S. After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the Talibans refused to hand-over Osama, and the U.S. forces invaded Afghanistan and ousted the Talibans. Most of the devastated country is now ruled by war-lords and despite claims of democracy; the country has degenerated into a lawless narco-state.
3. Iraq:
Iraq was invaded by the U.S. In March 2003 on the pretext that it possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction and was a direct threat to the U.S. The real aim was the implementation of a Neo-con plan to spread American style democracy in the Middle East and secure Israeli interests in the region. Three years later, no WMDs have been found, a violent insurgency in Iraq has taken more than 1500 American soldiers' lives, and the neo-con dream of spreading democracy is an illusion despite claims to the contrary by some right wing / neo-conservative journalists.
Possible Solution:
To my mind, the only possible solution to the problem in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq lies in a radical change...
foreign policy, i.e., in the 'Bush doctrine' of pre-emptive war, unilateralism, military pre-eminence of the United States and an active promotion of democracy in other parts of the world. Its policy of one-sided support of Israel also needs review. Withdrawal of unconditional support by the U.S. To Israel would encourage it to accept a possible solution of the Palestine problem based on a formula such as the Saudi Peace Plan of 2002, which offered peace and recognition of Israel, in return for full withdrawal by Israel from the occupied territories for a Palestinian state. Abandoning unilateralism, discarding the futile attempt to impose American-style democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan and adopting a less arrogant presence on the world stage could reduce anti-Americanism and the escalating Islamic terrorism directed the U.S.
Most of the Jewish population in the Palestinian territory consisted of recent immigrants who had immigrated to the area after the 1890s as a result of the Zionist movement.

Iraq and Afghanistan also differ in a few key ways. Iraq was a largely secular society, whereas Afghanistan is strongly religious. Iraq's history was more stable, despite the war with Iran. Afghanistan, on the other hand, has a long history of war and battling invasions. Iraq and the Balkans are similar in terms of nation-building in that they both have sources of wealth at their disposal. The Balkans enjoy a
Despite high security in Baghdad, house searches, and strret patroling by the troops, the city remains pagued with violence. The current situation makes the use of miltary force as remedy for the current situation a useless option. A joint operation by Iraqi and coalition forces by the name of Operation Forward Together was also launched but jihadi elements, sectarian forces and nationalist elements continue to paly havoc with the
Iraq Reconstruction Reconstruction of Iraq: UN or U.S. Responsibility? Three years ago, the world had witnessed two significant events that determined the fate of two of the most powerful nations in the world: the World Trade Center bombing in United States, and, consequently, the U.S. offensive against Iraq in March 2002 (Gulf War II). These events have eventually led to the oust of Saddam Hussein, incumbent dictator/leader of Iraq and the temporary
America-Afghanistan Relations While it might seem counter-intuitive to the average American, it would be beneficial to the United States to remain allies with Afghanistan. The most passionate argument against this opinion is generally one which recounts the events of September 11th, and which argues that given the pure evil that was waged on U.S. soil and the lives that were lost, not to mention the sense of safety and security that
Iraq War - on Iraq and the U.S. Personal Narrative The drums of war once again echo in my ears. I am disgusted seeing Donald Rumsfeld on television defending the U.S. invasion of Iraq. CNN shows old footage of Rumsfeld shaking Saddam Hussein's hand, made in the late eighties when the U.S. was providing know-how for Saddam to build chemical weapons. I was five years old when we left the country,
U.S. Invasion of Iraq- Reasons US Invasion of Iraq: Reasons The Republic of Iraq is located in South West Asia. Baghdad is its capital and Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the Persian Gulf, Iran and Turkey are its neighboring countries. More than 95% of the population in Iraq is Muslim. The members of Shiites sect are the main inhabitants of the country (The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition 2009). Saddam Hussein Takriti came in
