If we are to deal effectively with terrorists across the globe, we must develop a sense of empathy—I don't mean "sympathy," but rather "understanding"—to counter their attacks on us and the Western World. 10. One of the greatest dangers we face today is the risk that terrorists will obtain access to weapons of mass destruction as a result of the breakdown of the Non-Proliferation Regime. We in the U.S. are contributing to that
He had blamed Iraq for starting the war. He had told Americans that “we had not asked for this present challenge, but we accept it. And like other generations of Americans, we will meet the responsibility of defending human liberty against violence and aggression”. President Bush had blamed Saddam Hussein to be a dictator. He had blamed Iraq to be holding terrorists, he had made America believe that Iraq had been under Saddam Hussein’s clutches and that whatever he had to say was law.
Distinguish between the three contemporary theories of American democracy and politics (pluralist, elite and class, and hyperpluralist) and identify some of their strengths and weaknesses. 6. Understand the nature of the scope of government in American
How does the U.S. justify our current status with Iraq (why are we still there?) The United States justified its involvement in Iraq by saying that we are preventing more future damage that can be done by the terrorists. We are still in Iraq because he do not want another uprising of a terrorist as bad as Saddam
American army should be back from Iraq Presence of American army in Iraq is controversial since the beginning of Iraq American war from 2003. The main reason to call the war against Iraq was not more than developing of underground atomic power inside the Iraq which could be the threat against American and the rest of the world.

This led to a decision for the king: cope with our demands, or we fight for our independence. After the king rejected the demands of the petition, Thomas Paine released an article entitled “Common Sense”. By this time, the people thought they were fighting to make King George III listen to their demands, but Thomas Paine introduced the idea that independence was better fighting for, and that Britain has too much power over us. He stated that Britain could drag Americans into war that they had no intention of being in, which was concluded that America is much better off on its own, and that this way of thinking was common sense.

The U.N. sent personel into Iraq to investigate for weapons, but came up empty. Bush then took the matters into his own hands and began Operation Iraqi Freedom, an operation to overthrow Hussein and to revive the struggling Iraqi people. Hussein
For this reason, we lashed out with a vengeance. Now, this act of violence is not considered by any means part of the spectrum of anticipation that Michael Walzer discusses in chapter 5 of “Just and Unjust Wars.” This action along with the fact that this is the same type of terrorism that we would expect from the corrupt Iraqi leadership shows why the war with Iraq would be considered a preventive war instead of the other end of the spectrum, a preemptive strike.

A war that according to them was to protect our nation against terrorist, a war to prevent attacks just like September of 9-11 from happening again.
