    There are many opinions about whether or not the war in Iraq was successful. People want to know if America should have been there in the first place, should we have been sticking our nose where it may not belong? Or was the Middle East a threat that the U.S. couldn’t afford to ignore? Both of these opposing views hold true when comparing the failures and successes of the war, it’s fairly easy to argue both sides, however in my opinion, one side has a stronger argument than the other. Nevertheless, we still must compare and contrast in detail the most important failures and successes of the war, before one can come to any real justifiable conclusion.…

    America shouldn’t aid the spread of democracy. Pushing pushing democracy onto another country is no different the pushing communism. Both are ideologies about how to make a free society but neither are universally applicable. Given that democracy has worked out great for The United States of America and liked minded countries, while communism has had its troubles, my core issue lies with the inconsistent results and the various fall outs that come with branding ourselves as crusaders of democracy. The US has been unsuccessful in reordering governments to fit a democratic system.…

    The shift from desiring a “unified democratic Korea” to a free south Korea, demonstrated a drastic change in American foreign policy. While America believed they were winning in Korea, they held onto their hopes for unifying Korea; however, as things started to look more grim, they shifted their ideology to remain victorious even in the face of failure. Being the hero of the Second World War, America was viewed as powerful and a force to be reckoned with, losing a war to such a small country, experiencing turmoil, would ruin America 's reputation. Therefore they needed to find a way they could avoid loss at all costs; however, Truman was unwilling to meet MacArthur 's requests for total warfare in Korea so, instead of contributing further into the war effort, Truman changed his policy to favour the containment of the status quo before the war in Korea. Once America achieved this goal by recapturing Seoul, the capital of South Korea, they began to negotiate an armistice with North Korea, under the guidance of Mao Zedong, allowing the end of the war, without it being viewed as a loss in other 'free ' nations.…

    Great Success Success is the lofty idea of accomplishing some type of task that can make someone feel extraordinary. Everyone can think back to a time where they experienced some success, whether it is closing a major business deal or as simple as helping someone out. The concept of success morphs from person to person, but most people can agree the dictionary definition misses the true essence, the idea of success evolves as a person does, and true success is related to morals. The definition of success and the average person’s perception of success can be very similar and slightly deceiving. The Webster’s definition of success is, the attainment of popularity or profit.…

    In 1950, the Korean War began as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or North Korea, invaded the Republic of Korea in the south across the 38th parallel. Shortly after the start of the war, American and United Nations (U.N.) troops joined the battle and fought alongside South Korea. Correspondingly, General Douglas MacArthur had been named commander of the U.N. forces by the United Nations Security Council.
