The Importance of Oil In U. S. Foreign Policy
During the oil and energy crisis of the mid- 1970
s Americans became painfully aware of the
consequences of the United States dependence on
foreign sources of oil. Unfortunately, research
and exploration for alternative sources of oil in
North America has not been pursued vigorously
enough to cease such foreign dependence. As a
result, in the mid- 1990 s Americans find
themselves in the same precarious position as they
were during the 1970 s. The Per...

George W Bush Saddam Hussein

This essay is in defense of the current Iraqi War.
President Bush's vocal critics state that over 1,
400 American troops have been sacrificed in the
Iraq War. First of all, the word sacrifice means
that a person voluntarily does or gives up
something at his or her own free will (like a bunt
to advance a runner in baseball or Catholics
sacrificing and giving up chocolate for Lent). I
dont believe that any of those soldiers that have
been killed in the war deliberately intended to
die or were sacr...

1. How did the American defeat in Vietnam affect
the Gulf War? The American defeat in the Vietnam
War was crucial to the strategy and thinking
behind the Gulf War. Because war in Vietnam was
contained and not broadened, the net cost was
high. Also because of the fact that decisive
strikes against Vietnam were not really used it
further put us away from the chances of winning.
In the Gulf War, however, we systematically
focused our attention on decisive targets. By
taking care of Iraq's resources...

Iraq. It was during this Gulf War, that another
event took place that by his own admittance soured
Osama Bin Laden towards the Americans. This was
when he offered his military support to the war,
but was turned down by his own country, in favor
of American troops entering his homeland. This was
seen as a betrayal, and it is more likely that it
was the insult, rather that a belief in American
occupation of is country that brought about this

Issues Surrounding Huessin And The Iraq Invasion
563 words
It is believed that Huessin hoped to gain complete
control of Kuwait and make millions of dollars
controlling the market price of oil without the
rest of the world getting involved (Desert Storm).
This invasion led to United Nations, United States
and many other countries military involvement and
ultimately sanctions that would cost Iraq billions
of dollars. Hussein's actions caused Iraq to be
put into a situation that limited their only
money-producing export, oil. Oil has been the only

arose during the sixties were not small; when they

The term "hurricane" is a name given to violent

subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean,

Saddam Hussein Saudi Arabia

We can see that Iraq s claim on Kuwait was not a
sudden incident. There had been a history of
demands and combat throughout the twentieth
century. The culmination of all this was Iraq s
invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. The United
Nations immediately issued Resolution 660
demanding an immediate withdrawal from Kuwait.
Next came Resolution 661 on August 6, 1990, which
called for economic sanctions against Iraq. Also
the United Nations issued Resolution 662 which

One Of The 10 Gulf Of Mexico Problem
342 words
This article is about a problem with the chemistry
in a large area of the Gulf of Mexico. Basically,
the problem is that every spring oxygen levels in
the deepest parts of the water become so depleted
that most local wildlife is suffocated or flees.
This part of the Gulf of Mexico is called the
hypoxic zone (obviously meaning low oxygen zone).
The cause of the problem is the Mississippi River,
which deposits 580 cubic kilometers of water to
the Gulf every year. Not only is the Mississippi
