Like said above U.S its always in the war, and the most of the time U.S its in other countries to “help”. Help another country who really need its a good principle, but everyone knows that help its not the only reason, it always have a second intention, interests. And again failed “Be guided by principles, not interests”.…
The United States intervention was unwarranted and unwanted. We were trying to stake a claim over a country for our own personal gain, and it was not successful. Not only did we help them become a corrupt nation, but we also aided in their struggle with our consistent placement of United States troops. To help a nation is one thing, but once again we have intervened where we were not wanted.…
During World War II, the US played an absolute vital role in Europe. Earlier in the war, the US had continued with its isolationism, but after the bombing of Pearl Harbour by the Japanese, America had entered the war on the side of the Allies. By the end of the Second World War, many countries were growing out of their economic depressions.…
Should the U.S. or other countries/organizations have intervened more or less? I do believe there is at least a little something the U.S. have done more to prevent more lost boys or child soldiers.…
As a citizen of the United States, I strongly believe that it is best that we should get involved in the raging war in Europe. If this action is taken, the United States won’t appeal to many European countries as useful or any help whatsoever as well as backstabbing them. If others fail, we fail because we are all dependent on each other internationally. If we choose to intervene, we will help make peace. Another result in isolating ourselves from the war is rather than going to the war, the war will come to us and we won’t be prepared for the disasters that lie ahead. The benefits will outweigh the consequences if the United States chooses wisely to intervene during this world war.…
A major debate that is being discussed both domestically and internationally is the involvement of the United States of America in international affairs. This debate includes the practicality of where the United States has intervened in foreign affairs, its right to intervene in the first place considering past mistakes and questionable leadership, and whether or not that foreign involvement is in the general public’s best interest. Obviously, the two sides of the debate refer to the ‘yes’ position, explained by Ivan Eland (as in yes, the United States should limit it’s global involvement) and also the ‘no’ position, backed by President Barack Obama (as in no, the United States should not limit it’s foreign involvement). Eland’s basis for his argument is that the United States has habitually overspent it’s treasure and overextended it’s military power to a point where we cannot keep pace economically and which could bring upon the demise of the American government as we know it. He also points out that continued foreign endeavors increases the risk of the United States being a target for terrorist attack. Obama’s vision is that The United States of America needs to re-establish its place as a world leader by maintaining an active foreign policy. Obama admits that mistakes have been made where international affairs are concerned, but that is a reason to fix those mistakes and step up as a suitable leader once more. Discussed later in the paper is my own point of view, which supports President Barack Obama and his plan for active engagement in foreign affairs, in a conservative and confidant manner.…
As our nation’s sixteenth President once said, “Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose- and you allow to make war at pleasure”(Franklin D. Roosevelt and American Foreign Policy 38). This quote from Abraham Lincoln exemplifies the time before the United States joined into World War 2. Many American citizens wanted to stay out of WWII and European affairs. Although President Franklin D. Roosevelt did not “invade” a nation, America did help the Allied Powers against Germany for a second time.…
Another place we can look for the negative consequences of politicizing a humanitarian issue is in the situations of non-consensual military intervention. Politicizing intervention can have significant negative consequence on the stability and security of a state. In many instances sovereign states will intervene in other sovereign states, without consent, if they believe there is a humanitarian crisis at hand. From an outside…
An example for going into a war due to involvement by the country, is the French involvement in Vietnam. Due to colonizing Vietnam, the French didn’t want to lose said area; so they went to war. Second, is alliances. Alliances are a strategic reason to become involved in a war, because then when your country needs the help, alliances will have your back. Countries without alliances are at risk for attack or imperialism. The third reason of benefits for a country is a risky justification. Many Americans were dissatisfied with US involvement in the Frist Gulf War due to the hidden reason of wanting to obtain Kuwait’s special oil. However, benefits such as stopping terrorism by being involved in the War on Terror are more than enough. If lives will be saved in the long run by going to war, the war is just. Lastly, a just reason for going to war would be if injustices are happening. The only example needed more this rationale is the countless lives lost when Adolf Hitler decided that those not of his Aryan ideal could be wasted. War is not an end all to problems, but it is at times, the only…
In 2003, a genocide began in the Darfur region of Sudan. According to the website, “World Without Genocide” the Sudanese government armed arab militia groups to attack ethnic affair groups. This has escalated to the mass slaughter of 480,000 people. The Sudanese government called this campaign “getting at the fish by draining the sea”. This is why countries around the world should open up their eyes and help a country that is going through a genocide.…
In your opinion, what was the point at which U.S. actions were no longer neutral? Explain your reasoning with supporting…
Many people debate over where government intervention is appropriate and personal freedom should begin. One of these highly discussed topics is banning smoking in public places. The ban of smoking in public has many advantages and reasons. Smoking in public puts innocent adults, teenagers, and children at risk of serious health problems. If smoking is banned in public, this may help lower rates of potential smokers and current smokers as well. The welfare of the nonsmoker and the smoker are both affected by allowing smoking in public. By banning smoking in these areas, the population would be positively influenced.…

By not wanting to get intervene unless we are directly threatened gives the illusion that we are independent, both economically and socially. Our biggest trading partners include Japan, Mexico, China, and Canada – with Canada in the lead with over 300,000+ exports. If a bloodshed occurs that hinders the flow of exportation, were we only then going to find it justifiable to intervene? This choosy posture is arrogant and self-fulling.…
