- After The World War Ii Europe Was Weakened In Its Strength
By: Gurdip Malik | - After the World War II Europe was weakened in its strength and United States and America and Russia were the two nations probable for the superpower position.

- Clinton, Gore And Gen. Clark Committed War Crimes
By: William Dorich | - A World conflict, especially one in which President Clinton took us to war in the Balkans without an Act of Congress, a vote at the United Nations, in violation of the UN Charter and resolution #1244, a violation of the NATO Treaty, and the Helsinki Final Act is finally being exposed to the naive American public.

- Imperial War Museum An Illustration Of The War Efforts Of A Bygone Era
By: Pushpitha Wijesinghe | - Imperial War Museum in Southwark London is the oldest out of the five museums in Britain dedicated for war efforts carried out by Britain and her empire. Inaugurated in the year of 1920, the museum was first located in the Crystal Palace but later was moved to the Imperial Institute in South Kensington.

- Terrorism And War - Decoding Difference Between Terrorism And War
By: Andy Truthman | - To the citizens of the U.S., the religious militants who are inciting hatred against the U.S. and hatching plots to kill Americans are terrorists. But to the citizens of countries like Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iran the U.S. and Israeli soldiers are the terrorists.
They are the ones who are invading countries, using chemical weapons on civilians, and killing and torturing innocent citizens. When trying to find the line between terrorism and war minute distinctions are ver ...

- The Global War On Terrorism Is A War Of Deception
By: Andy Truthman | - The global war on terrorism is a war George Bush never intended to win.
Why? Because it is an imaginary war intended to personally exploit the world's resources and that goal never ends.
Although the stated goal of political conservatives is 'less government', their actual goal is to seize the power of the U.S. government for their own interests and those of their friends and benefactors: the utility companies, the large financial institutions, and the entrepren ...

- Pakistan And Taliban- What Should The United States Of America Do?
By: cdmohatta | - There is no secret about the fact that Taliban was created by Pakistan with active help from the United States of America to defeat the Soviets. The monster that was created then is now ready to gobble up Pakistan. United States of America is not worried about talibanisation of Pakistan.

In present circumstances wha ...

- Examining War
By: Charlie Reese | - Throughout the history of mankind, there have been wars. Times of peace, although the preference of most people, seem to exist all too briefly. Prior to the Industrial Age, war was much less sophisticated, in terms of weaponry. War was fought on specified battle grounds, with much conducted in hand-to-hand combat. Civilians were not injured. In even the most ferocious of campaigns, the casualties sustained were nothing like modern warfare.
Today, civilians are fair game in war, acquir ...

- Nuclear Armageddon: Surviving The Unthinkable
By: C.L. Carr | - The prospect of a nuclear exchange between two superpowers was once upon a time, "unthinkable". After 911, with the non-proliferation treaties, the break up of the Soviet Union, and the end of the cold war, what could possibly go wrong? Well, actually a lot. With the break up of the Soviet Union into several smaller republics, a power vacuum was created in the region. Every new nation within the area with a name ending in "stan" started flexing their military muscles. They also started sell ...

- Words Are The Roots Of War
By: Steve Gillman | - The roots of war? Perhaps they are many, but if we're talking about the killing of thousands, the bombing of countries and the large scale conflicts of the last five thousand years or so, one of the roots has to be our use of language. Here is an understanding of war you may not have heard before.
Violence Versus War
Humans, like other animals, are by nature violent in their thoughts and actions. We respond instinctively and forcefully to attacks on our bodies, and ...

- The Impact Of The War On The American Economy
By: Bobby W Miller | - The Iraq war was one of the most disastrous foreign policy decisions of the last few decades, and citizens across America and the world have looked on with horror as politicians and power got out of hand. Some of the primary arguments around the real motivations for war surround the rebuilding effort, and the benefits this would bring to US-based contractors and business owners. However, there are a number of reasons why this argument, in particular, is flawed and the Iraq war has actively pun ...

By: Diane2 | - Swords, the Noblest of Weapons.
Of all the different weapons that are in use today, and of all the different weapons that have existed throughout history, swords are by far the noblest. Yes, swords are brutally effective weapons. But they are far more than that.

I'm going to share with you a couple of things about our country that I wish were not true, but they are. Guys like John McCain and I are not heroes.

- The Bush Doctrine Works
By: C. Read | - The Bush Doctrine works when it is applied properly. It follows in the same path laid out by past US hegemonic aspirations at new world orders. Wilson, Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy [all Democrats]; and Reagan had their own doctrines. Past calls to reform the world or combat evil in various forms always involved moral clarity; military power; financial resources; and ultimately patience and intelligence. The Bush Doctrine, aimed at fascistic Islam, and 'draining the swamps' of the Middle East is n ...

By: Nick Carter | - When it comes to controversy, Bob Miller is certainly no stranger. A veteran of the Vietnam War, Bob Miller is one of the world's most celebrated modern war authors with a sharp pen and a nose for the truth. Harshly critical of the politics and foreign policy from Washington that have seen the US through numerous wars and countless casualties over the last few decades, the former service man turned activist turned author is quickly making a name for himself across the world for his outspoken but ...

- America: The Presidents, The Politics And The Wars
By: Nick Carter | - The United States of America used to pride itself on a reputation for diplomacy and integrity. The world's largest economy, land of the capitalist dream.

- What Happened To Our Democracy?
By: Brian Ankner | - Dwight Eisenhower warned against the United States becoming predominately dependent on military power as a means for its security. The biggest change in American democratic history came about as a result of World War II and the introduction of the nuclear bomb.

One direction was for our government to embrace the principles of the newly formed United Nations, which was ...

- Have You Been Called A Traitor?
By: Doug Ragan | - Are you a traitor because you object to the war? Are you a traitor because you disagree with the President? Are you a traitor because you question the strategy or the tactics used in the war?
The answer is simple, the answer is no. And guess what, no one, not one person, has ever said otherwise.
No one who supports the mission of the war in Iraq has ever called someone a traitor simply because they have a difference of opinion. Not one person who supports the missi ...

- Biological And Chemical Weapons In An Age Of Terror
By: Leon Newton | - A history of terrorism requires a very specific definition to avoid a never-ending summary of every violent act ever recorded. The brief, objective definition proposed by Dr. Boaz Ganor, an Israeli political scientist and deputy dean of the Lauder School of Government and Diplomacy at the Interdiciplinary Center Herzliya, works well for this purpose:terrorism is the intentional use of, or threat to use violence against civilians or against civilian targets, in order to attain politician aims.

- World War Ii Names Still In Our Vocabulary - Part Six - The Kamikaze
By: Bob Carper | - In the closing months of World War II, the term "kamikaze" was anything but funny. Broadly defined, it represented the will of the samurai warrior to give up his life for his country and Emperor in waging an attack against the enemy of his country.
The term "kamikaze" is of Japanese origin and literally means "divine wind." It came into being as the name of legendary typhoons said to have saved Japan from Mongol invasion fleets in 1274 and 1281. In Japanese, the formal term used ...

By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen | - My brothers and sisters in Iman-Islam, let us speak further on the meaning of holy war, or Jihad.

- Prelude To War. Part Iv
By: Kerry Plowright | - Australia is surrounded by the greatest Muslim population on the planet. This includes Indonesia's 180 million and other countries like Malaysia. Should we be worried about that?
The Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on a recent visit to Tehran stated his country was a friend of Iran.

- Prelude To War. Part Iii
By: Kerry Plowright | - Developing an effective defensive strategy and force structure is entirely predicated on understanding near and possible long-term threats. Unlike the past, the acquisition cycle of materiel, training and subsequent deployment of new technologies and weapons systems is a long-term commitment, perhaps 30 years. This means we have to try to predict and cater for all possible threat scenarios that might eventuate in the next thirty years. Historically we barely get the next twelve months right. WW ...

By: Kerry Plowright | - Why would Iran want to start a fight? The Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a true believer of a bloke called the Mahdi. Ahmadinejad and his mates have said many times they want to wipe Israel off the map, destroy America, bring about an Islamic world etc etc. All of this would be funny if Ahmadinejad wasn't about to commission nuclear weapons and wasn't successfully reeling in Indonesia and every other Muslim state and individual into the great plan. It truly is a great plan bringing pe ...

By: Kerry Plowright | - We are rapidly heading for all out war. One of three events will occur, any one of them is cataclysmic.
The U.S. and Australia will be embroiled in a conflict that will pitch Islam against the rest of the world. Today, just like the prelude to World War Two, we are witnessing the opening strokes. The only problem is this one will include WMD and nukes. We are experiencing a rapid slide into a major global conflict and will be at war soon, maybe in 36 months, perhaps sooner. I can ...
