Abstract
The paper discusses how the attacks of 9/11 should not have been unanswered by our government's war policy, but the characteristic of military engagement has translated into little-to-no progress and an increasingly negative international image for the United States. The paper contrasts the multiple foreign interventions of President Ronald Reagan's administration in response to the threat of Communism during the Cold War. The paper notes how the Reagan policies were far more successful. The paper contends that until the Bush Administration revamps its methodology in war policy, we will continue to be plagued by a restricted economy and the disturbing images of war and terror.
From the Paper
"Over five years ago on a Tuesday fall morning the people of the United States became victims of the single most deadly and hideous terrorist act ever recorded in history. Americans woke up that morning with an everlasting sense of security within the borders of their hegemon nation but hesitantly retired to bed on that same day questioning their safety and future in the United States. The television images seen by Americans and the dusty chaos experienced by surviving New Yorkers scarred every citizen's memory and marked the beginning of a new era for America. The World watched and then waited to see what the Bush administration was going to do in response to the terrorist acts committed by a handful of Middle Eastern radicals."

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
This paper explains ll the major combatants of the war at sea in World War II entered the conflict with outdated naval doctrine and then points out that although the addition of modern weapons were vital to the outcome of the war at sea it was the Allies? ability to utilise these weapons through changing tactics and rapid adaptation that was decisive. The paper further suggests that although the Allies? initial responses to the new type of ocean warfare with which they were faced was slow this situation quickly changed and argues that the Axis powers were much slower to adapt and continually made crucial errors in estimating their opponents capabilities. Finally, it is argued that, in the end, it was the phenomenal American ability to produce, in combination with the efficient use of signals intelligence, that destroyed or nullified the Axis powers at sea.

Abstract
This paper looks at the background to U.S. involvement in the war and analyzes various factors. These include the high fatality rate incurred in the war, international reaction of the world community to the conflict, the strategic importance of Chechnya to the Russians, the politics of oil as it relates to the war and a history of U.S. policy towards Russia. The paper also focuses on the current U.S. policy towards Russia and specifically towards Chechnya.
From the Paper
"At the start of the second Russian invasion into Chechnya in 1999, Russia claimed that it was going into Chechnya in order to root out the bandits that were hiding in the Chechen mountains and bring them to justice for carrying out terrorist activities in Russia. In the long run however, it has become clear that Russia was planning to take vengeance for its humiliating defeat at the hands of the Chechen rebels in the previous phase of its attack on Chechnya three years back.(11) Russia has presented its attack on Chechnya as an attack on terrorists and as an effort to prevent Chechnya from breaking away from the federation. The fighting that is taking place is the worse since the 1994 ?1996 civil war with Chechnya ."

The United States and the Vietnam War, 2002.

Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive look at how the United States failed in Vietnam. Its main focus is that the U.S. didn't understand the nature of the war. The paper provides a summary of the war, intertwined with evidence about why American leadership did not have a full understanding of the war.
From the Paper
"The Vietcong instead utilized guerilla warfare, which was effective against the French, and fared well against the U.S. too. This was a strategy that was also coined total war, because it was the destruction of the adversary at all calls. In addition, it included a myriad of small-group surprise attacks with the Vietcong then retreating back into the jungle. But also, the United States did not realize how powerful the Vietcong could be, thanks to the Soviet Union and China. "American technology was well matched by defensive fighter aircraft and radar-directed antiaircraft weaponry put in the hands of the Vietcong by the Soviet Union". One such example was the widely used Soviet-built surface-to-air missle (SAM). "The SAM was a kind of highly sophisticated aerial torpedo launched from the ground" (Larson 52). Along with the SAM, the Soviets supplied AK-47s and MiG interceptor aircraft among other items."

Abstract
This paper looks at the history of U.S. military engagement since the end of WWII, with particular emphasis on the Persian Gulf War of 1990. It points out that Congress has not formally declared war since December 11, 1941, against Germany and that, during the course of the last several decades in United States history, the citizens of the U.S. have been continually forced into war without a formal declaration of war supported by the U.S. Congress. The paper then discusses the War Powers Act, which has made it possible for Congress to avoid making actual declarations of war while still permitting major military engagements such as the Persian Gulf War.
From the Paper
"Congress has not formally declared war since December 11, 1941 against Germany in response to a formal Declaration of War by Germany against the U.S. (Paul, 2002). When Congress does formally declare war, a task that requires small effort on the part of representatives, an enemy is clearly defined and the task at hand is readily made clear. A clear cut victory is also expected as was the case of the Declaration of war against Germany and Japan. During the course of the last several decades in United States history, the citizens of the U.S. have been continually forced into war without a formal declaration of war supported by the U.S. Congress. The most recent example prior to 2003 of this was the war started in the Persian Gulf. Such action taken by the president of the U.S. exemplifies the pomposity and overbearing authority the president has placed upon himself over the citizens of this country."

The United States and the Cold War, 2001.
This examines the debate regarding who was to blame for the Cold War.
2,934 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 12 sources, APA, $ 86.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper argues that the United States, rather than the Soviet Union, was to blame for causing the Cold War. Several reasons cited for this opinion include America's capitalist and expansionist goals, the determination of the U.S to maintain its preponderant position in the world, as well as the widespread misconception of the Soviet Union?s desire and ability to wage war.
From the Paper
"The 14th Century Spanish writer Don Juan Manuel first used the term 'Cold War' to analyze the conflict between Christendom and Islam. However, it was the journalist Walter Lippmann who popularized this term in 1947 in his critique of U.S. policy towards the USSR. A cold war is one which brings neither honor nor peace to those who wage it, as opposed to a hot war, which ends in either death or peace. Contrary to physical war and fighting, a cold war is more commonly considered a period of tension and breath holding . During the Soviet-American Cold War, a period of covert antagonism between Moscow and Washington dominating world affairs from 1945 until the 1990's, the two superpowers engaged in an armaments race, armed and aided their allies and client states, intervened in civil wars by supporting different factions, built rival alliance systems, and developed exclusionist economic programs."

Economic Causes of the United States Civil War, 2002.
This paper proposes that the Civil War was the culmination of four decades of intense conflict and deep-seated economic, social and political differences between the North and the South.

Abstract
The writer asserts that the quick growth of such a large and diverse stretch of land led to conflict that built until two distinct sides rose to war. The paper brings proof of the growing disparity in the differing natural resources and resultant cultural orientations of a dispersed population. The paper concludes with the final lead-up to war, the insistence of the North to collect taxes from the South.
From the Paper
"The South came to be an agriculturally focused area and the North became a force in manufacturing and shipping. These factors were salient in the development of two distinct cultures, one industrial (urban) and one agrarian (rural). These cultures had divergent views on life and government; both having a strong spirit of individualism and desire for self-determination."

"Effects of World War II on the U.S.
As World War II broke out in Europe, the United States was, for the most part, determined upon maintaining its neutrality
and the isolationist policy that had become a national
characteristic in the wake of World War I and the Great
Depression (Johnson, 1997). Even while providing some financial
and material support to Great Britain via the Lend-Lease
Program, the U.S. in general and the Roosevelt Administration in
particular remained somewhat removed from "Europe's War" -
until, of course, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December
7, 1941. After the attack, the United States moved rapidly to
amass a large military machine and to provide that machine with
all of the resources that were needed to wage war on two
disparate fronts. AS Paul Johnson (2000, p. 779) has commented,
Pearl Harbor..."

"UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTIONS DIRECTED AT IRAQ
Introduction
This research examines and discusses the resolutions passed by the Security Council of the United Nations that target Iraq in relation to the 1991 Gulf War and its aftermath. To fully appreciate the scope, intent, and outcome of the resolutions, it is necessary to begin a few months prior to the beginning of the Gulf War to consider United Nations resolutions passed as a result of the occupation of Kuwait by Iraq in 1990.
Resolution 660
The Security Council passed Resolution 660 on 2 August 1990 (Sciolino, 1991, p. 298). This resolution condemned Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, and called for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Iraqi troops from Kuwait. The major ..."

The Korean War and the Korean War Veterans' Memorial, 2005.
This paper discusses the forgotten war, the Korean War, and describes the Korean War Veterans' Memorial.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, although statistically the Korean War took more lives than the Vietnam War, the Korean War has been branded as America's "Forgotten War" because it was over-shined by two "greater" wars, the Second World War and the Vietnam War, which dragged on for more than a decade. The author points out that the Korean War is important because it (1) started the end of the communist expansion in the world, (2) laid the ground for the entry of democracy in the states in Eastern Europe and Russia and (3) began the American foreign policy of military intervention to gain or maintain security, freedom and democracy in the world resulting in a number of military conflicts which continues today. The paper describes in detail the Korean War Veterans' Memorial, adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial directly across the reflecting pool from the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Washington, D.C., which was dedicated in 1995 by Bill Clinton and Kim Young Sam, then presidents of the U.S. and South Korea.
From the Paper
"The symbolisms in the memorial are brilliant pictures of a war that will never be forgotten. For as long as the memorial continues to exist, the memories of a war, which advanced freedom at the cost of the lives of millions of people, will eternally be thought of and etched in the minds of guests. Moreover, this memorial also serves as a reminder that freedom, though sweet and liberating, must never be taken for granted and must certainly be forever guarded, secured and remain dear in our hearts. It must also be remembered that there are still countries in the world that do not enjoy the rights given by a true democracy. The pursuit for the expansion of democracy must certainly not be abandoned. Still, millions of people are yearning for a free, equal state where social, economic and political justice stands and endures."
