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…

Arab communities. Although Iraq got Western backing in its 1980-88 war with Iran, the tense relationship between the Ba'ath regime and the West was irreparably broken in 1990, when Saddam invaded Kuwait and prompted a U.S.-led military response: the Gulf War of 1990-1991. It also prompted program of heavy sanctions against Iraq, many of which lasted until 2003 and devastated the Iraqi economy. While the U.S. was accusing Saddam of hiding evidence of WMDs, the dictator sat down for a Feb. 24,…

The procedures of offshore oil drilling are simple but have terrible effects on the evironment. The steps in offshore oil drilling are finding the drilling site, making the hole and inserting casing, drilling into the casing and then into the ground, cementing the casing sections into place, connecting the blowout preventer and marine riser on top of the well head, drilling the rest of the well, and determining if the well will produce oil(oil process 1). the first step in the process is…

Dave Schultz by Jesse Mendez The historical figure I am presenting is Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz. Dave was born on June 6, 1959 in Palo Alto, California to mother Dorsey and father Philip. When Dave was five he tried wrestling for the first time and hated it, and quit three weeks into it. As he got older around the age of nine to thirteen he started to put on a lot of weight and became overweight. Since he was an overweight kid in middle school kids had no mercy on him and often bullied him…

If the US were to strive for peaceable upkeep in the Middle East, then they wouldn’t need to keep the many troops stationed in the land, but rather train few specific individuals for teaching the Middle Eastern people sustainability; this minimalistic approach will save the US economy from the billions of dollars spent on warfare. This “teach a man to fish” concept will ultimately leave the Middle East with the tools necessary to create their own sustainable government without draining the…

The Gulf Oil spill, otherwise known as the Deep Horizon/BP spill, is the largest spill in all of american history. Throughout the 87 days that the well stood open it leaked over 200 million gallons of crude oil, and damaging about 16,000 miles of coastline, despite the collective efforts of around 30,000 people and the use of over 5.5 million feet of boom, a floating barrier used in an attempt to stop oil from spreading. (Smithsonian, “Gulf Oil Spill”) It has affected the wildlife and habitats…

stands for British Petroleum and this company is now widely known for its devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The British Petroleum Deepwater Horizon oil rig 52 miles south-east of Venice, Louisiana exploded on April 20, 2010 in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico igniting a fireball visible from up to 40 miles away. The BP oil spill is and depending on the effects of the oil on the gulf coast may forever be seen as one of the largest, man-made disasters in the United States. Over 4.9…

If America and the coalition wish to defeat the Islamic State and re-stabilize Iraq and the Levant, Assad should be funded and the FSA discarded.The continual conflict in Syria is one of the most controversial and misconcepted engagements in the modern era, because of media organizations spreading these truthless allegations and misconceptions. Most westerners view the Syrian Civil War as a fight between an evil regime led by the brutal and malicious Bashar Al-Assad, and Peaceful democracy…

The leaked oil spread over thousands of square miles across the Gulf of Mexico. Like the Exxon Valdez spill, dispersants were also pumped and spread over the leak to help break up the oil in the area. In May, oil began to contaminate beaches in Louisiana. Here it was manually removed, which proved to be very difficult in the marshes and estuaries. In June, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida beaches became affected by the oil. Total, around 1,100 miles of the coast was polluted, and three years…

Other Arab powers were shocked by this so they called the United States and other Western nations to intervene. Saddam Hussein refused to listen to the United Nations Security Council demands to withdraw from Kuwait by mid-January 1991, and the Persian Gulf War began with a huge U.S. air offense known as Operation Desert Storm. On January 17, 1991 Operation Desert Storm was initiated. According to John F. Stewart, “Desert Storm marked many firsts for Army Intelligence.” It was a 42-day U.S.…
