Abstract
In this paper, both the Iraqi and American government portray similar organizational government, which has subsisted on the military prowess America now wields over Iraq. The writer discusses that by divulging the details of representative government, Iraq appears to be on a early developmental trend toward a republican democracy in the format of the American government. However, the writer points out that the economic and military difference between these countries is major, since Iraq has not been able to achieve a stable government, nor harness the natural resources, such as oil, which could raise the standing of this country in the international markets.
From the Paper
"This governmental study analyzes why Iraq and America holds similar kinds of government, but differ in the stages of development that economy and militaristic policy provide on an international scale. By divulging the process of government, which is now present in Iraq, one can reveal how the United States holds a greater power of influence in recently ousting past President Saddam Hussein. By understanding the economic and militaristic dominance of America over Iraq, the form of government of both of these countries present their differences in power and issues of sovereignty in development. The new government of Iraq, since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003, has been a burgeoning republic, which has been being developed through American intervention."

Abstract
The paper argues for the United States to act in concert with other nations in containing the Iraqi dictator. It provides a history of the United Nations endorsed 1990 Gulf War. The author describes how the U.S. interest in Iraq is its oil and weapons of mass destruction. The author of the paper expresses fear that a unilateral U.S. war on Iraq would cause terrorism and anti-American sentiment worldwide.
From the Paper
"In 1991, the United States, with the endorsement of the United Nations Security Council, launched an offensive against Iraq shortly after the latter invaded Kuwait. The war?s aims, according then president George Bush, were the expulsion of Iraqi forces from Kuwait, stabilization of the Gulf, and protection of Americans in Kuwait. (Ambrose & Brinkley) Two major reasons for the war not mentioned by Bush, it is widely acknowledged, were the protection of American oil interests in the region and the disarmament of Iraq?s nuclear weapons program. After few days of bombings Iraq surrendered and withdrew its forces from Kuwait, thereby realizing the stated objectives of the war. As the war ended, and throughout the 1990?s, the UN, under American leadership, enforced various sanctions on Iraq with the hope of preventing Hussein?s regime from obtaining biological and nuclear weapons. Nowadays, particularly after Hussein expelled international arms inspectors from Iraq in 1998, and even more so after the relative success of the war in Afghanistan, many Americans are convinced that the US, with or without international backing, should invade Iraq with the goal of removing Hussein and inserting a regime that will be favorable to American interests. While reasonable arguments are being made about the dangers emanating from the Iraqi regime, the unilateralist military overthrow of the Iraqi government is likely to have negative ramifications on both American and universal interests for many years to come."

Abstract
This is a media analysis of the 2003 war with Iraq. In the paper, the mainstream media journalism of George Packer and the independent news journalism of Howard Zinn are analyzed. By realizing how journalistic bias is provided in the work of Packer, one can understand how American propaganda for the war is disseminated to the American public. The paper examines how, although there is a complete lack of evidence to support American intervention in Iraq, it is clear that the American public is not being told the truth about why they have invaded this country.
From the Paper
"This media study will analyze the various perspectives that journalists use to portray the War in Iraq within the foreign policy issues of the United States. In this manner, various politically influenced journalists reflect differing points of view on this intervention. In the mainstream American media there is a effort to encourage the continued American presence in Iraq. However, there is a counter measure to this form of large-scale nationalist propaganda in the works of Howard Zinn as an independent news source."

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 discusses how the United States has experienced many challenging threats to the safety and security of the country?s residents, within its boundaries and beyond. It looks at how, in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the United States government responded to threats affecting security by developing a formal Department of Homeland Security and how, as a result, efforts have been greatly improved to enhance security measures at airports and other locations. It also analyzes how, in times of war and threats of terrorism, the United States must prioritize and evaluate the threats in relation to their influence on the general public.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The United States has sought to maintain a democratic and peaceful existence since its inception many centuries ago. These efforts cannot be easily accomplished without the cooperation and assistance of other nations around the world. Many nations do not accept the ideals and principles that the United States maintains, and consequently, many conflicts exist across the world. In many instances, the United States is viewed as a significant support mechanism since the country possesses the resources and the capital necessary to lend a hand in times of crisis. As a result, members of the U.S. military are stationed in areas across the world for support and intervention whenever necessary. In many of these cases, other countries openly support the democratic mission that the U.S. passionately holds."

Abstract
The paper examines "Patterns of Democracy," by the political theorist Arend Lijphart. The paper looks at Lijphart's theories of the flaws in the American system of government and contends that, although the United States may not be a perfect model for the Middle East, neither is the consensus model. The paper explains how Iraq is based upon tribal schisms even more divisive than those which faced America during the Civil War or the Civil Rights movements. The paper maintains that a majoritarian government with a strong central rule may be necessary for Iraq to function effectively, even if it does not give voice to every possible interest within the nation.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of his book, Patterns of Democracy, the political theorist Arend Lijphart cites Abraham Lincoln's definition of a democracy as a government for the people, by the people. (Lijphart, p.1) Yet analyzing the United States as a representative democracy, whereby persons elected by an entity nebulously defined as 'the people' purport to represent the popular interests, the theorist is immediately confronted by a series of contradictions. Lijipart can only resolve these contradictions by constructing a more narrow definition of what constitutes democracy, namely its manifestation into either majoritarian or consensus-based models."

The author points out that the United Kingdom is the United States' largest customer and the United States is the country that invests the largest amount, each year, in the United Kingdom. The paper relates that the commonly held values of democracy and the inherently held beliefs in the freedom of speech, human rights and a similar legal system are the ties that bind the two countries inevitably together.

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
Over the course of the last five decades, the world has looked to the United States of America to stand up and provide a model of international leadership and stability in order to help manage international and internal military, political, and economic problems. Until now, we have acted as the world's protector, taking down bullies after they have hurt and harmed others. This year, however, or early into next, our position, to never take the first shot that will start a war will change, if George W. Bush has his way. We, as a nation, have played a direct role in the improvement of the world condition by quelling conflict wherever we could. But, Iraq, the target of our renewed aggression, will prove to be a much different animal than the others we have captured and tamed since 1945. Iraq's power is not really in its arsenal or in its military (both of which are small, primitive by comparison to the U.S., and ineffective), it is in its ability to motivate thousands if not millions of individuals to act without coordination in a violent and unpredictable manner against the United States and the rest of the western world. It is the purpose of this paper to demonstrate the extreme danger and relative uselessness in attacking Iraq, to show that to do so is an exercise in futility, and that we can pursue much more effective means of preventing terrorism than to stir up the hornets' nest.

Abstract
This paper covers the role the United States government and politics played in the exportation of anthrax to Iraq before operation Desert Storm. This paper also questions the role and responsibility the United States government and crooked politics played in America's anthrax exposure, as well as covers the first cases of exposure of anthrax in the United States. This paper focuses on biological testing facilities in the United States and their mission. This paper also focuses on biological testing facilities that had existed Iraq and the United States intelligence agencies which had known of such facilities and that still approved the shipments of various pathogens to such facilities. Moreover, this paper discusses the bombing of these biological facilities from the outset of desert storm and the role this had played with the ?Gulf War Syndrome?.
From the Paper
"Weeks after the September 11, 2001 attacks, our nation faced another act of terrorism. Anthrax was exposed to our country with intentions to kill. Not far from Mohammed Ata?s hometown, in south Florida, the first cases of infection were found. Mohammed Ata was one of the hijackers in flight aboard one of the several planes involved in the September 11, 2001 attacks. Government officials believe there is a cell, somewhere in the area that is somehow linked with Al-Qeuda or Usama bin Laden. But, are government officials some how to blame for the United States exposure to anthrax?"

The Biological Weapons Connection, 2002.
Discussing the role of the United States in supplying Iraq with biological weapons and agents.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper surveys the relevant evidence suggesting that the United States helped Iraq acquire biological agents. The evidence pertains to major claims about the United States and Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War. One is that the United States ignored signs that Iraq was using biological weapons. Another is that the United States directly sent samples of biological agents to Iraq. The paper then surveys the events in question chronologically, by evaluating the evidence and ascertaining when the alleged events took place, within the context of the Iran-Iraq War.
From the Paper
"Whether the US aided Iraq in obtaining or producing biological weapons is controversial. Over the years, many people have pointed out the irony that the United States helped arm Saddam Hussein in the Iraq-Iran War, and that this has come back to haunt the government. It is clear that the United States supplied military assistance in various forms during the Iran-Iraq War; that is not in question. However, whether the United States played a role in or facilitated Iraq?s acquiring or producing biological weapons is more controversial. The evidence suggests that the United States played some sort of role in helping Iraq acquire biological agents and ignored their use of chemical weapons, but there is no evidence that the United States helped Iraq create or acquire actual biological weapons."
