Abstract
This paper discusses and answers the question whether the US attack on Iraq is justifiable or not, and by supporting this stance with details, facts and information regarding issue. It presents arguments such as the freeing the Iraqi people of a dictator and providing them with freedom of rule. It also looks at the real threat of weapons of mass destruction and questions whether the U.S. has the right to launch such an attack.
From the Paper
"It is important that to understand the political issue of war against Iraq, a discussion of the US government?s reasons for planning the attack against Iraq is needed. In the research that the author of this paper had conducted, there are three (3) main reasons why the US is motivated to declare war against Iraq. The first aim of the US government for planning the attack on Iraq is that it wants to prevent, and eradicate the threat that Iraq poses on the safety and security of the US nation. Secondly, the threat of Iraq?s use of deadly weapons against the US (and possibly, on other nations) also poses another serious and more deadly threat, possibly threatening the security and stability of all nations in the world: the success of Iraq?s attack against US (if Iraq will be successful in destroying the freedom, stability, and security of the nation) will lead to the eventual spread of Saddam Hussein?s (leader-dictator of Iraq) power not only over Iraq, but also possibly in the whole of the Middle Eastern region. Thus, if US will not attack Iraq first, there is the possibility that Iraq will continuously terrorize US through its terrorist activities, and this is a truly dangerous possibility for people who value freedom and equality. Lastly, and perhaps the reason that most concerns the Iraqis, the US attack on Iraq will eventually result to a free Iraq, with no Saddam Hussein to dictate, abuse, and corrupt its people, ending years of helplessness and suffering of the civilians, the Iraqis, from Hussein?s ?iron fist? dictatorship, and constant abuse and violence that he subjects to all people whop fail to subordinate himself to Hussein. The following texts will discuss and support in detail the following reasons, answering the question of the necessity for the US to stage an attack against Iraq."

Immediately, the batallion was faced with heavy fire and a strenuous counterattack."

"The Use of Helicopters in the Vietnam War
This research paper describes and evaluates the role of helicopters during different phases of the Vietnam War. Because of technological developments and the nature of that conflict, helicopters were used extensively by American and South Vietnamese armed forces to perform a variety of functions. These were primarily in the nature of tactical and logistical support to troops in the field, which greatly enhanced mobility and firepower on the ground of the anti-Communist forces in South Vietnam. In the early phases of the war (1956-1964) that role evolved in part to compensate for weaknesses in the South Vietnamese army (ARVN) but soon became an integral feature of the effort to counter communist control of the South Vietnamese countryside. As American military involvement in the war escalated..."

Abstract
The paper highlights the entwined American reactions to the September 11 attacks and the Pearl Harbor attacks. The paper illustrates the similarities in which the over-prevailing backgrounds of each event created reactions to the devastating measures that promptly gave escalation to the wars that have been fought. The paper also looks at the integration of the memory of Pearl Harbor in American reactions to September 11 attacks. Subsequently, the paper reflects on the similarities in repercussions of the attacks on the Pearl Harbor, as well as the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor and the attacks by Al Qaeda on September 11 had many similarities. Some of these similarities have been presented in this paper. However, several more situations of contrasts are likely amid the attack on Pearl Harbor and the attack on September 11. In the Second World War, at Pearl Harbor, the American military under President Roosevelt had blocked approximately 8 percent of the Japanese force from either fulfilling its vicious objectives or retreating back to Japan. During the attacks on the September 11, airplane travelers prevented 25 percent of the Al Qaeda force from fulfilling its evil designs, avoiding an American icon from stern harm or complete obliteration. American intelligence agencies gave out a warning for war prior to the attack on the Pearl Harbor in the Second World War, and the American military had been able to counter the opponent. However, on September 11, intelligence agencies did report of likely terrorization attempts by Al Qaeda terrorist but these reports had not been converted into a forceful caution under President Bush, and the American military had been unsuccessful in getting in the way of the suicidal operation of Al Qaeda."

Abstract
This dissertation provides an examination of the anthrax mailings to determine how the U.S. Postal Service responded and what organizational structures were in place to facilitate or impede that response. The role and importance of the U.S. Postal Service is discussed and its history and evolution is described. The examination is presented over the course of six chapters and concludes that there were significant failures on the part of the postal service to provide adequate protections for its workers while the investigation was being conducted, largely as a result of an organizational culture that placed productivity above safety considerations.
Introduction
The History and Development of the U.S. Postal Service
Modern Postal Bureaucracy
Anthrax in the Mail: Attack and Response
Values in Conflict
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have resulted in vastly increased scrutiny of many aspects of government functioning, as major wars and national cataclysms have done in the past. In this new environment, it is important to understand what conflicting bureaucratic values may represent the opposing perspectives of providing open access to the postal system versus protecting the system and its workers from terrorist attacks in the future? "Few aspects, perhaps," Wise says, "have received more attention than the question of whether government in general, and the federal government in particular, has the right organizational structure to meet the requirements for homeland security." Immediately following the attacks, the president made a determination that there was a glaring need for improvements in security organization; in response, he established the Office of Homeland Security by executive order on October 8, 2001, less than one month following the terrorist attacks."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to discuss the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and to analyze the incomplete intelligence by the United States and the divided responsibility for not knowing about the attack in advance and not being able to fight it off when it came.
The rising sun, Japan's ensign, appeared over Pearl Harbor on the wings of hostile aircraft on the morning of December 7, 1941, and bombing with devastating precision, the enemy proceeded to cripple the U.S. battle fleet, damage the base, and kill 2,403 Americans.
The attack can never be adequately explained, because it was an irrational response to a miscalculated provocation--or, more accurately, a series of provocations. The first step in the long process which ended that disastrous Sunday had been taken nearly ... "

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Backups and CDs where the confidential files are saved have become one of the favorite attacking and breeding grounds for crackers because if these backups are updated on the deletions but include all the latest versions being used, then the hacking or access to these backups could be more fatal. A factor leading this trend is the increased security in the server database (Committee on Computing and Communications, 2005). Another important thing to note is that tangible backups kept by a company are far more easier to reach and thus at risk to being stolen by crackers in order to get hold of the sensitive data; which is why their security is as important as software and data stored on the computer. In addition, eavesdropping, i.e. interfering and interpreting encrypting data during its transfer, and its decoding, is emerging as another highly utilized hacking application. Another most common hacking application used currently is to construct a decoy website for an evidently "account information" renewal, a.k.a. as "Phishing" that can easily turn out to be a trap a hole to get into the system and acquire data (Committee on Computing and Communications, 2005).

9/11 Attacks, 2003.
An up-beat paper showing that America did not suffer too much from the 9/11 attacks.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper covers the idea that America was not crippled by the attacks of September 11, 2001, and that such attacks will never accomplish the intended goals. It discusses America's propensity to bounce back after 9/11, from the average citizen up to presidential levels, and the response that ensued. Discredits the claim that such attacks have harmed America or the economy.
From the Paper
"Cowardly acts of terrorism will never be enough to destroy the American way of life. As President George W. Bush told the country after the September 11 attacks, "Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America." In fact, if anything, these acts and others have only served to strengthen and reinforce American ideals, thus bringing the country closer together rather than tearing us apart. Americans should not fear that terrorism will cripple the country or destroy the way of life we enjoy."

Shark Attacks, 2008.
A discussion on whether our fears of shark attacks are realistic or plain hysteria.
1,121 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses that human beings tend to view sharks very differently from other aquatic species, based on the fact that many people have fallen victim to attacks by sharks. The paper then relates that our characterization of sharks as ruthless killers intent on consuming us reflects our emotional response to the concept of being eaten alive. The paper also relates that, contrary to assumption, sharks - even those large enough to consume us - do not actually hunt human beings and that, more often than not, shark attacks on humans are often cases of mistaken identity. The paper concludes with the observation that many species of shark are capable of being hand-fed in the wild without protective enclosures to ensure the safety of the feeders which illustrates how exaggerated the general fear is of unprovoked attack by sharks.
From the Paper
"Like dolphin, tuna, swordfish, and many other large predatory aquatic species with which we are familiar, sharks must locate and consume other organisms to survive. To do so, they have all evolved physiologically and behaviorally to adapt to their environment and to guarantee successful hunts often enough to survive. Unlike the other aquatic species, we fear attack from sharks disproportionately to the ual risk, simply by virtue of the fact that some of them are large enough to mistake us for their prey under the right circumstances. Our characterization of sharks as ruthless killers intent on consuming us reflects our emotional response to the concept of being eaten alive than

Shark Attacks, 2002.
A analysis of the behavior of sharks in their own environment and why they attack humans.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will discuss why shark attack human beings and how they hunt in the environment that they live in. By analyzing the behavior of sharks, we can see that most attacks on human beings are mistakenly made for seals or other marine life that sharks prefer to eat. The fact that sharks may not even like the taste of human flesh is the framework in realizing that sharks are not the vicious killers that people think they are. Sharks do not attack people for pleasure, or even for food, but are mistaken identities for marine life and/or weather conditions that sharks do prefer to hunt in their environments.
