Actually defining the Iraq/Iran border still in place today, the world’s finest carpets, outstanding architecture, volatile religious differences, and battles for territory, what do these have in common? To answer this, let’s explore the Ottoman and Safavid Empires. Both empires had a key leader. For the Ottoman Empire 1301-1922 (AD), this was Suleiman the Magnificent. As sultan of the Ottoman Empire he overhauled the Ottoman legal system, led his armies into battle, brought peace to different religious sects, and contributed to the advancement of the arts.
When talking about war, there are many books with few answers to what war truly is. Barbara Ehrenreich brings forth not only the possibilities towards understanding war but also the passion people from history have had towards it. One key issue she brings to light is humanities love for war, so much so that people would use excuses like holy wars to justify their need to fight in a war. She declares that war is as muddled as the issue of diseases and where diseases came from around 200 years ago. More so than that she even goes further on to state that these rituals that date back to prehistoric times are the cause of human nature during times of war rather than human instinct.
War is about principles. It can be used to end injustice, tyranny, or both. It can band people together to form a bond that is unbreakable, all fighting for the same cause. But that bond can have a high price. War kills soldiers, tearing them from family; it kills innocent people, just trying to survive.
War. Is it a necessary injustice? Does it leave us in triumph or with shattered dreams? War can bring brutality and death to many innocent people, but it can also create unity and result in freedom. The repercussions of war rely on war itself.

Throughout the short story, “An Episode of War”, author, Stephen Crane, uses various examples of Realism. For example, one instance of realism is where the lieutenant is hiking to the hospital and a medical doctor sees him. Now this doctor seems as if he is in a good mood though when he spots the wound on the lieutenant his facial expressions change. He starts to seem as he is annoyed of looking at wounds and just wants to get the job over with. This is an example of Realism by how throughout the time of war, injuries were so common that even doctors, whose profession is to heal wounds, are exhausted from dealing with all the injuries.
War has many connotations, negative and positive. Although no matter how you look at it, it is a tough decision. War is a serious subject because of the fact that we are not talking about economics or politics anymore; we are specifically taking into account the lives of the people of our country. It has always been a large decision whether or not to go into war. This stirs up lots of opinions and neutralities that can be seen in our writing as well as our artwork.
Minor essay: Iraq War 2003 Iraq War, the war between Saddam Hussein government and coalition forces led by the US, which happens around 2000s, the topic that is significant for its ability to provide better understanding about the international situation in the Middle East and the role of the United States. While there are two different aspects presented by liberalist and realists respectively for this topic, however, between these two theories, realism theory is a more well-cut-out theoretical lens for the analysis of Iraq War when this theory’s focus of power and security well corelates to the USA’s claim that Iraq possessed either biological and fatally destructive weapons, which will result in the threat among the Middle East’s security.
Realism theory best explains the cause of the war in Iraq in 2003 because realists believe choosing war may be the best choice in order to be safe or avoid a security dilemma and prevent a security threat. For realist, the security of their state is highly important. It is obvious that not all realist agreed with the United States and their policy to go to war over these threats, both John Mearshimer and Stephen Walt; who are both realist feel as if Bush shouldn’t have went forward with the war (Mingst 2014,100). George W. Bush felt threatened by Saddam Hussein because he knew that just two years prior to this was the unforgettable September 11th terrorist attack. Since its obvious that these international countries such as Iraq have no distinct offices of authority then what could’ve stopped the use of weapons of mass destruction were to actually be more then just a threat.
Until the Gulf War the Patriot had not been tested in combat. (7) In August 1990, Saddam Hussein ordered his army and strategically placed his troops on the southeastern border of Iraq. Surrounding nations predicted that

T´etreault describes the main contours of Kuwaiti politics in the 20th century with special attention to the 1990s. According to T´etreault, the “main event” of 20th century Kuwaiti politics has been the “repeated clashes between would-be citizens demanding civil and political rights and what has become over the period a deeply entrenched albeit variably autocratic ‘traditional’ regime” (p. 2). Citizens are in conflict with the regime in Kuwait to expand political pluralism while limiting the rulers’ prerogatives. It is not a fight to control a lone dictator the amirs of Kuwait are thus not
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK It involves using theories to explain the existing problem in various situations. Realism theory and the dependency theory will be used to explain the existing conflict between Israel and Palestine. It will also be able to justify the use of force by the Israeli government when dealing with Palestinian Hamas. Realism theory in the Israeli and Palestine conflict Realism theory explains how states are selfish, struggle to gain power and succeed in acquiring its national interests in the international system. Realists identify world politics as a trans-historical and trans-geographical struggle for power, and that in this context Thucydides’ dictum that, “the strong do what they have the power to do and the weak accept what they have to accept” (where strength and weakness are calculated by military capabilities) is the stark and universal truth (Schmidt, 2007; Thucydides, 1972, p. 402).
