Abstract
This paper explains that Glasser vs. United States helped lay the foundation for the reversal of convictions because of the defense counsel's conflict of interest that impeded the right to effective assistance of counsel under the Sixth Amendment. The author points out that the Sixth Amendment to the US Constitution, as emphasized in Glasser vs. United States, guarantees, in all criminal cases, trial by an impartial jury. The paper relates that this case has been a stepping-stone for subsequent legislation that has further expanded protection of a defendant?s rights.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The court concluded that Glasser was entitled to a new trial because of his lawyer?s conflict of interest that resulted in his receiving ineffective assistance, not because of claims to an impartial jury. However, this opinion was reversed and remanded, but the court affirmed that courts may not force a defendant to accept the appointment of counsel who is representing another defendant in the same proceeding. On further examination, the court stated the arrangement for Stewart to represent both Glasser and Kretske was voluntarily assumed by the parties and not passed upon them by the judge. The court also later decided to look at the degree of prejudice sustained by Glasser even though it had declined to do so earlier. The court stated that Steward had not cross-examined a witness, not because of conflict of interest, but because he thought the cross-examination would not assist Glasser. And, the court believed that Stewart?s failure to make objections was because he knew that the objections would be ruled frivolous. The court did not change its statements and findings about the impartial jury issue."

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Abstract
This paper discusses the United Nation's need to change or risk being a useless organization. It looks at how the basic philosophy of the United Nations is anti-American and how the United Nations is biased toward the countries that are anti-communist. In addition, the link between rogue states, terrorism, and terrorist leaders with the United Nations is discussed, showing that the United Nations supports terrorists in some ways. The fact that the United Nations has failed to prevent and has provoked more than one hundred wars throughout the world since its inception is also shown in the report. This report also looks at the United Nations charter and how it misleads one to believe that it is advocating peace when, in fact, it is a blueprint for war. A final subject examined by this report is the different actions that can be taken to improve the idea of the United Nations, as well as the organization as a whole.

Abstract
This paper provides an inquiry into the unique United Nations? intervention in Haiti. After a brief introduction to Haiti?s history and violent politics the paper focuses on the events leading up to the United Nations? intervention. The events comprising of the UN-monitored elections in 1990 leading to the installation of Jean- Bertrand Aristide as President, his overthrow and exile in a military coup, economic sanctions and naval blockade of Haiti and finally approval of the UN Security Council, for the first time, for forcible intervention to change the Government is briefly discussed. The paper focuses, in particular, on the decision making process in the United Nations Security Council. The lessons learned from the Haiti action are analyzed and conclusions are drawn regarding pointers to the future role of the UN in Peacekeeping and Nation Building.
Questions Discussed in the Paper:
What prompted the United Nations Security Council to sanction force for the restoration of democracy?
Was international peace and security so threatened by Haiti?s military government that the United Nations felt compelled to intervene?
Did the United Nations exceed its mandate?
Has democracy become such a widely accepted international norm that the United Nations has a right to restore it when a legally elected regime is forcibly overthrown?
If so, why only Haiti?
Did the United Nations allow the USA to use the Security Council to pursue its own regional purposes?
What role did the regional and other powers play in the build up to the intervention?
Has the concept of sovereignty been eroded by the actions of the UN Security Council in the 90s?
What are the consequences and lessons learned from the UN intervention in Haiti?
Does the United Nations have the wherewithal and resolve to sustain such interventions on a regular basis?
From the Paper
"Aristide ,who was attempting many revolutionary reforms which alienated the elite, was overthrown in a military coup d?etat in September 1991. While Aristide went into exile, members of his movement were subjected to executions, oppression and grave violations of human rights. The Organisation of American States imposed a trade embargo on Haiti. By February 1992 about sixteen thousand refugees fleeing Haiti had already arrived in Florida. In 1992 an OAS mediated accord to create a government of consensus failed. Meanwhile the US President signed an order stating that all boat people attempting to enter USA from Haiti would be sent back without determining whether they had legitimate claims for asylum."

Abstract
The United States sends Israel about $3 billion in financial and military aid every year. Most Americans--60 to 70 percent--approve of U.S. support of Israel. Others argue that this foreign aid intensifies the tension between the United States and Arab countries, who believe that Israel should withdraw from territories that rightfully belong to Palestinians. This paper debates to what extent the United States should get involved with problems in the Middle East, including whether or not U.S. aid to Israel should continue.
Outline
The United States Must Wage a War Against Middle Eastern Terrorism
The United States Should Continue to Support Israel
The United States Should Go to War with Iraq
The United States Should Promote Democracy in the Middle East
The U.S. War on Terrorism is Unethical
The United States Should Stop Supporting Israel
The United States Should Not Go to War with Iraq
From the Paper
"According to Zunes, since its inception in 1948, Israel has proven a useful ally to the United States, especially during the Cold War. For instance, Israel's powerful military, the strongest in the region, keeps potential enemies of the United States--such as Syria, a Soviet ally during the Cold War--under control. In addition, Israel's numerous wars provided battlefield testing of American arms, often against Soviet weapons. Furthermore, Israel's intelligence department has helped U.S. intelligence agencies gather information and plan covert operations in the Middle East. Finally, Israel possesses an enormous nuclear arsenal and has collaborated with the United States on weapons research and manufacture. Zunes states that "U.S. foreign policy is motivated primarily to advance its own perceived strategic interests." "

Abstract
This paper explains that the operational elements of the Army Special Forces can be traced to the units of the U.S. Office of Strategic Services, OSS, which infiltrated metropolitan France during World War II. The author points out that the Army's Special Forces, referred to as the legendary Green Berets, consist of a unique, unconventional combat arms organization, which are considered the most versatile special operations soldiers in the world. The paper relates that, today, special forces units, referred to as the "Quiet Professionals", are deployed throughout the world where they display their dominance through their unconventional warfare expertise and provide humanitarian assistance and training to indigenous forces.
From the Paper
"After World War II, Colonel Aaron Bank, Colonel Wendell Fertig and LTC Russell Volckmann took their OSS experience and formulated the principles of "unconventional warfare" that became the foundation of the Special Forces. According to the Army's official Lineage and Honors, the Special Forces Groups are linked to the regiments of the First Special Service Force, that elite group of Canadian-American forces who fought in North Africa, Italy, and Southern France. The SF sprung from the Special Operations Division of the Psychological Warfare Center that was established at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in May 1952, now known as the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School."

The League of Nations and the United Nations, 2005.
This paper discusses the participation of the U.S. in the League of Nations and the United Nations as an element of the American national interest.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the U. S. failed to support the League of Nations, America supported the United Nations because the supreme national interest of America was to obtain a world atmosphere in which the United States could grow its inner social values devoid of undue commotion or danger from the outside. The author points out that collective action via the United Nations instead of unilateral action was considered politically viable on key political issues. The paper concludes that the League of Nations and the United Nations disappointed hopes the following the two world wars because, in no way, can they be an autonomous political power; at best, the U.N. is a mirror image of the opposing interest of autonomous states.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the United States of America the major disagreement on both the groundwork venture and the refined Covenant of the League of Nations had been on the base that the League would function as an intrusion with the sovereignty of America and with the Monroe principle, that it concerned desertion of the traditional American policy, which had not been in favor of entrapped coalitions, and that the government did not have the power, within its Constitution, to insert such an agreement . Independence has revealed to be just so much freedom of action on the behalf of countries as is coherent with their responsibility, within international law and principles, to authorize the application of uniform independence or freedom of action by their sister countries. The League agreement had assured all States in their application of this sovereignty free from coercion by other Countries, and he who desires more is actually in search of the authorization thoughtlessly to ignore these commitments -- to refuse, for instance, the fair rulings of a properly established tribunal -- which is the German perception of independence."

"The public image of an organization is closely related to the survival of the business in an industry. An improved public image increases the chances of business catering to consumers that have already utilized the organization?s products/services. This further increases the chances of gaining consumers loyalty if the public image of the organization is sustained. With a sustained public image, organizations have the chance of increasing the number of loyal consumers of organizations? offerings, consequently improving the chances of businesses to maximize their profits and reduce costs by achieving economies of scale."

Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that in order for one to determine whether or not the United Nations has been successful at accomplishing its goals, one must look to the advantages and disadvantages of the United Nations. Further the writer notes that to do so, one must look at the United Nations' peacekeeping capabilities, arms control and disarmament policies, human rights work and humanitarian aid. The writer also discusses how those policies have been applied to member and non-member nations. The writer concludes that in order to move the United Nation towards its goals of bringing peace and improving the quality of life of all people, the United Nations may need to undergo a restructuring, which would make the United Nations more likely to intervene on behalf of citizens in less influential nations.
From the Paper
"One of the main critiques of the League of Nations, which was the predecessor to the United Nations, was that it had no power to enforce its recommendations. Therefore, a relative advantage of the United Nations is that it has the authority to send troops to locations where violence is threatened. This power is referred to as peacekeeping. According to the Human Security Centre, the United Nations' peacekeeping efforts appear to have resulted in a less violence world by eliminating colonial conflicts, reducing interstate wars, and reducing genocide and politicide. In fact, the most powerful testament to the United Nations' peacekeeping ability is the fact that there has not been a third world war. However, it would be inaccurate to simply label the United Nation's peacekeeping power solely as an advantage, because history has revealed that it has not been applied consistently. For example, the United Nations has either been reluctant to use its peacekeeping powers to aid people in Africa, or has proven woefully unsuccessful when it has attempted to do so."

Julius Caesar invaded Britain in 50-55 BC but it did not become a Roman Colony until the first century AD when it became the Roman province of Britannia. In the 5th century AD, Nordic tribes invaded Britain pushing the Celtic people into Wales and Scotland. Christianity was introduced in UK in the 6th and seventh century AD and it soon became a major influence. During the 8th and 9th centuries , the Viking armies and the Danes often invaded the coastal areas of Britain and fought with the local armies. In the 9th century, Alfred the Great repelled a Danish army which helped unify England. William of Normandy conquered England in 1066 and ruled as William I (1066-87)."
