Abstract
This paper argues that U.S. foreign policy within the last thirty years has had a significant influence in the rise of terrorism throughout the world. The writer cites U.S. involvement in domestic politics in many countries, military interventions, and pursing national interests in other countries regardless of the consequences of pursing those interests, as influential in enabling terrorist organizations. The paper claims that in order to stop the wave of terrorism throughout the world, the United States must stay clear from interfering with domestic political problems in many regions around the world and must stay away from pursuing military operations that are not in the national interests of United States.

From the Paper
"As Ahid Aslam concentrated on the foreign policy priorities of the Bush Administration in his article, Robert Cutter from the institute for foreign policy in focus wrote an article titled ?The Anti-Terrorist Coalition: A New World Order Redux.? This article focuses on the possibility that the anti-terrorist coalition may incite terrorist groups to ruse up and take action against the coalition in order to break it up. The author concentrates on the possible negative effects of placing together an anti-terrorist coalition and having being lead by the United States. The author determines that as long as the United States continues to lead the anti-terrorist coalition, the coalition will only be serving U.S. interests on terrorism and not international interests. The author suggests that it should be the United Nations that should be leading the coalition and not the United States."

From the Paper
"According to author James Irving Matray, Keenan's containment strategy provided then President Harry Truman with a method of countering the Soviet challenge without requiring an unqualified commitment of American power. Keenan's policy of containment was based on the premise that the perceived monolithic Communist Menace (the Soviet Union, more commonly referred to as Russia during the 1950s and 1960s) could be contained to preserve U.S. security - with minimal expenses for economic, technical and military assistance."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine U.S. policy concerning financial assistance to Latin America, through the various U.S. presidencies, from the administration of Theodore Roosevelt to the present day. The plan of the research will be to set forth the principal elements of economic assistance in each succeeding administration, discussing as appropriate the specific policies and programs that have informed such assistance through the years.
As a practical matter, financial assistance to Latin America began in the twentieth century with the accession of Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency. The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, promulgated in 1904 by President Theodore Roosevelt, did not treat the subject of foreign aid to Latin America specifically, but it laid the groundwork for a whole ...

Abstract
Times have changed, and the days of "big-stick politics" need to be reexamined. The U.S.'s "Duty To Prevent" should be replaced with the UN's proposal of "The Responsibility to Protect." With legitimacy, bureaucracy and desirability of such policies in mind, this paper examines the necessity of a reevaluation of the U.S.'s policies in world politics intervention.
From the Paper
"Political scientists and historians alike often refer to the days of 'big-stick politics' and nuclear arms racing as political dynamics of the past, left in the dust after the end of the Cold War. To many, this Hobbesian period marked a barbarous element of politics that is now past, replaced by the optimistic presence of TANs, NGOs, nuclear nonproliferation treaties, and human rights norm dissemination.

Abstract
This paper explores the growing cocaine and marijuana market in Latin American countries and the lack of local resources available to prevent this valuable and profitable industry from expanding even more. The writer of this paper details the U.S. military's role in aiding these countries, as well as the cost to the American people, while pondering if the American military should even be involved in drug related issues outside the U.S. The cost for the military intervention in the war on drugs continues to rise and has created entirely new perceptions about money and the military both within and outside the U.S. This paper discusses the military involvement in the war on drugs and cites the leading recipients of aid, military equipment, training and personnel. This paper also delves into a program, involving military participation, which was recently introduced in Congress, called the Western Hemisphere Drug Elimination Act. This act would authorized $2.3 billion over three years for military hardware, personnel, training and a small amount for alternative crop development in various Latin American countries.
From the Paper
"Even though the House and various representatives have called on military action, the Pentagon was reluctant- albeit, it finally was dragged into it. Even though the Pentagon budget continues to grow, year after year, there are still concerns that legislators who dole out the tens of millions of dollars are underestimating the total cost. In a recent report to the House and Senate armed services committees, the Department of Defense estimated that "24-hour surveillance of the U.S. 'southern fence', the border from Jacksonville, Florida, to San Diego, full interdiction capability, and C13 programs, would cost between $480.4 million and $760.5 million annually, depending on the equipment mix ." All this money without a single soldier leaving the continental U.S.- even though advisers may now be operating in the various targeted Latin American countries. All that has been publicized, and strongly so, are planes and equipment, everything from helicopters to flame throwers which are supposed to be used by the local troops."

"According to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs , Indonesia is a strategic key to our National Security interests. Located strategically alongside several important international maritime crossroads, ingress to the United States from the sea must be managed from such strategic locations. The United States enjoys a reliable relationship with Indonesia at this time; playing a significant role in its independence and supporting its anti-communistic position during the Cold War has worked to repay our nation in 'cordial and cooperative relations' today. Jemaah Islamiyah - a terrorist organization - made its presence known to Indonesia during terrorist attacks on Bali (October 2002) and Jakarta (August 2003). Occurring so close to the United States attacks of September 11, 2001, the alliance - although not a formal treaty - has meaning and value to both countries."

Abstract
This paper explains that desperation inflicted by the karma of being overweight and the human desire for easy answers leads to plenty of opportunities for abuse on behalf of the weight-loss industry. The author points out that the weight-loss industry has become a major component of the health care market in the United States; however, unlike other areas of health care, there is little governmental control and regulation of this industry. The paper concludes that, despite a number of regulatory efforts, a strong case can be made that the weight-loss industry represents a market failure where governmental intervention is needed.

From the Paper
"Diet fraud has a long history in the United States: as soon as fashion industry declared that women should look a certain way, advertisements appeared in magazines proclaiming fast weight loss. A few of the early diet drugs were very dangerous, especially Marmola, Corpulin, and Kellogg's Safe Fat Reducer, which contained thyroid. Thyroid is a drug derived from animal glands that can increase metabolism so high it can burn up vital organs. The weight loss it produced was mostly in lean tissue, and the thyroid extract carried the risks of osteoporosis, increased heart rate, palpitations, sweating, chest pain, and sudden death."

Abstract
This paper first describes the recent history of relations between the United States and Iraq and Iraqi relations with its neighboring countries. The paper then explains the foundation for the original U.S. intervention in Iraq and points out that the motivation for involvement was not so much to fight terrorism as it was to safeguard the vast oil reserves there.
From the Paper
"America has positioned itself as the Policeman of the World. We have made it our political, if not exactly our moral "obligation" to make every possible attempt to avert war, bloodshed, and the dangers of an outbreak for ethnic or other reasons that would put into imbalance the current line-up of nations. While we intruded in Somalia and Ethiopia, in Grenada and Panama and, to some extent, in Haiti, it is in Iraq that American politicians seem to see the greatest danger."

Abstract
In this paper it is shows that the origins of the Israeli/Arab conflict reflect the Jewish Nation, and how American funding helped to build their army. In this manner, the creation of a military helped to oust the Palestinian who now had to leave due to the Jewish presence in the region. The paper argues that by creating a military complex through U.S. support, Israel used their military to validate land acquisitions, which they could not defend. Also, through American military support and training, the Jewish state was encouraged and fostered in its earliest stages through American intervention.
From the Paper
"This political study will examine the origins of the military intervention by the United States in Israel, as well as the economic aid that began the conflict with the Palestinians in the region. By understanding how the United States funds the military complex of the Israeli military, one can realize how the 'conflict' between Arab and Jew was created and propitiated through violence and political struggle between the two societies. The early aspects of the Israeli-Arab conflict in Palestine can be defined from the past financial international military aid America has given to Israel since the 1960s. The growing rate of military aid up until 1982 was of paramount importance to stability in a region with strong ties to American Jewish lobbyists and others interested in formulating a Jewish state since the end of World War II."

U.N. Intervention in Korea, 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines how on the 25th June 1950, North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel and began their invasion of the south. It looks at how the U.S. was initially able to intervene due to the resolution passed by the United Nations Security Council and how it can be argued that the nature of the U.N. intervention extended beyond the desire to protect a country that was being invaded, but was ideological, based more upon the U.S. feeling of anti-communism.
From the Paper
"The Soviet development of the atomic bomb in 1949 heightened the suspicion felt on behalf of the US, believing their weapons monopoly to be over, fearing the military might of communism and Russia. The monopoly had been military and diplomatically valuable to the US, allowing the US to maintain their superiority against the numerically superior Soviet Union. As a result, Truman and the US government were pressurised into undertaking a tougher stance in their dealings with communist advances and developments, and therefore the Korean conflict provided the perfect opportunity to show this, under the legitimacy of the UN."

"Dealing with Ethnic Conflict
As much as is possible, the United States and the international community should refrain from intervention into ethnic conflicts within sovereign nations. Unfortunately, there will exist cases where the violence against unarmed civilians becomes so great and so atrocious that fundamental issues of humanity require that some action be taken. Thus, in cases of extreme violence, the United States should act in concert with the international community to force a diplomatic solution and, if necessary, commit international peacekeeping forces until such a solution can be reached.
The Clinton Administration has already demonstrated its willingness to intervene in ethnic conflicts where it can have no strategic gain. Mandelbaum notes several cases in the early 1990s that..."

Abstract
This essay discusses the U.S. foreign policy towards Middle Eastern and Latin American countries before 9/11 and post 9/11. The foreign policy is analyzed, its inherent problems are highlighted, and a comparison of U.S. foreign policy towards the Middle East with U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America is made.
From the Paper
"With all eyes turned toward Iraq and the Middle East, South America rarely makes the headlines in the United States. Except for perhaps tighter controls and security on U.S. borders and waterways since September 11th , it seems Latin foreign policies are not top priorities for Washington. However, recent events in October in Bolivia led to ?a massive mobilization of Indians and peasants?military crackdowns that left as many as 70 people dead?and led to the demise of the conservative Gonzalo S?nchez de Lozada government on Oct."

Abstract
This paper explains that the military activities in the Philippines and Mexico signaled a change in the attitude of U.S. foreign policy from isolationism to imperialism. The author points out that the Second World War and the Cold War caused all of U.S. life to be filtered through the lens of foreign policy such as (1) the facilitation of grant programs such as the National Defense Student loans, (2) reliance on state and local governments for local infrastructure financing because federal monies were committed to Cold War foreign purposes and (3) the more rapid integration of the races at home due to the necessity of integration in the military to have enough troops to conduct overseas operations such as Korea, Vietnam and assorted smaller wars. The paper concludes that, today, there is no foreign policy agenda per se; Bush II is a tabula rasa, straddling two wings of the same party, like a feckless cowboy on two horses.

From the Paper
"It would seem this attitude of foreign policy was written in stone. However, one of its early ardent supporters, Theodore Roosevelt, was among those who began to see that U.S. imperialism was not working. In the end, it was Wilson who noted that the drive for colonies contributed mainly to savage warfare. He concluded, in another sea-change manner that would influence U.S. foreign policy at least until another Roosevelt (Franklin Delano) entered the White House, that it would be best to "dismantle the colonial structure itself. His plan included self-determination for former colonies, international arms reduction, an open trading system to discourage economic imperialism, and a commitment to collective security through international organizations, what is now sometimes referred to as multilateralism." That drive, culminating in such bodies as the League of Nations and reluctant entry into further wars, would be the dominant attitude until the start of World War II."

Abstract
The paper looks at America's past foreign policy regarding the Soviet Union and Communism. The paper also discusses the war against terrorism today and reveals that the true incentive behind the war in Iraq may have been financial, although there were moral victories attained as a result. The paper concludes that while morality should certainly have a substantial role in U.S. foreign policy strategy, in recent years, the financial goals of the United States seem to outweigh the altruistic ones.

Introduction
The Past and U.S. Foreign Policy
Foreign Policy and Communism
Morality, Foreign Policy, and Terrorism
Moral Victories May be the Outcome of Financial Gain
Conclusion
From the Paper
"United States foreign policy has always been about political relationships for financial gain combined with moral idealism (Fox 2000). Therefore, morality has played a substantial role in U.S. foreign policy strategy, and should continue to do so. Whether this "morality" is genuine is questionable, and lately the U.S. has appeared to many to be the equivalent of a greedy bully, seeking financial benefits with no care for assisting the impoverished, oppressed, and/or those who may benefit from a morality driven U.S. foreign policy. These U.S. foreign endeavors are done under the guise of morality, which often result in more harm than good for the citizens of nations that such U.S. foreign policy is choosing to target, which is immoral in its very nature."

Abstract
This paper discusses American foreign policy before Vietnam and foreign policy in Vietnam, and shows how a number of the elements that led to these policies were present in governmental perspectives for decades.
From the Paper
"Though the foreign policies decisions that were instrumental in the Vietnam War were different from the policies that supported other international actions during the 20th century, including World War II and the Korean War, a number of the elements that led to these policies were present in governmental perspectives for decades. One of the most significant influencing factors in the policy developments of the Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations was the perceived threat of communism and the necessity of action to prevent its spread. This factor had been present in the development of foreign policy since before the First World War, and led to the perception of the necessity of force to stomp out its proliferation."
