I want to end my life?
Pick one IR-relevant policy debated during the 2008 US presidential campaign – e.g. Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, Climate Change, “Don't ask, don't tell”, etc. Compare the statements/promises that were made by presidential candidate Barack Obama to the basic approach that has been taken since then, i.e. have the promises been at least partially fulfilled, has the administration attempted to fulfill them and failed so far, or has the administration not even attempted to fulfill the promises? Use the first four levels of analysis – world system, international relations, government structure, and characteristics of society – to explain the success, failure, or relative failure of the administration to fulfill the promises made.
I NEED HELP WITH MY ESSAY!?
After numerous foreign trips, filled with apologies for past American Imperialism, oppression, and arrogance,(throw in an unearned nobel Prize too), his special offer to talk with foreign Dictators is being slapped down with disdain and hatred for America. El Presidente for life Hugo Chavez still distrusts America and is cozying up to the RUSSIANS! Iran;'s mouthy leader A bad diner jacket is now building bigger launch pads and more centrifuges. And now No. Korean Nutjob Kim ILL "in the head" Sung is threatening to blow up America and South Korea! (with his 3 atom bombs) http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,588342,00.html?loomia_ow=t0:s0:a4:g4:r5:c0.000000:b0:z5 Result? Obama's is looking more and more ineffective all the time. Even almost silly , mad, nutjob dictators from small, backwards little countries are now openly taunting and smearing Obama's best efforts to be so cozy, warm, and fuzzy with them (because he's a Lefty and so understanding and likeable they'll have to like US more!) But thats my take. WHAT SAY YOU AMERICA? Please opine with pithy comments from anywhere, even North Korea, anytime anytime if you wish to opine, and when answering, please, no Lib offers to be friendly with the enemy allowed in the No Spin Zone! Amd remember, the spin stops here because we are definitely looking out for you!
Has the Obana foreign policy outreach to dictators blown up in his face?
This new path with not blinding allowing china to dictate terms to us is good. Even though the arm sales to Taiwan was carrot and stick at its best with China's non acceptance of U.S policy towards Iran. Also it helps to tarnish the image with regard to Tibet for China's policy there .
U.S.relations with China a plus or minus ?
Consider these facts before you answer 1- The UN, IAEA, Russia, China and many other countries dont believe the US's claim what makes the US opinion more important? (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/13/AR2006091302052.html) 2- Iran allowed all IAEA terms so anything else would be a violation of its rights. 3-The US as we speak is researching more nuclear weapons and Goerge Bush himself said if he attacks Iran he will consider using nuclear weapons (Ironic hey, to stop them from having nukes we nuke them?) (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=1714) 4-The USA does not listen to the UN or UN law or France or Germany, Russia, China...etc They do what they want, when they want and expect Iran to not be worried. 5-Iran does not want to end up like Iraq.- 6-IF the US is so worried why don't they just let Israel deal with Iran? What motives do the US have in getting into this war? (could it be Iran has 136 trillions of Black gold?) So Im getting you are following my drift here , so how come everyone in the world except Americans see this ?@ first answer: Depends on who is the thug: If we talk about anyone who breaks UN laws, invades country based on fallacies then the US's included. Otherwise if you just mean the weak then yeah.LOL @ neocons giving proofless bs, if all of what you are saying is true how come your countries sanctions are not getting through?Irans a danger to the world? 1-Iran never invaded a country without UN permission based on BS and kill 1 million+ civilians. The only reason the US got away with that is because no country is stronger than it. 2-Iran never armed sadaam Hussien with Chemical and biochemical weapons. 3-Iran does not go around building settlements in other peoples land.
What gives the U.S the right to stop Irans nuclear program?
is taking with Afghanista, Al Qaeda, North Korea, and Iran. In your opinion, what action should the US take against these countries referring to WW11.
The WWII policy of appeasement to the actions the US government?
Maybe I am wrong but I tend to judge things based on a body count not just only what people say to put lip stick over a mass grave. Since 1948 Jews in the United States government and the Christian United Nations gained so called international approval to begin a long process of genocide against the non Jewish population in Palestine which is still an ongoing thing. Since then the United states military with its wars and sanctions against Muslim countries not allied with the US or its beloved state of Israel has led to the deaths of about 12 million Muslims mostly women and Children in the case of Iraq and Afghanistan and Palestine. The United States and Israel want to control the middle east just like Hitler wanted complete control over Europe. For Hitler the Jews were not loyal to the Nazi party so he used military force against them or made them flee the all territories controlled by Germany. For the United States and Israel the same can be said in Palestine or Muslim countries not supporting the genocide of Palestinians like Iran and Iraq or Afghanistan. Since the the fall of Soviet Russia the US has exclusively waged war against non conforming Muslims just like how Hitler waged war against non conforming Jews. How could there be any difference between Hitlers Nazi parties religious extremism and the United States and Israels religious extremism? If you was to ask an average American today what they think about Muslims their answer would be about the same as if you were to ask a Nazi what they think about the Jews.
How could the United States government not be any less at war against Muslims than Hitlers Nazis against Jews?
I know I should have invested in Haliburton and Oil when the Iraq war started but if US goes to war with Iran, do you think Oil and Haliburton stocks will go up again What do you think I should invest in?
If the US goes to war with Iran, do you know what stocks I should invest in?
These guys stormed our embassy, held our people hostage, stomped on our flag, threatened to annihilate the Israeli's, called the Holocaust and 9/11 a lie and defied us with the building of nuclear weapons. How much more crap is the US/NATO going to take from these morons before they actually do something?
How much more crap talking and defiance will it take for NATO to blow Iran off the map?
I hope he doesn't run here in the USA as it looks like he would have a good chance of getting elected. Now he is saying the 9/11 attacks are a big lie. The only people I've ever heard claim that was Democrats. And of course their hatred for Israel seems to parallel Ahmadinejad along with having that little dictator fellow, Barack, that can't get a law passed by his own party when they have control of congress. Not much of a dictator, no matter how much his cult thinks he is... Anyway, Ahmadinejad could be their real one. He said America has never published the victims names so the death toll probably isn't right either. Someone reads the names every year, but that shouldn't stop him from claiming we don't. Even today, Democrats still think Palin said she could see Russia from her home. Since when would a Democrat ever embrace the truth? Anyway, if Ahmadinejad would run for president here (assuming he has a birth certificate in Hawaii that won't be release either) would you vote for him if he promised nuclear energy to replace the oil well sites the Democrats won't let us drill? It seems like a win-win situation. He said there were no gays living in Iran, so that would eliminate the problems with gay marriages and I think they execute you for abortions so that would solve two problems at once, the way I see it. IOW, it would reduce repeat abortions from the same mother. I'm thinking if Ahmadinejad took over we could wipe Israel off the face of the map and put the Palestinians in charge. Give them about a dozen nukes so there would be stability in the Arab region. It's just some ideas that I'm kicking around... but don't get me wrong, we'd still blame everything on Bush. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100306/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_iran
Is Iran's Ahmadinejad starting to sound more and more like a Democrat every day?
We have amassed armies on both sides of Iran who has threatened nuclear holocaust on mankind and has made it clear that they intend to make good on the threat. The government there has waged a war against it's own people also. Either our government took the long road and duped everybody or there is devine intervention. We could not be in a more advantageous position to finally put an end to the unrest that has plagued the region and has spilled over into the rest of the world.gina-noted. but rangers never just make the best of a crappy siuation. they intend to win.you should be proud. you're husband is making the world a better place.for your kids and mine.levon- it's good to see the bears again
