Political Science war in Iraq would be dangerous at best, disastrous at worst. It will embolden the terrorist cause and encourage further attacks against the United States and its allies. Support for al-Qaida and other terrorist networks will increase, as anti-American sentiment will grow exponentially. A war in Iraq will exacerbate tensions in the Middle East, a region already ripe with political strife. The use of military might to overthrow Saddam Hussein will confirm the negative image many people have about the United States and may stimulate further grassroots movements to undermine American interests. War in Iraq will also verify the accusation that America's main concern is control of oil reserves in the region. An overthrow of the Iraqi government amounts to a selfish, ill-advised political and military move. Moreover, tens of thousands of civilians stand to be killed in what would doubtlessly become a total war. American troops would be exposed to biological and chemical...
would likewise be threatened with weapons of mass destruction. Saddam Hussein's willingness to deploy nuclear weapons should be enough encouragement to avoid a war in Iraq.
This is not to say that Americans should recoil in fear at the name "Saddam," or shirk responsibility. On the contrary, Americans should exhibit strength and resiliency in the face of rampant hatred and mistrust. But the terrorist attacks of September 11 are not directly linked to the Iraqi regime. Even if they were, care must be taken before leaping into a potential war of mass destruction. Retaliation on the scale called for by the U.S. government would entail a slaughter of innocents that would far surpass that of September 11 in scope. It is time for patience, not for misplaced anger.
Nor is it time for greed. United States involvement in the affairs of other nations, such as those in Central and South America, should teach our…
The blame game began almost immediately, and President Bush, together with many among the American people, looked for scapegoats. Iraq - a Muslim nation weakened by war and economic sanctions - would prove an easy target of American wrath in this new era of suspicion and fear. The belief had arisen that, if the rules governing intelligence had been different, 9/11 might have been prevented. A frequent target of
This should not have been the view that the nation held especially in light of the 1993 attack on the World Trade Towers, the attacks on the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996 and the 2000 attack on the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen. Each of the attacks had not only killed Americans but should have signaled to the country the woeful lack of ability the nation possessed with
Investment in the "global economy" remains a domestic matter: The fact is, the total amount of the world's capital formation that is generated from foreign direct investment (FDI) has been less than 10% for the last three years for which data are available (2003-2005). In other words, more than 90% of the fixed investment around the world is still domestic. And though merger waves can push the ratio higher, it

Political Science Annotated Bibliography The Purpose of a Political Court In the view of Henry J. Abraham (Abraham 1998, 55), "theoretically," just about any qualified law school graduate with ambitions for an important judicial appointment would appear to have a fair chance at being nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court. That is providing, of course, the candidate is politically "available" and is, in Abraham's words, "acceptable to the executive, legislative, and private forces
