War in Iraq, is one of the controversial events in history of American wars. It takes two to tango, and this is the case of the war in Iraq.

The invasion was suggested to have begun following the 9/11 attack of World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001. Americans attacked Iraq in 2003 and toppled Saddam’s dictatorship, and seven years later the war came to end (Mahnken Continue reading...

Numerous theoretical perspectives try to explain the state of Iraqi before and after the United States invasion in 2003. Most importantly, the western assumptions are biased towards the leadership and governance of Iraqi. As a result, the theories have created mixed symptoms and the causes of ethnic conflicts and sectarianism does not have evidence to approve the underlying assumptions. In my opinion, I argue that, the assumptions and biases of the western have played a large role to convince the society that Iraqi government is responsible for the suffering of its citizens. The United States of America have itself Continue reading...

Abstract

The Lake Moeris Quarry Road built while the Old Kingdom of Egypt between 26th and 22nd centuries B.C. is the oldest paved road of the world and is testimony to the excellent sense of planning and execution of the ancient Egyptians of that period.

Introduction

The Stoning of Soraya M. is a true story regarding a horrific injustice tale set in Iran about a book by a French Iranian journalist. It is directed by an “Iranian-American” filmmaker. The Stoning of Soraya M actually puts on a good face and, therefore, it appears to be a morality story regarding the religious extremism, misogyny and the deadliness of the highest inaction. The central essay about the film is about how not stoning women to death is admirable (Sahebjam: 30). The film is based on a true story regarding a woman coming from a small village in Continue reading...

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is an important business principle that is fuelling growth in economies, whether they are big or small. Economic growth is clearly manifested when a country’s entrepreneurial sector is emancipated. Such is the case of Saudi Arabia, a country that is already rich in terms of mineral resources and developed socially and economically. Saudi Arabia is pushing for the transition of its economy from a resource-based one to a knowledge-based one. To do so, it is pump-priming its small and medium businesses through a combination of government led and private sector led initiatives, all envisioned to create an Continue reading...

Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) In Iraq-Afghanistan Wars

Abstract
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are homemade bombs that are constructed and deployed in certain ways. Since October 2001, IEDs have been responsible for over 3000 combat deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. These devises are designed to specifically kill, harass, or injure people or groups of people.

Accounting for Change - Monarchism, Oil, and the Coercive Apparatus

A few years after the Arab Spring began numerous protests from Middle East countries emerged. Many protests have failed to challenge their political leaders. However, in spite of these disenchantments, a golden opportunity is provided by the Arab Spring. Unrests in Arab countries have been endless and the revolution of Arab culture has been gradual. The presence of oil wealth and monarchism has reduced the likelihood of an uprising through the establishment of barriers to protest escalation. Tunisia and Egypt have had protests against bad leaders. These actions have played a significant part in determining the survival of their Continue reading...

MOVEMENTS IN RELATION TO CHRISTIANITY

The account of the Crusades, which happened during the Middle Ages, is considered as a significant part of the history of Christianity and the church. It is regarded as the first great enterprise that shows “common zeal of the Christian nations of Europe.” At the same time, these religiously-driven military movements brought forth diverse social, economic, and political impacts upon the European region. History shows no similar record where so many men from different countries and social ranks were brought together having equal enthusiasm. Hundreds of thousands of lives were sacrificed during these campaigns. However, it is being contested Continue reading...
