While Saddam ignored to withdraw troops, The United States began its offensive with its air superiority crippling the Iraqi military following a ground attack. George H. W. Bush, President of the United States, put a halt to all military activity for…

Mandelbaum believes that U.S foreign Policy has failed since the end of the cold war through different factors. Mandelbaum makes a strong case ideologically crusading into regime change, which invariably fails regardless of how virtuous the intent is. We first need to define what foreign policy and the cold war is in order to evaluate Mandelbaum and whether he thinks U.S. foreign policy has failed or not. He mentions that the years of 1991-2014 were very distinct from any previous period in…

president Saddam Hussein and his Baath Party from power and to build Iraq into a democratic state. Politicians at the time also expected the war to end soon. In this case, intervention was built on the Bush Doctrine, in the rationality that spreading democracy will decrease conflicts among countries.

The innumerable military troops and a great many writers from all around the globe, plunge upon the locale to secure potential news scope. "Truth at last thinks that its way to individuals' eyes and ears and hearts". This is the sentence, articulated by Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and is heard halfway through "Control Room" Jahane…

These bribes began while the AWB was still under government control; with illegal activity continuing after the organisation was privatised in 1999. Australia’s trade reputation was tarnished…

Ali Khadery (2014) Three years ago, the Islamic State (ISIS) did not exist; now it controls vast swaths of Syria and Iraq. Showing off its handiwork daily via Twitter and YouTube, Isis has repeatedly demonstrated that it is much more than a transnational terrorist organization – rather, it is an entity with sophisticated command, control, propaganda and logistical capabilities, and one that has proven its ability to take and hold strategically critical territory at the heart of the Middle East.…
