It was soon after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S.A. carried out by an Islamic militant outfit, Al-Qaeda that the impetus to the Bush administration to strengthen the existing Presidential powers came into being, and this has been taken by some persons as meaning that the President of the United States now enjoys much more powers than other post-Watergate Presidents, and by others that the President Bush today has managed to seize certain powers that have been traditionally shared with other parts of the Government. This is probably the reason that it is the general opinion of a large...
The President therefore today has the right to take pre-emptive action against war or any other form of threat to the U.S.A. The Democrats, on the other hand, mere mute spectators of the enlarging of Presidential powers, have been relegated to the sidelines.
However, what is important here is the fact that the President of the United States of America has had imposed on him certain restrictions, through the War Powers Act, because the president would not be able to
War on Terror & Human Rights The so-called "war on terror" -- initiated by former president George W.

However, when considering that the Martians' superior technology is not enough to provide them with the opportunity to be
We must not forget, however, that, like most countries, China's economic leaps are tied to her political security. China's new model shows the world that economic security is as important as military security. Presently, though, based on the economic and political model of the world, China is focused on domestic economic issues and a slow but steady rise to socio-political power and role as a strategic player in global
Diplomacy: The establishing of healthy diplomatic relationships with other nations is an important tool in guaranteeing a safer nation with peace. In efforts aimed at improving the diplomatic ties with some Middle East countries like Pakistan, the United States embarked on strategies of cooling hostilities with these countries. For a long period, some Middle East countries have been considered as nations which sponsor terrorism particularly against the United States. This notion
In my opinion, the 'war on terror' like all other wars is irrational and the mainstream media is not playing an objective role in getting the average American involved in the matter. If terrorism as defined in some strict sense does not exist, on what exactly is the war all about? The needs to answer this question and to have faith and belief in the government are confusing and require
