America.
From the Paper
"In The Naked Tree by Pak Wan-so (Pak Wan-so, The Naked Tree, pages 1-188. Trans. Yu Young-nam. East Asia Program, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York: 1995.) Pak depicts Kyong-a's, the female protagonist's, struggle to overcome the sense of hopelessness that permeates war torn South Korea. Everywhere Kyong-a turns she witnesses the irrecoverable damage done by the war on individual lives that profoundly alters her sense of being. Both Kyong-a and her mother experience incredible tragedy and struggle to recover. Pak seems to ask how did the war affect the emotional lives of women who lost relatives? Her answer is hopeful; yet, because of the trajectory of history it is intertwined with memories of irrecoverable loss. Ultimately, Pak suggests that the memories of the damage done by the war have left their imprint on the families who have survived and is a testimony to their strength as well to their suffering."

The Great War and the Disintegration of Western Society, 2002.
Examining the ways in which the aftermath of the First World War impacted European society.

Abstract
This paper explains how the First World War signaled a dramatic shift in the fundamental ways in which the nations of the Western World perceived themselves in the decades to come. It discusses how scholars explain that the wake of World War I initiated a lack of faith in Western society for its own institutions, leaders, and philosophies; and how the disintegration of traditional ideas in the aftermath of the Great War spread far and wide among the populations of the Western nations.
From the Paper
"Suddenly, the end of optimism necessitated a need to question, even dismiss, many of the basic values of culture that had once been accepted. As is articulated in John Steele Gordon?s retrospective "What We Lost in The Great War", survivors of the war were impelled to reassess their loyalties; "Because of the war," he writes, "it seemed to many a matter of inescapable logic that Western culture must be deeply, inherently flawed" (pp. 83). An explanation of this phenomenon is easy to ascertain; because Western culture had mired itself in the war, the ideologies and institutions of Western culture must therefore be faulty. The faith of the Western world in the soundness of its civilization was thus primed for disintegration, newly replaced with feelings of disillusionment and shame(Gordon, pps. 84-86)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the United States, as part of its imperialist expansion, annexed Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Philippines during the War. The author points out that the cause of American imperialism and the popular desire for expanding the country?s influence beyond its borders was taken up by the popular press of the time, but was vigorously opposed by several prominent figures, such as Andrew Carnegie and Mark Twain. The paper concludes that the war carries significant lessons for the students of history that are especially relevant in the current global environment, in which the US is once again looking to assert its political and military power.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"True to the advice of its founding fathers like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, the United States had, in the first century of its existence, kept well away from foreign entanglements and concentrated on its domestic consolidation. After the American Civil War (1861-1865) the country experienced rapid industrial growth. This led to the need and desire for expanding its markets beyond its frontiers and for showing its political and military muscle at the international scene. The Monroe Doctrine and the rallying cry of the country?s ?manifest destiny? became popular slogans in the country as more and more Americans began to believe that territorial expansion by the United States was both inevitable and ?divinely ordained.? Certain events in the neighboring territories were soon to provide it the opportunity to flex its muscles."

Background of the War and its Causes
Aftermath & Significance of the War for the American & Californian Societies
From the Paper
"In order to understand fully the significance of the Mexican-American War, it is important to briefly examine its background and causes. Much before the start of its war with Mexico, the Americans were infused with the concept of Manifest Destiny : the view that the United States had a God-given mandate to expand its territories in the West in order to spread the American ideals of freedom and democracy to the supposedly inferior and uncivilized peoples of the Continent (Decebal, n.d.)."

From the Paper
"As for nuclear weapons, Saddam?s nuke plans had suffered significant set-backs by an Israeli pre-emptive strike in 1981 and the dismantling of as many as 40 secret nuclear-research facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency before the UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in December, 1998. It is, therefore, almost certain that Saddam does not have a nuclear bomb as yet, but it is equally certain that his atomic bomb program has been revived. This is reflected in signs of re-location of Iraq?s nuclear scientists towards the country?s five nuclear research sites and the intelligence reports of Saddam trying to buy large quantities of uranium from African countries."

World War II, 2004.
An analysis of how the Second World War was a result of a failure on part of the Allies to enforce the terms of the treaties they made, both with Germany and with each other.

Abstract
This paper examines how, in the aftermath of the First World War, there were great efforts made to establish the party or parties responsible for the outbreak of the war and a great desire to justify the belief of the Allies that Germany had been the aggressor; the result of this was the 'war guilt' clause of the Treaty of Versailles. It looks at how, after the Second World War, however, few attempts seem to have been made to establish Germany?s guilt, even though it had, in blatant defiance of the Treaty of Versailles, amassed a large army, and as early as 1935, began, by military posturing and political manipulation, to invade and annex various areas of land belonging to other sovereign nations. It analyzes how it is impossible to deny, looking fairly at the events leading up to the declaration of war against Germany by various nations in 1939, that the war would never have happened had Germany not been under the control of an ambitious warlord, Adolf Hitler, and how, although Hitler was indeed leading Germany down the path towards war, the Allies, consisting mainly of Great Britain and France, according to most historians had countless opportunities to bring a halt to the German war machine before it had the chance to create the formidable army introduced to Europe in 1939.
From the Paper
"In January of 1936, Hitler moved four German divisions to the border of the Rhineland. There he bided his time, waiting for a good opportunity. It came on March First, after the signing of a French-Russian non-aggression pact. Hitler gave orders for a ?surprise entry? into the Rhineland. On March 7th as many as three German divisions -- and possibly as few as one -- crossed over into the Rhineland. While the Rhineland rejoiced the return of the military, the world was unaware. Until noon, when Hitler announced, from the Kroll Opera House, that in the ?interests of the basic rights of its people to the security of their frontier and the safeguarding of their defense were re-established, as from today, the absolute and unrestricted sovereignty of the Reich in the demilitarized zone of the Rhineland.?

From the Paper
"Volunteers in Connecticut were paid for their services. It is reported that the Westport Board of Selectmen was authorized to take $2,000 from the town?s budget to pay volunteers to enlist in the Army. 10 Additionally individuals could avoid having to enlist in the military by paying other individuals $300 to take their place. This particular practice was known as substitution and was a common practice in Connecticut and other Northern states. By July of 1864 the city of Westport budgeted another $20,000 to pay substitutes for their enlistment.10 Eventually this payment system led to an informal class structure, in which poor Irish families served in the army so that their financial needs would be met."

Abstract
A discussion of the important events of The Cold War and issues that still impact American foreign and domestic policy today. The author looks at how although The Cold War may be over officially, the repercussions are still felt throughout the world and many policies have not changed. The author shows how problems still occur for countries such as North and South Korea, Taiwan and Cuba. It may be decades before the aftermath of the Cold War is no longer felt regarding U.S. foreign policies.
From the Paper
"The end of World War II saw the rise of two dominating nations, the communist Soviet Union with one of the most powerful armies in the world, and the United States, great power of the western nations and the world?s economic leader. After the fall of Nazi Germany, both nations vied for what was considered the grand prize of Central Europe, Berlin. This was the beginning of tensions as the Soviets? desire for nuclear knowledge and world domination did not mix well with the United States? democratic society (Cold War pg). In 1949, tensions between the two countries climbed when the Soviets detonated their first atomic bomb. Both super powers now had atomic weapons and both despised one another. This was the beginning of the Cold War, called thus because the confrontation was not actual full combat, fearing nuclear annihilation."

U.S. Cold War Foreign Policy Failures, 2002.
This paper discusses that the foreign policy failures of the U.S. in Cuba and Vietnam were the results of a foreign policy based on Cold War ideology.

Abstract
This paper explains that the American failures in Cuba and Vietnam in the 1960s were due in large part to the fear, arrogance and ignorance of Cold War containment policies that developed in the aftermath of World War II. The author believes that the problem was the assumption that all political and economic reform movements in Third World nations were not indigenous but were inspired instead by the evil Communist leaders of the Soviet Union. The author states that once this Cold War policy was in effect, no leader of the U.S. had the courage, wisdom or political independence to try to alter fully that policy.
From the Paper
"Kennedy certainly entered office under the pall of the same Cold War ideology and its containment policy, as evidenced by his "missile gap" rhetoric, his increase of advisors in Vietnam, and the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. It will never be known whether he would have averted a war in Vietnam, but his test-ban treaty with the Soviets, his denunciation of the CIA after the Bay of Pigs disaster, and his plan to withdraw some troops from Vietnam indicate at least a willingness to consider more flexibility in that policy."
