Dealing with North Korea
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper discussing nine options that the United States has for dealing with the government of North Korea regarding North Korea’s commitment to military buildup and threatening language regarding nuclear capability. When the time comes for action regarding North Korea, the choices available to US decision-makers likely will be best left to the UN. North Korea is so hostile to the US that any US-based suggestion for resolution is likely to be rejected out of hand. None of the world can afford to merely let us “fight it out;” we must be able to arrive at compromise shortly. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. The extent to which democratization and development in the Middle East is a precarious endeavor is both grand and far-reaching. While the ultimate outcome will serve to be beneficial and worth the tremendous effort, the political, economic and cultural obstacles facing this objective will prove challenging at best. That various entities seek to establish their respective approach to political development represents but one obstacle; the Iraqi people themselves reflect yet another. The United States is not daunted by these challenges, however, and looks to accomplish its goal of democratization both fully and without compromise. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Deterrence to War
[ send me this essay ]
Earth was once a world where deterrence safeguarded any one country or leader from ruling the planet or other countries. That time has passed. The George W. Bush Administration has used September 11 to change war strategy around the world just in time to guarantee (it would appear) that rogue states like Iraq, North Korea and China don’t amass any equalizing power in the form of nuclear or military arsenals, used or not. Under the Cold War deterrence policy . . . the world and the United States, Bush’s strong arm move to forced disarmament over the equalizing force of deterrence policy has completely swept away the near-term global peace that had almost settled in only 50 years after World War II. Now, we all have to live with the consequences, and the extremity of those consequences could be severe. 6 works cited. jvDetere.rtf
