In 2003, Joan Fitzpatrick, human rights activist and Professor of Law at Washington University, wrote shortly before her death the article under review in which she scrutinized thoroughly with “her razor-sharp analysis, clear vision and deeply principled approach” (The Guardian 2003) how the fragile rule of law which is central to the protection of human rights suffered after the 9/11 attacks. The 9/11 attacks gave the United States a pretext to declare an open-ended war on terrorism which…

The Issue under Consideration: The retaliatory cruise missile strikes in Sudan and Afghanistan following the attacks on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, have elicited criticisms of administration decision-making procedures concerning terrorism. Both government and civilian observers have noted a general inconsistency in the restraint shown after terrorist attacks and the timeliness of consequent US retaliations. In this case, critics also cite the sequestration of senior security advisors…

George W. Bush: President George W. Bush started making the case for an infiltration of Iraq in 2002."Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror," he said, adding that “states like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger.” Bush launched the war on March 19, 2003, noting in a televised address that “helping Iraqis…

were not found, the real intention behind the Bush doctrine was based on a “broader geopolitical cause to disseminate democracy and transform the globe according to... liberal-democratic principles…” (2008, p. 50). There is a belief that the Iraq invasion has changed the landscape for interventionist wars. It is now seemingly permissible to launch humanitarian intervention wars with an underlying secondary intent such as to remove a tyrant and force regime change. This is arguably what occurred…

In the backdrop of the recent terror attacks in Paris, Republicans are up in arms against the program that facilitates Syrians fleeing the civil war in their country to seek refuge in the United States. Republicans argue that the current program is filled with gaps as far as verifying and certifying refugees are concerned. On the 19th of November, the house passed a resolution enabling the U.S. security and intelligence agencies to take a closer look at refugees from Iraq and Syria. The White…

For thousands of years around the world different species of animals or plants have been either transported intentionally, or through the process of globalization. In many cases, the transported animal or plant does not thrive in its new environment. Due to a lack of proper food sources combined with the wrong climate can result in a rather short life span for said animal or plant. Unfortunately, in some cases, the specimen thrives and is able to successfully reproduce and spread throughout its…

America is already a great country as it is, but with more effort we can make even better. Many people take America for granted and do not appreciate all the veterans who have served for their country and many who have sacrificed their lives. We as people do not understand their experience and how traumatic it was for most of them. They do so much and we do so little. We the people can pay back our debt with just simple acts. If we raised money and just built them a decent home, we would show…

This question contains two parts to be properly addressed. The phrase “war is timeless” essentially means that human beings have been poised to slaughter one another since the dawn of time, and even potentially until the end of times. Even at the centennial anniversary of the end of the war to end all wars, humanity is still fighting. Wars occur for so many reasons, so frequently, that the probability of one happening is still extremely high regardless of the circumstances. For example, the…

War has always been a part of human life and the expanding of every country in the world. It was either war between two countries or war within the country. Many fought to earn independence, some fought to develop its power and some just fought because they were allies to the country at war. No matter what the reason was, war has left a huge effect to how things are today. WW1 and WW2 were two wars that defined the United States, but when comparing the weapons, the survivor rate, and the weather…
