Unilaterally intervening into other countries has caused more harm than good for the U.S. Unilateral force causes harm to the United States because it violates international law. The fundamental rule of contemporary international law is that states cannot attack other states. The U.N. Charter embodies this rule and makes only two exceptions to it: a state can attack another state if it is authorized to do so by a Security Council resolution, or if the attacking state is acting in genuine self-defense. It would also violate the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), a landmark international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament.
It is said that President Obama is the most Pro War President ever. It is wrong to fight and kill other people whether there is a purpose or not. It’s like playing God. No one has the right to decide and order American people to go overseas and kill. Also, President Obama is indifferent to the US military and national security: Second, for the past few months, his attitude and lack of genuine interests in the US military and national security are very alarming and disturbing.
My partner and I disagree with the resolved: Unilateral military force by the United States is justified to prevent nuclear proliferation A few definitions to set the stage for the debate: Unilateral- a unilateral action or decision is done by only one of the groups involved in a situation. <http://www.ldoceonline.com/Government-topic/unilateral> Justified- Demonstrated or proven to be just, right, or valid. <http://www.answers.com/topic/justify> Prevent- to stop something from happening or someone from doing something. <http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/prevent> Nuclear proliferation- a term used to describe the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons-applicable nuclear technology and information, to nations which are not recognized as "Nuclear Weapon States" by the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons, also known as the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty or NPT. < http://definitions.uslegal.com/n/nuclear-proliferation%20/> In order for the Pro to win this debate, unilateral military force by the United States must not only be proven to effectively prevent nuclear proliferation, but also be justified.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported a 1600% increase in hate crimes against the Arab American population in the year after the events of September 11th. Some of them are refugees coming from devastated areas ravaged by wars in the Middle East: Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, and Lebanon are just a few examples. According to Aboul-Enein (2010) one of the potentially least studied ethnic groups in the United States in terms of healthcare inequalities are the populations of Middle Eastern and North African origin. Aboul-Enein also points out: “The misunderstood aspects of Arab behavior according Western perspective lead to the greatest misunderstandings which include but are not limited to: the involvement of the male in all aspects of health care for his wife and children; the assimilation of children into all aspects of life; female humility; the subordinate status of women; and the strong emphasis on the traditional female role.”
The True Meaning of Liberation When the United States led an invasion of Iraq in 2003, there was great dissent over whether there was enough justification for the invasion. The president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, had been accused of holding weapons of mass destruction as well as committing several crimes against the people of Iraq. The United States government held that Saddam’s regime was threatening to the world and its own people, and many Americans supportive of the government since 9/11 thought the same. However, there was a wave of protests across western countries condemning the act. These protestors argued that there were not enough reasons to justify an invasion of Iraq.
He asserts that this country is maligned, and is frequently held as a villain by the world. America definitely has critics from without, as well as within. They state that this empire doesn’t do anything unless it is to its benefit. Claims are made that it only pursues naked self -interest (D’Souza 286). Opponents say that the Americans only purpose for entering the gulf war was to protect its access to gulf oil.
World War I and II represent a large gap in the expansion of technology available to the world. But, when someone is involved in a war just a couple decades previous, they know how that war was one. A large bomb to decimate large portions of the population along with instilling a great amount of fear into people were
In this war more civilians died than soldiers, they were “in the front line of attack”. Civilians were bombed, imprisoned, massacred, taken as slaves and starved to death. The most horrifying weapon of World War Two was the atomic bomb; it became typical at that time and brought horrific civilian casualties. The other factor that shows us the totality of war is the scientific developments, this also includes new technology and war tactics. A complete new style of fighting was
Ever since September 11th, there has been poor judgment and treatment toward people of Middle Eastern descent. From hate crimes and racial profiling, to maybe being denied some of their rights as well. In the article “Obama defends plan to build mosque near ground zero,” there is controversy to whether Muslims should be allowed to build a mosque near ground zero. The first amendment of the United States Constitution grants freedom of religion; therefore, Muslims have every right to build a mosque near ground zero. Although the 911 attacks were made by Islamic terrorists, the whole Muslim community shouldn’t be punished.
This is a war that began with your invasion of Kuwait; this is a war that can be ended only by Iraq’s full and unconditional compliance with UN Security Council resolution 678. 2. I am writing to you now, directly, because what is at stake demands that no opportunity be lost to avoid what would be a certain calamity for the people of Iraq. I am writing, as well, because it is said by some that you do not understand just how isolated Iraq is and what Iraq faces as a result. 3.
