Abstract
This paper explores how the Bush Administration is driven by concerns from industry, including oil and transportation, and that this might arguably impact national policy.

This paper investigates the current policies of the Bush Administration and their interests in industry- related lobbies. This paper shall be written with an emphasis on environmentalism in order to demonstrate why some organizations feel that the industries and the Bush Administration are too closely connected at this time.

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of the morality of the George Bush administration. The writer looks at classic texts to garner a sense of what political morality should be about and then holds the administration of Bush against the measurement to illustrate the lack of morality and the fact that it failed to promote the happiness of the United States people. In addition, the author explores the negative impact that was felt by other nations under the watchful lack of morality by the Bush administration.
From the Paper
"Bush showed himself to be lacking ethics and morals in many of the decisions he made and that lack of ethics or morals created an atmosphere of unhappiness in the American public that elected him to office. "For an evangelical Christian, George W. Bush does not seem to have a well-developed sense of sin--at least as far as the nation is concerned. In his speech, President Bush expressed a far-reaching commitment to "liberty" and "the force of human freedom" in the world--values that most Americans, religions or not, would readily affirm. The president has often rightly acknowledged that "freedom" is a gift from God, not the possession of any nation. But his remarkable speech announced that the role of deciding if, when, and where freedom will be defended belongs to the United States of America; America is on a religious mission to protect freedom, and George Bush is freedom's vicar.""

Abstract
This paper details the basic characteristics and ideologies of conservatism, according to views and opinions of theoreticians. From an economical perspective, conservatism pledges for a minimal implication of the state in national economic process or towards income equality. The writer of this paper contends and explains why President Bush's administration basically follows a conservative ideology. One example would be the military privatization policies, that are aimed at increasing the strength of the military arsenal through private investments, while at the same time increasing the power of certain lobby groups and major supporters of the administration. On the flip-side, this paper discusses various policies of the Bush administration that are viewed as liberal and non-conservative, such as: The Medicare Modernization Act, Social Security Reform and the No Child Left Behind Program, which do not have the individualistic characteristics one would expect from a neoconservative government. This paper also delves into the impact of the Patriot Act, which seems to be endangering some of the fundamental liberties of the American individual.
From the Paper
"It seems thoroughly strange to note, however, that many of the Bush policies could rather be classified as liberal or, at least, as not belonging to the conservative ideology. For once, the large federal spending, especially during the first term, is a classic measure that liberal governments use to stimulate growth and production. As a measure of governmental spending, it is by all cases an implication of the state in the economic processes, something which, as we have seen, is certainly not conservative. In turn, large governmental spending levels increase budgetary deficit, as was the case during Bush's first term. On the other hand, some social policies, including here the Medicare Modernization Act and the Social Security Reform, but also the No Child Left Behind program, certainly do not have the individualistic characteristics we would expect from a neoconservative government."

Abstract
In an analysis of the Bush administration's conduct before and after 9/11, this paper discusses the shortcomings of the administration's foreign policy. The paper argues that the most celebrated of its foreign policy shortcomings is the failure by anyone in the administration to act on various bits and pieces of intelligence regarding individuals with known associations to the al Qaeda. The paper also criticizes the administration's unwillingness to confront the factual details surrounding September 11th and the contrast between the implications of the event and the opportunistic, internationally despised responses which the administration has been unwavering in applying in such venues as Afghanistan and Iraq. To conclude, the paper offers two major policy recommendations. First, it suggests that the only clear path for reconciliation with the international community is to begin anew with fresh leadership. Second, which is conditional upon implementation of the first, it suggests beginning a process of reconciliation with former allies.
From the Paper
"It has been indicated with absolute consistency, both domestically and internationally in case after case of intelligence community documentation, that there was a widespread awareness of the growing threat of domestic terrorism. In the transition between the Clinton and Bush administration's, outgoing National Security Advisor Sandy Berger informed the incoming Condoleeza Rice to anticipate that Osama bin-Laden would be her number one priority. This was a message that was consistent with President Clinton's exponentially increasing financial and diplomatic focus on the terrorist threat of bin Laden that even resulted in a nearly successful attempt on the Saudi mastermind's life."

From the Paper
"In October of ... , the White House embarked on a public relations campaign that represented a new approach in trying to bolster public support in the U. S. for the Iraq War. Absent any discovery of Weapons of Mass Destruction WMDs, White House public relations have focused on a media approach that is an attempt to sidestep the White House press corps. The new public relations approach focuses on local media including newspapers, speeches and local television broadcasts. The new public relations approach was implemented due ..."

Abstract
An analysis of the first year of the Bush administration in terms of the U.S. role in world affairs. Critics have termed Bush an isolationist president, and this paper examines the issues. The paper concludes that Bush cannot be termed isolationist.
From the Paper
"George W. Bush rightly insists he is not an isolationist. However, his ongoing failure to ratify international treaties is not well received in the International community. At the current rate, Bush will end his four-year presidential term with more than 40 international treaties destroyed or significantly weakened. The Bush administration has rejected the Anti-ballistic Missile Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol on global warming, the ban on biological weapons, and has further attempted to distance itself from International Criminal Court and withdraw the nuclear ban from Senate consideration.

Abstract
A paper discussing the Bush Administration?s Middle East Policies in the light of the recent comment by Joseph Nye regarding extremism. The author of the paper argues that the U.S. needs to steer a cautious and well-thought out Middle East Policy in the aftermath of the war in Afghanistan and its declared ?war against terrorism.? He continues that in the ongoing standoff between Sharon?s Israel and the Palestinians, the continued U.S. tilt towards Israel and dithering towards exerting its influence to restrain Israel from excessive use of force, is not going to help either the establishment of peace in the Middle East or its anti-terrorism crusade.
From the Paper
"Joseph Nye?s warning comes at an appropriate time. He has a point because in the Middle East, and the Third World in general, the US Policy in the Middle East is viewed as arrogant and overbearing. Israel has not let go of the West Bank, Golan Heights and Gaza that it occupied in the 1967 war, on the excuse that that they are essential for its security, and kept them under military occupation ever since and built settlements on land that rightfully belongs to the Palestinians. It has not implemented the Oslo Accord meant to allow the Palestinian Authority to govern these areas. The real reason for the control of these lands by Israel is its right-wingers obsession to claim these areas under the justification that the land belonged to them in biblical times. This argument is so dangerous and can unleash unlimited wars in the world if it is universalized."

From the Paper
"On August 2001, the commission came up with its interim plan outlining the state of current program. This report bred considerable controversy mainly on the Social Security Trust Fund and the overall undertakings of the plan. The commission however, submitted the final recommendations to the President in December 2001. It comprised of three separate reform proposals that were based on personal retirement accounts; each individual was required to pay benefits as high as the current program at a lower long term cost. This also aimed at providing workers with the opportunity to build assets and wealth in their personal accounts which they would control and own."

Abstract
The paper argues that the Bush Administration's 'Economic Recovery Act' is an essentially faulty fiscal policy of pairing marginal income tax cuts with an uncontrolled and misappropriated discretionary spending approach. The paper claims that by reducing the national income, as would be the case with tax cuts made permanent, the Bush administration is more than likely to stifle growth and growth potential. The paper contends that this a threat to the future economic posterity of the United States, given the inevitability that such fiscal policies will inhibit rather than stimulate spending, long-term consumer confidence and sustainable growth.
From the Paper
"During the campaign to the 2000 presidential election, the incumbent party had a list of economic achievements under its belt which included a record low of unemployment rates, a balanced budget--even a surplus--and a broad trend of rapid economic growth. The opposition, represented by our current president, George W. Bush, came to office under the promise of repaying the American public its investment in the economy. As it took office, the economy plunged into recession, with the market correcting itself of the unprecedented expansion of the previous decade. With events like the Enron scandal revelation, the continually detrimental culture of corporate malfeasance and the costly attacks of September 11, 2001, the economy's correction' transformed into a serious recession. The Bush Administration responding by fulfilling its promise, passing an 'Economic Recovery Act' designed to stimulate a return to growth. Its primary avenue to accomplishing this would be the essentially faulty fiscal policy of pairing marginal income tax cuts with an uncontrolled and misappropriated discretionary spending approach."

Abstract
This paper shows how the Bush administration has relaxed rules and changed regulations for the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), which has in turn caused harm to the environment. Ensuring clean air and water is the most pressing issue for the future of the entire world, not just the United States, and the changes in regulations have caused many to believe that foreign policy and setting a good example through what the United States is doing has become unimportant to the Bush administration. The writer shows that there are many issues that Bush must address when it comes to the environment, and it is vital that he do so now, so that the EPA can continue to do its job with efficiency and so that other countries will see the importance of keeping pollution out of the air and water.
From the Paper
"The environment and its cleanliness are vitally important for the survival of the human race. This is true in the United States, and in other countries all over the world. Because it is such an important concern, one would think that the main goal of the current administration would be to take care of the environment to ensure that it was clean and healthy for future generations, and to set a good example for the rest of the world. This would be the most logical scenario. However, there have been some recent occurrences which have caused many people to call into question the motives of the Bush administration and the President's stance on the environment, pollution, and foreign policy."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Bush doctrine of preemptive war and its manifestation in the Iraq War. The paper provides evidence that the Bush Administration provided fraudulent justifications and employed a mass media disinformation campaign in order to gain support for the war in Iraq. The paper highlights the failure of this invasion and emphasizes that this was aggression disguised as self defense.
From the Paper
"Analyzing the Bush doctrine as it relates to the war in Iraq requires examining the covert motivations of the Bush Administration while applying a credibility test to the "evidence" it offered to justify military intervention in Iraq. As Pitt and Ritter (2002) warned, once this "evidence" is dissected and compared to actual conditions in Iraq before the invasion, it is clear that Bush Administration "evidence" was systematically exaggerated, contrived, and concocted, and then peddled through the mass media to build a fraudulent case for war against Iraq."
