In recent discussions of trumps airstrike, a controversial issue has been whether or not Trumps strike was warranted. On the one hand, Author Tom Smith argues that the syrian strike was a good thing. From this perspective Smith assumes Trump is taking a step in the right direction. On the other hand, however, Author Aldan Heir argues that the syrian strike was illegal. In the words of Heir, one of the view’s main proponents,” These airstrikes are clearly illegal.”
The United States fought unnecessary wars in Vietnam and Iraq. The war on communism, in Vietnam, severed the United States compared to the war on terrorism, in Iraq. During both wars the U.S. Military spent millions to billions of money, deaths were extremely high, and both failed to accomplish their purpose. Firstly the Iraq War dealt massive harm to the United States in multiple ways.
Considering that the focus of this essay remains the national address made by Bush on the night of September 11, the findings of the researchers with regards to the speech will be of particular emphasis. The researchers found: “From overall foreign policy job performance rating in the morning (M = 45.03) to the post-speech approval of his announced policy actions and intentions (M = 78.10), his rating improved by 33 points” (Schubert et al., 2002, p. 572). Bush’s approval ratings, in the area of foreign policy, skyrocketed 33 points after the speech was delivered, thus, insinuating a causal link existing between the national address and public approval of a president. The researchers further note: “The data from our respondents show a significant effect for the Bush address on positive emotions (BAS arousal) and a strong effect on approval ratings of his policy statements. These effects on approval ratings were significantly enhanced for those actually viewing Bush’s address (Schubert et al., 2002, p. 578).
Jadyn Gorsuch HIS1220: U.S. History from Civil War to Present Michael J. Nielson Sr. May 16, 2024 Pueblo Community College/ Dolores High School Final Project Argumentative Essay The Iraq War: Failure or Success? Abstract Although the Iraq War severely undermined American trust and economy, in the end, it was a quiet triumph as a democratic government was established in Iraq. Furthermore, Saddam Hussein's repressive regime was overthrown among a multitude of other occurrences of immense value.
“Going to war was the only unselfish thing I have ever done for humanity,” said David Niven. In Iraq, March 2003, the U.S went to war with ISIS. George W. Bush said the Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, was hiding nuclear weapons to kill a lot of people. When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, he brought the last U.S troops home. He then took the rest of the troops out in 2011 because it cost too much money for too many deaths.
There was an attack on Syria that the U.S., Britain, and France had launched on Friday April 13th. There are many of good reasons why the U.S., Britain, and France have bombed Syria. They have decided to attack them because of their multiple chemical weapons use and attacks on their own people. The 3 countries have targeted 3 chemical plants that are producing the chemical weapons. This is a major problem because the countries banned chemical warfare after World War I because of gas bombs.
Some mornings lead to long nights and lengthy wars. September 11, 2001 was one such morning. The devastating terrorist attacks stole the lives of innocent Americans and stole the innocence with which many Americans viewed the world. The United States quickly plunged into intense combat operations in the Middle East. Fathers and mothers watched their children board planes to fight for freedom, and many Americans watched on television screens as news anchors revealed the devastation that always follows conflict.
An airstrike probably only destroy a few of their weapons not enough to make them stop fighting in the war. If the United States wants real damage they would have to drop a number of airstrikes to make real damage, that is a waste of weapons. Why not just drop the atomic bomb and have a greater impact than releasing a big quantity of airstrikes? The atomic bomb will get the work done in a few seconds and will be more efficient than shooting bunch of
The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was a disaster. What should have been a quick and dominant victory over terrorism turned into one of America’s biggest mistakes. A mistake that was fueled by lies cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, destroyed a country, and created more instability in the Middle East. After years of fighting, the negatives outweighed the positives, and therefore, the American invasion of Iraq was not justified due to the amount of deaths, lies, and instability caused before, during, and after the war.
Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East. The oil that, when we left Iraq, we should have taken, now ISIS has. And what they don't have, Iran has. I want to have the strongest military that we've ever had -- and we need it more now than ever -- but I said, "Don't hit Iraq. You're going to totally destabilize the Middle East.
The terror group ISIS has for the last years made big problems for the western countries. Their beliefs and “way of life” is reversed from the western mainstream, and this has resulted in a dangerously hot tension between the east and the west. What the best solution is to this problem we don’t know, but there are a lot of different opinions on how we should approach this problem. From the packet we received I agree with article nr. two of Andrew J. Bacevich.
August 6th 1945, for many it was the beginning of the end of an almost four year long struggle, but for others it was a day of horror. An entire city gone in seconds, along with 140,000 people. Yet, this ended the bloodiest conflict in history. The most devastating war of all history ended with the creation and use of the most destructive weapon of war. For almost 50 years and even to today its use echoed how easily we could destroy ourselves.
The morning of September 11th, 2001 was one that would change the world forever. An event that killed almost 3000 people would lead to the eventual loss of over 300,000 lives. September 11th, 2001 has become a day engrained on each American citizens memory and is still observed with a quiet reverence. The events of September 11th, 2001 would have severe implications on national and international security for several countries and sparked a “War on Terror”. This war has lasted for 13 years and is set to continue for the years to come.
The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, otherwise known as ISIS, is an Islamic terrorists group who is very brutal. Beheading, beating to death, and manipulating a lot of others in the world. The world needs to take this group down so nothing worse happens to the world. The countries in the world need to come together and defeat this group. By coming together it would outnumber ISIS and surround them and force them to surrender.
He needs to insure our safety, first for the short term. Recent countermeasures aginst ISIS have proven beneficial. President Obama has recently said, "ISIL leaders cannot hide, and our next message to them is simple: You are next,". This shows our commitment to curing the world of this plague. Small-scale attacks should be sufficient to slow the rapid growth, but they will not be able to hold them in the long run.
