From the Paper
"On the international front Dole keeps his hand on the pulse of world affairs and quite often is sought out to help work out troubling solutions to severe world problems. He's particularly outspoken where it concerns Kosovo, NATO and Milosevic. Another area of keen interest to Dole is the area of the conflict between India and Pakistan and the possible use of atomic weapons.

"Introduction
No one enjoys paying taxes of any type, although they are now an unavoidable fact of American life. Income taxes did not exist until the early part of this century; for more than half of this nation's history, the government was financed without taxing the income of individuals. When that changed, the political landscape changed as well. Politicians now had to justify the spending programs which the taxes went to support (originally, the income tax paid off World War I), and the role of government began to change. The Internal Revenue Service is now a labyrinthine bureaucracy with complicated codes and rules which most Americans find confusing. For years, any politician who called for a decrease in income taxes was likely to find immediately support among voters. However, when presidential candidate Bob Dole called .."

Abstract
An examination of the business development plan currently employed by Dole Bananas. This analysis asks how well Dole is doing against others in the banana business and from what other directions Dole may face competition in the future. The paper discusses how well it is prepared to meet those challenges.
From the Paper
"Chiquita is indeed Dole's major competitor at least in terms of banana sales (it is not a significant competitor in terms of pineapples, for example) and the two companies have clearly tried in recent years to differentiate themselves from each other so as to grab a larger share of the market. This is difficult for the two companies to do because - without meaning to disparage the curving yellow fruit that nutritionists and kids both find to be close to the perfect food - what both companies are selling is basically the same. What Dole and Chiquita have had to do, as a result (as would any two other companies in their situation) is to try to find a way to convince the public that their products really aren't the same after all."

Abstract
This paper explains that Bob Marley was the first ever international Third World music superstar whose influence spread to every corner of the earth. The author describes, in detail, how Marley, who came from the slums of Jamaica, started his own band and record label and eventually toured the world. The paper underscores that, even now, more than 20 years after his untimely death, Bob Marley's name is known all over the planet and he is still the best-selling reggae artist in the world, controlling forty percent of the recent chart listings of "Billboard" magazine. The paper concludes that the key to Marley's success is not through advocating sex, money,or violence in his songs like current recording artists but through his religious beliefs of Rastafarianism and his message of love, peace and freedom for every living person, regardless of race, nationality or creed.
From the Paper
"Bob's final world tour (1980) began in Gabon, Africa and moving onto Zimbabwe, were his music had deeply affected the countries politics. Zimbabwe was under British colonial rule for almost a century and had just been freed after a long and brutal war. Marley's song "Zimbabwe" was a call for change saying "It take a revolution, to make a solution". During this time of war, this song was a national anthem, representing what the soldiers were fighting for. Marley was the only performer playing at the concert that wasn't native but was allowed because of the effect his music had on soldiers moral."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the reggae music artist Bob Marley used a speech by Ethiopian leader Halie Selassie for the song "War." The writer points out that Selassie was an African leader and also a major figure in the religion of Rastafarianism, of which Marley was a member. Marley was also known for his lyrical content in terms of his ability to directly address political issues of the time. The writer discusses that by looking at the song lyrics to the Bob Marley song "War," the listeners of the music and the readers of the lyrics can see how the artist is first of all a Rastafarian by religion, and then an activist by political involvement: the song shows both sides of Marley, the Rasta side and the political side. The writer maintains that despite an observation of his being above politics, Marley was also linked by association with politics by the explicit political themes he often chose as his message. The writer concludes that the result, whether through misinterpretation or intention, was not universally positive or peace-love, either.
From the Paper
"Bob Marley was seen by many as a representative voice of the Jamaican lower class and Rastafarian religion and culture, and there are explicit political connections to be made between his music and society, especially his work with the Wailers, during which time the song "War" was co-opted from Selassie's speech. At many times during Marley's life, the connections he made with politics were explicit, as when he used his stage to unite political leaders in a spirit of friendliness and hand-shaking, or when he sang about the dire situation in Africa in songs like "War," which as mentioned was directly taken from a political speech by the Rastafarian deity and Ethiopian dictator Haile Selassie. But at the same time, there is a tension between politics and religion/mysticism in Marley's life and lyrics that makes calling him a political leader or saying that he chose political reggae music difficult. To a true Rastafarian, which image Marley adhered to even at the heights of his international pop-stardom, involvement politics was to be avoided at all costs as a function of Babylon. But at the other end of the spectrum, Marley was definitely involved in political activities, and "War" signifies lyrically what is basically a political message about African unity and peace, only to be achieved through freedom from bondage."

Abstract
This paper discusses the life and works of Bob Marley. The paper contends that while Marley's suggested reforms did not being peace and transformation to the poor of Jamaica it did succeed as a general international music of protest. The paper explains that as the music became more popular and more commercially viable, so it was seen from some perspectives as having lost touch with the 'purity' of its essentially Rastafarian roots. However, in spite of this division, the paper illustrates how the music of Bob Marley played an extensive part in the activation and motivation of many protest movements against colonialism and racism throughout the world.

Political Protest
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Bob Marley is credited not only with creating and popularizing a certain style of music, but also with using music to focus attention on the plight of black people around the world and on various social issues. While he was deeply involved with the context and culture of his country, Marley's musical influence was felt internationally. His style of music and protest lyrics was later to be identified with the larger social struggle against unfair forms of oppression and dominance in the world. The lyrics and style of his music were also a comment on society and had enormous political and activist appeal. Many of his compositions were "...couched in general terms of confrontation, uplift, and redemption" (Domenico et al. 69) "

From the Paper
"Bob Dylan's voice, which has been compared to that of a "sheep in pain" among other not very flattering sounds, is almost certainly an acquired taste. What distinguished the singer from other folkies who aspired to 'make it' in the early sixties, was his astounding song-writing ability. At a time when lyrics of popular songs hardly merited a second thought, Dylan's topical poetry put into song made him stand out in New York's fledging folk movement. Dylan's first ever album was released under the Columbia label in 1962; it was simply titled "Bob Dylan" and contained mostly traditional folk and blues songs. If Dylan did not feel confident enough to introduce his original songs in his first album , he soon overcame the tentativeness. His second album, "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan," released in 1963, contained songs of such breathtaking range and variety that it astounded everyone."

Abstract
This paper explains that Bob Woodward's book "Plan of Attack" skillfully and with limited elucidation chronicles the decision-making process that lead up to the War in Iraq. The author of the paper then argues, based on his interpretation of Woodward's book, that the Iraq war was caused by a number of factors: 1) the desire of a core group of advisors to oust Saddam Hussein 2) the belief that ousting Hussein could be done with relative ease, 3) the events of September 11, and 4) the opportunity for a grand strategic play to democratize the Middle East.
From the Paper
"Even before President George W. Bush took his oath of office, the Vice President-elect Dick Cheney was focused on Iraq. In early January 2001, Cheney asked outgoing Secretary of Defense William Cohen to brief Bush on issues of national security, "adding that he wanted a serious 'discussion about Iraq and different options.' The president-elect should not be given the routine, canned, round-the-world tour normally given to incoming presidents. Topic A should be Iraq." A few days later, Bush received another critical national security briefing from CIA director George Tenet."
