Do you believe the invasion of Iraq successfully meets the principles of a just war? A just war is a war that “can only be waged as a last resort. All nonviolent options must be exhausted before the use of force is justified… can only be fought to redress a wrong suffered… must discriminate between combatants and non-combatants” (What Is A Just War?). The war in Iraq was not used as an only remaining option; it was not used as a means to retaliate for an action imposed against us; and it was

symbol is something that represents something else. In Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle‚ a reoccurring symbol is – unbelievably - the cat’s cradle‚ which is represented in three different ways. There’s the “literal cat’s cradle‚ which is where this symbol comes from‚ and there’s an image of the cradle. But the most interesting way the cat’s cradle is represented is when it’s used as a metaphor in different situations. The cats’ cradle is used as a symbol to signify the difference between the world as it seems

Upon marching into Iraq in 2003‚ American forces were tasked with deposing Saddam Hussein and imposing stability and security. The former was accomplished with stunning rapidity; the latter continues to elude Iraqis‚ regional interests‚ and the Western world almost fifteen years later. Why such chaos? Even the American “surge” of soldiers in 2007 did little to quell the violence. Ethnic conflict between the Kurds‚ Sunnis‚ and Shias‚ extant prior to American involvement‚ intensified post-invasion

derives its name and existence from the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. These two rivers created the Fertile Crescent in the midst of surrounding inhospitable territory. The space we call Mesopotamia is roughly the same as that of the modern country of Iraq. About ten thousand years ago‚ the people of this area began the agricultural revolution.

The customs of Iraq and the United States‚ or in more general terms the western world‚ have their differences. Elizabeth experienced trouble adjusting to the Iraqi culture‚ and many individuals in Iraq had trouble understanding the hers. Fatima‚ a woman of El Nahra‚ suffers as we all do‚ from ethnocentrism‚ believing that her culture is “the right one.” The first set of customs that Fatima believes are superior relate to marriage.

simple example of this is the use of uniforms. The Geneva Conventions provided that lawful combatants must wear a distinguishable uniform. In Iraq and Afghanistan the enemy wore no uniforms while American soldiers are required to wear them. How does a soldier identify the enemy if he wears no uniform? There is little argument that our enemies in Iraq and Afghanistan were not following international law. The argument then turns to how we deal with nations and organizations like these. To

The Clash of Civilizations? It is Samuel Huntington’s opinion that conflict in the post-Cold War world would be caused by cultural differences‚ conflicts amongst nations and groups of different civilizations. In today’s time‚ it is more common to group countries in terms of their civilization aspects‚ such as religion or culture‚ versus that of their economic systems. Huntington explained how interaction amongst the different civilizations will shape the world we live in and any conflicts will occur
