U.S. Invasions, 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the United States should not wage wars for the mere purpose of advancing its own interests, either economically or diplomatically, mainly for reasons of humanity. It looks at how she must realize the legitimacy of allowing sovereign nations the ability to determine their own course and decide how to proceed in terms of the maintenance of their own resources and policies of governance. It shows how, until the United States undertakes such a policy and adheres to it, people will continue to hate the United States, and new terrorists and converts to the attacking camp will sign themselves up daily.
From the Paper
"Indeed, the United States makes its foreign policy based on this morally and ethically ill-conceived notion that other nations ought to find their bullying and grotesque policies acceptable. Here, Vidal locates this sort of idea in a historical situation and moment?the Vietnam War. In retrospect, many scholars and even politicians find themselves willing to admit that the war in Vietnam should very likely fall into the category of mistaken foreign policy. Nonetheless, most of the people in power continue to praise the containment policy that created the situation and the first place and give containment policy the credit for ending the cold war."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and discusses the Bay of Pigs invasion, implemented and designed by President John F. Kennedy, and the impact this failed maneuver had on American foreign policy and on American-Soviet, as well as American-Cuban relations. The paper describes the attempted invasion, the Cuban response to the invasion, the events leading up to the invasion and why it represents one of the worst political disasters in recent U.S. history. The paper further discusses the political repercussions that followed the attempted invasion and its long-lasting impact on American-Cuban relations.
From the Paper
"On the morning of the invasion, it was reported that the exile forces, together with the CIA, had literally destroyed numerous locations, had landed in several provinces within Cuba, had freed thousands of political prisoners and had driven inland, practically dividing the whole country into two separate parts, not to mention placing the Cuban Navy in revolt. In reality, however, none of these claims were true, for the exile forces in the Bay of Pigs encountered immediate difficulties. For example, the location for the first assault was suppose to have been an isolated area, a good place for a surprise attack, yet the forces discovered a militia patrol which destroyed the element of surprise; the beachhead was suppose to be sandy and free of obstacles, yet many reefs were encountered which sank some of the boats. Worst of all, Castro's men were lying in wait just north of the original landing point. Much gunfire then erupted and the exile forces found themselves pinned down; to make matters worse, reports soon came in the Russian tanks were moving closer with every passing minute."

Turkish Foreign Policy, 2005.
Assesses the tensions in Turkey's post-Cold War era foreign policy.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
As Turkey has tried to find its place in the post-Cold War system, it has encountered problems stemming from its geopolitical position straddling both East and West. The paper shows that, in desiring both close ties to the West-particularly membership in the European Union and friendship with the USA, and Middle Eastern trade without involvement in Middle Eastern politics, it has frequently found itself at cross-purposes with regard to foreign policy. These competing goals of foreign policy have come to a head most notably in the Gulf War and the American invasion of Iraq. The paper shows that this situation is complicated by Turkish concerns over how foreign policy might affect the Kurdish population. The paper shows that the tensions between the competing goals of Turkish foreign policy-its eastern and western goals and its concern about how foreign policy might affect the Kurds--have caused some paralysis; Turkish foreign policy since the Cold War has been primarily reactive and in support of the status quo.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
The Kurds
The Gulf
The United States
The Middle East
Conclusion
Bibliography
From the Paper
"The biggest sources of competing goals in Turkish foreign policy are Turkey's concern over Kurdish nationalism and its position between East and West. Since the Cold War its concern over Kurds has been notably at odd with its alliance with the United States. Turkey's connection to the US has been winning out. The second source of tension, that of East and West, has intensified since the end of the Cold War. Since the 1950s, Turkey has tried to disengage from Middle Eastern politics and keeps its relationships in that region mainly economic, with the exception of Israel, with whom it has strategic and military ties."

"Their main preoccupation was what was going to happen in Czechoslovakia, which could be attacked from the north and the West as well as from the South. There was a mounting crisis in Czechoslovakia between the Germans and the Czechs because of the plight of a numerous group of people known as the Sudeten Germans. They were Germans living in Czechoslovakia, in the Sudeten land which was the hilly region which forms the border between Germany and Czechoslovakia. This part was till 1919 part of Austria and the Sudeten had been Austrian citizens in 1919. Czechoslovakia was politically dominated by the Czechs, 75 million, but it was ethnically speaking extremely heterogeneous, (in spite of the principle of self-government). Besides the Czechs, there were also several ethnic minorities, in particular 2.5 million Slovaks, half a million Hungarians, half a million Ruthinians, today Northern Ukrainians, 80,000 Poles, and above all 3.2 million Germans."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the U.S. led invasion of Iraq has invited a lot of controversy about the justification, legality and ethics of a ?pre-emptive? strike against a foreign government. It examines how although the U.S. government has justified it on several grounds, most countries in the rest of the world, notably France remain unconvinced. It looks at how the U.S. (and its coalition partners) justify the invasion of Iraq and compare it to the French position. It also analyzes the impact of the invasion on future international affairs.
Outline
U.S. Justification for the Invasion of Iraq
The Opposing (French) View Point
Analysis of the Two Positions
Tactless Diplomacy and Fear of American Power
The Real Agendas?
Impact of the Invasion on Future International Affairs
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even after the end of the War in Iraq, the controversy about whether the invasion was justified continues unabated both inside and outside the United States. The reasons for the continuing debate are not hard to find. In the days before the war there had been unprecedented demonstrations all over the world by peace activists against the war. During debate at the United Nations, the French government had threatened to use its veto to defeat a resolution that sanctioned an invasion of Iraq. Most other European countries, except the UK, and including Russia had supported the French position. Gerhard Schroder even won the recent German elections on the basis of his opposition to the Iraq war. Perhaps the only countries of significance that supported the war were Britain and Israel, and even in Britain there was significant opposition to the war among the public."

"Failure Of Hitler's And Napoleon's Invasions Of Russia
This research paper compares and contrasts the invasions of Russia undertaken by the Grande Armee of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1812 and by the Wehrmacht of Adolf Hitler in 1941-1943. In both cases, the invasions were launched by dictators who had imposed their will on the European continent and sought to remove the last major continental obstacle to their imperial ambitions; however, Hitler's motivations were much more complex than Napoleon's and adversely affected German strategic planning.
Each of them achieved spectacular initial successes, owing to the striking power of their forces, the initiative of their commanders and the errors of their enemies, only to be forced to retreat eventually by the inherent difficulties of attempting to conquer Russia because of its immense expanse, its inhospitable..."

Invasive Plants in North America, 2007.
An examination of invasive plants and their effect on the ecological stability of the United States.

Abstract
This paper examines the spread of invasive plant species, specifically in the United States, and explains the nature of some of these invasive species. The writer discusses how these plants are introduced to the United States, their negative effects on the environment, and methods of control. The The writer also discusses the leading hypothesis for how nonnative plant species become invasive, known as the "escape-from-enemy" hypothesis. The paper concludes that more education and awareness is needed in order to fight these invasive species which have the potential to destroy native ecosystems.
From the Paper
"Invasive plants are a major, if not well understood, threat to ecological stability in the United States if not the world. Some nonnative species that are introduced into a new habitat are entirely innocuous and have no detrimental effects. Others are ill-suited to the new environment and quickly expire. Some, however, are exceptionally well-suited for their new place in the world and quickly overcome all of the native species. The kudzu vine and the zebra mussel are examples of such aggressive, invasive species. Unfortunately for those environmentalists and social agencies interested in preventing the spread of invasive species, the attributes of a successful invasion are not well understood (Wolfe 705). Understanding how nonnative species become invasive must be one of the first priorities in the fight against their spread and the subsequent destruction of ecosystem stability."

The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq has invited a lot of controversy about the justification, legality, and ethics of a ?preemptive? strike against a foreign government. Although the U.S. government has justified it on several grounds, most countries in the rest of the world remain unconvinced. In this paper, the writer examines how the U.S. and its coalition partners justify the invasion of Iraq and compares it to the French position. It also discusses the impact of this invasion on future international affairs.
From the Paper
"The main reasons given by the US government (and its main ally, Britain) are that Iraq and its regime under Saddam Hussain possessed weapons of mass destruction; that it has failed to co-operate fully with UN inspectors as called for by UN Security Council resolutions; that the regime has links to terrorist groups including Al-Qaeda, and that Saddam Hussain?s regime posed ?a clear and present danger? to the United States and the rest of the world if left unchallenged. It was implied that the regime was likely to provide weapons of mass destruction (including biological weapons) to terrorist organizations with devastating effect. The US government, therefore, felt justified in leading a ?pre-emptive? strike on Iraq to find and destroy the weapons of mass destruction and to effect ?a regime change.? "

Abstract
This paper discusses the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931 in order to defend its national and economic interests in the area. The paper examines the events that led up to the invasion and then explores the incident itself in detail. America's reaction to the invasion is analyzed.
From the Paper
"According to Ronald E. Dolan, when Japan joined fourteen other nations in 1928 in signing the Kellogg-Briand Act which "denounced recourse to war for the solution of international controversies," it was a foregone conclusion that Japan would inevitably invade Manchuria in order to "defend its national and economic interests" in the area. 1 In response to this invasion in 1931, the League of Nations, set up after World War I through President Woodrow Wilson and the Treaty of Versailles, "issued a report condemning Japanese aggression" which prompted Japan to withdraw "from the League, thereby further heightening world tensions." 2 Not surprisingly, America's response to the invasion of Manchuria was typical of the time, for many American citizens and government officials were highly concerned that American interests in the area would lead to all-out war between Japan and the Western powers, not to mention the prevailing attitude among some Americans for an isolationist policy, i.e. complete separation from other nations in the context of disputes and military actions."

Invasion of Privacy, 2008.
An analysis of torts with regards to an invasion of an individual's right to privacy.

Abstract
This paper discusses an individual's right to privacy and the results of an invasion of that right. It specifically discusses a tort with regards to invasion of privacy. The paper analyzes the two basic elements that occur with invasion of privacy - the fact that the individual's right to privacy is invaded and the resulting damage that occurs as a result.
From the Paper
"The right of privacy in the private sector has taken on a whole new dimension since the times of Justice Brandies with the advent of the internet, email, YouTube and the myriad of personal blogs raise the specter of anyone becoming a world-wide celebrity. If you doubt the power of the internet to create celebrities out of the ordinary person, recall the "numa numa" phenomenon, the portly college lip syncing into his computer became an overnight celebrity via viral video. This was voluntarily placed on the internet, the repercussions of instant involuntary notoriety where unimagined in the late 19th century when the right of privacy was first put forward by Justice Brandies. There are many personal issues that individuals wish to keep private, and the vast amount of case law regarding all four aspects of invasion of privacy needs to be kept in context of the modern era of the internet, AIDS and the 24 hour cable news station."

Abstract
This paper details the events prior to the infamous invasion of Normandy which occurred on June 6, 1944, when the allied troops landed in France to begin the liberation of Europe. It describes the actual plans for the invasion, which were under the command of General Dwight David Eisenhower and was codenamed "Operation Overlord." It also details the events that transpired after the troops landed on the five beaches along the Normandy coast, codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.
From the Paper
"After the fall of France in 1940 and his subsequent defeat in the Battle of Britain, Adolf Hitler had boasted that he would build an impregnable array of defences all along the coast of France. He gave it the pompous name of "The Atlantic Wall". But despite immense efforts the defences were not ready by 1944. The Atlantic wall, though formidable, was hardly impregnable. In many places it was still incomplete, and the German commander in the West, Field Marshal Gerd von Runstedt dismissed it as a figment of Hitler's braggadocio. In November 1943, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, "The Desert Fox", victor of so many battles in North Africa was sent to France to take charge of the coastal defences."
