Mr President
Modern Latin America

Mr. President? The responsibility of the American President is endless. Their decisions can change certainly not only their nation but also that of the entire world. The United
States being an international powerhouse, its policies will have a shockwave effects throughout the rest of the World. I am the President of the United States. The choices I make cannot be taken lightly and I will do everything in my power to ensure I make the best decision possible. I am surrounded by very intelligent and experienced people that will keep me updated on events and help me in making these choices, it is up to me in which case our great nation will take and in doing so will have to live with the selection and not turn back and regret it. Any show of weakness or a flip flop trait will show a sign of weakness and indecision. So I am faced with a challenge and the lives of 200 American lives are now in my hands.

An ambassador of a Latin American country with dictatorship control has informed me of a coup and the taking of its capital city. There are 200 Americans who’s lives are in danger if action is not taken soon. This country is a member of the
OAS so I may resort to their opinion on the matter at a later time and could possibly ask for military or diplomatic assistance as well. The ambassador suggests a military intervention to evacuate the Americans and intervene in the rebellion. I would first get information on how many rebel forces we stand against, who is leading the rebellion, and if diplomatic action can be taken first in order to quench the rebellion. It is vital to know who and how many we are fighting before we take any action. If there is an overwhelming amount of rebels (which appears to be the case seeing as they have taken over the capital) our first objective is to save the lives of the American citizens. We may take military action as stated in Article 18. The

    The conflict in Syria has reached a critical point, and we as a nation must make a decision and agree on decisive action. For the past 2 years, over 100,000 people have been killed in the civil war in Syria, by traditional weaponry and more recently, by use of chemical weapons. The role of the Department of Defense is to support U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region, while ensuring that the U.S. Armed Forces remained prepared to protect U.S. interests and uphold security commitments that we’ve made in the region. There are several options available, including working with the United Nations and members of the U.N. Security Council to facilitate the removal of Assad and his chemical weapons stores, but keeping the threat of military action against the Assad regime on the table is vital to preventing the Syrian government from ordering another chemical weapons strike against the civilian population.1…

    It is for these that we speak. We do not come as aggressors. Our war is not a war of conquest. We are fighting in the defense of our homes, our families, and posterity. We have petitioned, and our petitions have been scorned. We have entreated, and our entreaties have been disregarded. We have begged, and they have mocked when our calamity came.…

    Our movement may be one of a few days duration and full of pleasure - and it may be one of severe conflict and death to me. Not my will, but thine 0 God, be done. If it is necessary that I should fall on the battlefield for my country, I am ready. I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in, the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly American Civilization now leans upon the triumph of the Government, and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the Revolution. And I am willing - perfectly willing - to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this Government, and to pay that debt.…

    My blind spot is I can trust to easily at times. Another weakness is feeling bad about decision I had to make because the outcome could be upsetting or hurtful to others. This is when I feel that my best isn’t good enough. Another weakness I have is believing that everyone I come into contact with thinks like me and can be rational like I am. I believe that my way in thinking is very logical because I try to see things from everyone’s point of view so I feel everyone should be that way. If a person does something different from how I would have handled a situation I feel that they did not handle the situation properly or that they didn’t make the right decision. Another weakness is I can find myself very overwhelmed in decision making and it can cause me to isolate myself or shut down from everything happening around me until I can come to a solution. The same thing can happen if I find that I have hurt someone close to me as well.…

    The President of the United States, the chief executive officer of the federal government, the leader of the executive branch, and the commander in chief of the armed forces has certain constitutional powers. How much power does he really have? Does he have too much? Does he have too little, or not enough? In my opinion, I believe that the President of the United States of America has just enough power to run our country, deal with foreign and domestic policies, and fight the War on Terror In this essay, I will discuss my opinion, what the president’s powers are under the Constitution, and whether or not the president’s role has expanded beyond these powers in domestic and foreign policy.…

    Switzerland has noted the rise in terrorism in the 20th and 21st centuries and has taken steps to protect its citizens. The Swiss position is best described by Justice Minister Blocher, “Switzerland will worry about Switzerland, and the U.S. can worry about the rest of the world”. Blocher echoes the Swiss government’s position that it’s main concern is its citizens. This being said, Switzerland maintains that it is considered a low threat target for terrorist organizations but emphasizes that the country can be used as a transit point and logistics centre for Islamist groups (The Guardian). Even before becoming a United Nation’s member in 2001, Switzerland had UN style resolutions to deal with terrorism. Switzerland is a member of the Counter Terrorism Action Group and has endorsed international plans to take action against terrorism (Switzerland). Furthermore, Swiss officials have…

    International Law Terrorism

    The events of 11 September 2001 present military lawyers—like the rest of the U.S. armed forces—with a variety of new challenges. Indeed, the war on terrorism raises complex legal issues (not the least of which is whether it is a “war” at all!). As difficult as it may be to determine what law applies to a particular question, the even more challenging task is to translate the legal analysis into something understandable to commanders and their troops. The purpose of this essay is to try to facilitate that assignment. What follows is a series of predicable questions occasioned by recent events. Each is accompanied by a suggested response. These answers are not intended to be comprehensive dissertations on every aspect of the topic queried, but rather on designed to give the nonspecialist a cogent statement of the key points. Realistically, the practitioner would be well served to consider the responses more as vectors for further study as opposed to final and definitive declarations. It is especially important to ensure that the proposed answers are “Shepardized,” so to speak, to ensure compliance with the most current authorities and national policy. Nevertheless, it is hoped tha5 the format and citations would provide legal professionals and their clients with a useful starting point in addressing the emerging challenges of America’s first “war” of the 21st century. 1. What is terrorism? Legally, terrorism is defined in the U.S. Code as “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents….”1 The U.S. Department of Defense defines it somewhat more broadly, calling it: “The calculated use of unlawful violence or the threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political,…

    Recent developments in Iran: Iran has violated United Nations Security Council Resolutions to stop enrichment activity and has continued its nuclear program in secrecy. Recent news by ‘The Telegraph’ shows that Iran, along with Russia has attacked Aleppo in Syria. Also, despite a UN ban, Iran tested a medium range missile which can carry nuclear weapons. Bahrain has accused Iran of supporting terrorism. For these reasons, the American public would feel that military attack on Iran is justified but long term effects must be evaluated before taking any…
