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 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."

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..."

"The Serbs however finally liberated Kosovo from the Ottoman Empire in 1912, and as expected, reprisals and the expulsion of the Albanian settlers who had been previously patronized by the Ottomans accompanied this liberation. Indeed, the ethnic cleansing, murders and other atrocities were actually far worse in this period than in the present although few outside the region knew of them. Moreover, few really concerned themselves with the problems until the First World War that actually originated in the Balkan region."

Abstract
This essay focuses on the national debate in the US as to whether there should be military intervention in Iraq if the weapons inspectors are hindered. The writer presents an analysis of the arguments both for and against intervention and highlights the position of President Bush and those who oppose him. The paper maintains that Iraq has attempted to create weapons of mass destruction and needs to be stopped. It concludes by arguing that there is currently worldwide support for a US led initiative and this makes it an opportune time to persevere in attempting to bring stability to the region.
From the Paper
"There is a nationwide debate-taking place about whether or not the U.S. should intervene militarily if Iraq hinders the weapons inspection process. The debate is not just across political party lines, Americans from all walks of life are contemplating this decision. If war is declared with Iraq, the U.S. and hopefully, their allies, will be looking at a military campaign with the use of ground troops, possibly occupying Iraqi cities. I believe there is credible evidence that Iraq has attempted to produce weapons of mass destruction and should be stopped."

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."

Reasons for Signing the Treaty
From the Paper
"While there are many political reasons that the US may refuse to sign the treaty, one of the chief causes for concern might be the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Many UN delegates support the idea of an International Criminal Court but the United States has been steadfast in its refusal to agree. An international criminal court might begin the slippery slope of descent to the power of individual nations when it comes to many issues including the treaty.If the international criminal court gains favor and power in the future it is feasible that the court could be used to enforce the treaty."

Abstract
This paper examines the strategy formulation, coordination, and execution, that lead to NATO's war to save Kosovo. How the U.S. and NATO reached their goal cannot be described as perfectly executed, or even well thought out. In the end, when the dust settled the alliance was able to reverse most of the damage that Serbia had caused during the early stages of the war.
From the Paper
"Eshtain ( 2000) outlines a procedure for determining whether an armed conflict is a just war. The first part of the just war framework is devoted to determining whether or not a resort to war-or intervention-is justified. War, for example, should be fought only for a justifiable cause of substantial importance. The primary just cause in an era of nations and states is a nation's response to direct aggression. Protecting citizens from harm is a fundamental norm, and it scarcely counts as protection if no response is made when one's fellow citizens and women are being slaughtered, hounded, routed from their homes, and the like."
