The technological progress of the last several decades never ceases to amaze. There are many recent inventions that have made people's lives more comfortable and joyful.

Works Cited 13

The issue of insurgency is not unique to the United ...

A half century ago, the terrorism and extremist forms of thought were not prevalent in certain sectors of Middle Eastern society as they are today. Up to the years between 1968 through 1979, Middle Eastern countries remained relatively benign with no outstanding threats of violent political Islam (Bar 127). The rise of international Islamic terrorism was born in the fragmentation of society brought on by the departure of colonialism. Economies had by this time been fundamentally disrupted.

Abstract

The historic incident of the U.S attack on the Iraqi Ba’arthist troops headed by Saddam Hussein on 1991 and the annexation of the country in 2003 have generated different debates on the actual intention of the stakeholders.

These critics believe that America took over the ethical duty to organize the law and order of Iraq and establish a democratic ...

The work that Clausewitz has done on the strategy of war is important because it presents insight into how many of the generals and tacticians who came after were informed by his insights. While it is often understood that his work reflects the importance of raw power, as well as the projection of will, there are also two other important factors in war that he discusses. While he does argue that power is important, he also saw the importance of both the inevitability of random chance and the purpose, motives, or endgame of those ...

Notwithstanding the fact that the war on terror was officially launched by the White House a little more than a decade ago the main trends in the American foreign policy regarding Middle East have changed significantly in these dozen-something years a couple of times. The issue the United States of America are dealing with in case of ISIS is something very different – both in nature and in scale. Compared to the zeal of the Bush administration to fight every single suspected organization and individual in retaliation for the 9/11 assault, Obama administration was (and is) far more reserved about American warfare in ...
