John Quincy Adams Washington Playbook

Nevertheless, by the end of his address,

The Containment Policy was created by George Kennan in 1947 and was the United States’ main method of fighting against the Soviet Union during the Cold War (https://history.state.gov/milestones/1945-1952/kennan). Because the Americans were very against the idea of communism, the containment policy was needed to help stop the spread of communism growing into other countries. The United States wanted more allies, and so provided resources to multiple countries to stop them from falling to communism gained their trust. The containment policy largely contributed to the Cold War because it formed the Marshall Plan, which helped to shape the NATO and the Truman Doctrine made the war more stressful.

He uses logos when he said that, he would support with George W. Bush claim about keeping the military strong and have freedom and not go with Kerry cause, he wants to weaken the military. Zell Miller doesn’t like the fact, that Senator Kerry was weak and only wanted to use military force only approved by the United Nations. Kerry was a war protestor and blamed our military, so that why he wanted to weaken the military by shut down some of the national security. But George W. Bush doesn’t want that to happen and either does Zell Miller that’s also why Zell Miller is on his side on the strength military instead going with Kerry.

This article was originally written by an Associated Press reporter out of Washington D.C. Titled “Ike must face GOP pressure”, this article was not meant to praise and polish the reputation of Eisenhower. The article talks about the issues Eisenhower was facing within his own party. In a news conference held previous to this article being written, the president said he did not intend to use his presidency to help benefit partisan elections. Republican Senator Mundt from South Dakota agreed with the idea that the president was trying to “make a record we can brag about”.

“In my opinion, they had come to the conclusion that Lincoln was the problem and as long as lincoln remained in the presidency this war would continue through,” says historian and author Edward

My Lai Massacre: A Once Hidden Tragedy The American people do not like to be left in the dark when it comes to important information about their country. They expect that any problems or actions that their country takes should not be kept secret. Keeping secrets is exactly what their country did when the My Lai Massacre transpired. The My Lai Massacre occurred during the United State’s involvement in the Vietnam War. This devastating massacre was part of the reason the Vietnam War was so controversial.

During World War I, United States President Woodrow Wilson had devised a standard concerning how involved the US would be in World War I, and even how the winning side would create peace, after their reluctant involvement. However, his ideals differed drastically from the harsh realities that followed. At the beginning of the war, Wilson announces the United States’ stance to remain neutral. In doing this, he believed that he had been acting upon ethical grounds, citing that the war would be fought not by the people choosing a side, but rather those who cannot choose. But after constant pressures from the two sides, Wilson chose to side with the Allied Powers.

Each side in this sometimes called “Proxy war” have different views on who are the terrorists. The United States recognises the Kurds as allies while Russia believes to see them as terrorists. With each side looking to strengthen the positions of whichever side they are supporting, the end of this war does not seem to be anytime soon for the country of Syria (Document

Thoreau strongly opposes slavery and the Mexican American war due to his strong moral values. These values enable Thoreau to put others suffering before his, which results in him not paying his taxes which were going to be used to support slavery and the Mexican American war. In the essay, “Civil Disobedience”, Thoreau openly opposes the Mexican American war, proclaiming that it is an evil that is promoting “manifest destiny”, in order to obtain more land. “Witness the present Mexican war, the work of comparatively a few individuals using the standing government as their tool; for, in the outset, the people would not have consented to this measure." (Henry David Thoreau in Civil

But that doesn’t mean we should have open borders because that not only will make already residing Americans feel not secure, but it is an open door to anyone.

Obama on the other hand, focuses on why it isn’t a good idea, and explains the effects it may have, and why overall it isn’t the best thing for our country. Imperializing can lead to unnecessary wars, which could have been avoided; something Beveridge didn’t even consider since he has different goals of what the outcomes of imperializing should be than the realistic results that could actually occur due to his strong

With the privilege of having troops at their disposal and a goal of liberation, Cheney and Rumsfeld along with the whole Bush Administration had the world in the palm of their hand. These modern semiwarriors are no longer content in intervening to keep the enemy at bay, but to promptly

Washington’s alarm and disapproval was so great that the events of Shay’s Rebellion convinced him to come out of retirement. Other elite figures saw Shay’s Rebellion in a similar light to Washington’s opinion. They saw it as a call for a stronger central government. Thomas Jefferson was one of the few elite figures who did not object to Shay’s Rebellion saying “I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing.” Overall, Washington and other elite figures did not support Shay’s Rebellion.

In McMaster’s words, the battle was, “was lost in Washington, D.C., even before Americans assumed sole responsibility for the fighting in 1965 and before they realized the country was at war; indeed, even before the first American units were deployed.” One of the reasons McMaster decided to study the Vietnam war is because he wanted to learn from the other commander’s mistakes. He did not wish to re-due a poorly strategized war such as Vietnam. He wanted to lead his troop’s confidently, using good and effective war plans that would result in America winning wars--instead of losing them drastically.

The main purpose of the act was to have the president and congress approach war efforts with “collective judgement,” yet the act itself seems to allow the president to bypass congress just as how presidents Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon did in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The act was supposed to correct the errors of such wars, but it really does not address the issue of powers between the executive and legislative branches effectively. In essence the president can declare war in the emergency when the United States is under attack, such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York and the Pentagon however, he is restricted from actually enacting war, meaning he can only say that there will be war, but he cannot start organizing and sending troops to hostile countries without the formal consent of congress. Therefore, the war powers act attempts to decrease the president’s power to enact war, but it violates the constitution and bypasses congressional authorization for war by permitting the president to send troops to hostile countries for 90
