What countries is the US in conflict with?
The US is in no conflicts with any nation; there are political disagreements going on with several countries, but that's politics, and perfectly normal. The hunting down of criminals (terrorists) in Afghanistan and Iraq; as well as the assisting in bringing law, order, and stability to Iraq is simply a law enforcement function; and is not a conflict with the host nation of Iraq, nor Afghanistan. The US is possibly having some rough diplomatic times (politics again) with some of the old "cold war" countries (Russia, China, N. Korea, etc.), but that's better than having the cold war back.
I seriously hope you are kidding, but that is a huge NO!!
Iran has not threatened war in 300 years and Ahmadinejad is not a Holocaust denier nor does he want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth .. Read the transcripts of his speeches if you don't believe me ... Why would Iran want to be allied to a country that sponsors terrorism on its own people like they did on 911? The USA should stop acting like a Global bully !!
Don't listen to that guy he's just terrorist sympathizer but no.
What is the US role in the Sunni and Shiite Conflict?
No. The Sunni-Shiite Divide occurred in the 600s C.E., over 800 years before Colombus even discovered America.
There are Muslims that claim that the United States is taking activities designed to keep the Sunnis and Shiites from reconciling, but even if it were true, this would not make the United States in anyway responsible for the original split and the majority of Sunni-Shiite animosity and grievances. This is false, though, since Sunni and Shiite Muslims have actually been brought together politically by the United States both domestically and in Iraqi politics. The United States has never supported a country or an army because it is Sunni or Shiite and even its detractors have noted that the United States supported Shiite Iran (under the Shah), Sunni Iraq (under Saddam Hussein), Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, and Israel all for primarily strategic reasons.

What was SALT in Foreign Policy?
Strategic Arms Limitation Talks
Negotiations between the U.S. and the Soviet Union aimed at curtailing the manufacture of strategic nuclear missiles. The first round of negotiations began in 1969 and resulted in a treaty regulating antiballistic missiles and freezing the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles. It was signed by Leonid Brezhnev and Richard Nixon in 1972. A second round of talks (1972 - 79), known as SALT II, addressed the asymmetry between the two sides' strategic forces and ended with an agreement to limit strategic launchers (see MIRV). Signed by Brezhnev and Jimmy Carter, it was never formally ratified by the U.S. Senate, though its terms were observed by both sides. Subsequent negotiations took the name Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START). See also intermediate-range nuclear weapons; Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty. Yeah and Obama Rocks

An agreement between the u.s and japan that limited immigration from japan but protected Japanese in America
The title is vague but polite= sealed with a handshake- one imagines. It most often refers to a somewhat controversial motion picture starring Gregory Peck and dealing with a rather impolite subject- Anti-Semitism in the United States- not Nazi Germany or Dreyfuss-era France but in the US. It was, as one imagines a rather controversial theme for a film and not for kids. There were some similar dramas dealing with social-religious themes such as Hand in Hand- a sort of juvenile version of the above- dumbed down and with a very inconclusive ending.- and there was one about the Jehovah"s Witnesses and the controversy surrounding their stance against Blood transfusions Cross-Feed valve- closed!. there you have it. a rather scant film genre religious social problems dramas.

Is US planning to attack Iran?
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Bush administration has been carrying out secret reconnaissance missions to learn about nuclear, chemical and missile sites in Iran in preparation for possible airstrikes there, journalist Seymour Hersh said Sunday. The effort has been under way at least since last summer, Hersh said on CNN's "Late Edition." In an interview on the same program, White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett said the story was "riddled with inaccuracies."
Has US policy spread terrorism than contain it?
Many people who have seriously studied the situation would say, 'YES'. There are many factors involved. First, the US is the world's largest supplier of armament - e.g. , guns, rockets, tanks, explosives, etc. We'll generally sell stuff to anyone who wants to buy it, and we did an AWFUL lot of that back in the day, especially if you came to us and said, 'Please give us guns to kill Commies with', like the Iraqis did, the Iranians did, the Afghans did, most south American dicatorships, most African dictatorships, and so on.
We've got our nose in a lot of other country's business. Many of the people of those countries don't appreciated that. Whether it's democracy vs communism, Christian vs Moslem, Moslem vs Jew, Hindu vs Moslem or whatever, we stick out noses in and tell everbody what to do. Much of the Islamic terrorist argument, whether valid or not in a religious sense, stems from the US military presence in countries with a strong Islamic faith. For example, the huge US military buildup in Saudi Arabia during and right after "Desert Storm" in the early 90s ticked a lot of Muslims off. It's kinda like, how would we like it if a bunch of Muslims guys came in and set up camp in the Vatican, or parked their camels in the aisles of the National Cathedral in Washington?
They also believe that we try to force Western things on them, like freedom, equal rights, education for girls, rap music, belly shirts, and Dancing With The Stars. This makes them very angry.
Whether or not you think they have any valid argument is beside the point - a bunch of really angry people, who we gave guns to, don't like us very much.
What was Teddy Roosevelt's attitude towards US foreign policy in Latin America?
Roosevelt's foreign policy was to increase the prestige and influence of the United States around the world and to make it a global power. One example that he included in the policy was the establishment of the Panama Canal.
Why does the US give Israel so much AID?
Answer 1
Ever since WWII the U.S. has made a special point of extending it's umbrella of protection to Israel with anyone and everyone being "on notice" that Israel will receive U.S. support up to and including intervention if necessary. Israel is also considered a U.S. "client state" But many sense that Israel acts on U.S. interests in many cases.
Some also believe that when Israel survival interests and U.S. policy coincide, things happen; Israeli bombing of nuclear construction in Syria, and in Iraq some time ago. Similarly, if UN and U.S. can't get Iran "on board" with nuclear nonproliferation policies, you can probably expect Israel to take out Iranian nuclear sites, alone or in concert with U.S.
Answer 2
The United States supports Israel, Egypt, and Palestine. The United States is also prepared to support and aide any Arab country (like Egypt) that is willing to trade violence and antagonism for peace.
The United States support for the State of Israel is the strongest of the three comes from a variety of sources. Israel has cooperated with the United States on diplomatic issues, military and intelligence exchanges, large amounts of trade, and significant technological investment. In addition there a numerous Americans who support the State of Israel because of religious convictions on top of the already-listed reasons.
Israel and the United States started on friendly terms with the United States approving the 1947 Partition Plan. However, until the Six-Day War of 1967, the United States did not see Israel as a country that would exist in the long-term because of Arab belligerence against the State. After Israel's stunning victory in that war, the United States became Israel's primary Western Ally and began to trade technologies, both civilian and military, with Israel. The United States government, therefore takes a pro-Israel stance in international politics and is often seen as Israel's backer. As a result, the United States opinion on the conflict is often harsher on Palestinian Terrorism than the Israeli Occupation.

What did Clinton achieve in the foreign policy?
For Clinton, foreign policy was a mixed bag. He sent troops into Mogadishu, Somalia, in 1993 in an attempt to capture a local warlord. That operation included the "Blackhawk Down"* incident and was a miserable failure and embarrassment to the U.S. In 1994, he sent troops into Haiti to prop up the administration of duly elected Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Clinton also twice sent U.S. troops into the former Yugoslavia to stop the "ethnic cleansing" perpetrated by the Serbs against local Muslims. Charges of war crimes were later pursued. But perhaps his biggest gaffe was, because of Somalia, he, and other First World nations, declined to send troops into Rwanda to stop the genocide there in 1994. More than 1 million Tutsis and Hutus were slain in internecine fighting in about three months. Also in 1994, Clinton negotiated the Nuclear Accords with North Korea. At the time, North Korea agreed to give up aspirations of developing nuclear weapons in exchange for assistance with their energy needs. In Iraq, Clinton continued the economic sanctions put in place by George H.W. Bush, but were seen as largely ineffectual and contributed to the deaths of more than 100,000 people. Clinton also cultivated the notion that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction" (WMD) and was likely to deploy them or make them available to terrorists, organized crime, or drug traffickers.
How did U.S. foreign policy at the turn of the century affect actions taken by the US toward China?
While American policy did more than is perhaps generally, realized to preserve China from classic imperialism, it still fell short.
The foreign policy of the United States affected actions because it caused different interactions to take place between the United States and China.
America's basic foreign policy has been that America must defend its foreign interests related to trade and security. The main foreign policy position opposed to this is called isolationism.

What were the attempts of the Big Stick policy and Dollar Diplomacy?
The theory is that leaders strive for peace while also keeping other nations aware of its military power. Teddy Roosevelt said to 'walk softly but carry a big stick". It is something that the US still does today.
Did US President Obama support Israel?
Absolutely. Contrary to internet myths, the president has a strong relationship with Israel and has treated Israel as an important ally. Some Republicans, trying to get the Jewish vote, have claimed the president is anti-Israel, but there is no evidence to support this. There is, however, evidence that the current leader of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu dislikes President Obama and has aligned himself with conservative Republicans. Not everyone in Israel agrees with this, however. That said, it should also be noted that the president supports a two-state solution in the middle east and believes both countries (Israel and the future Palestinian state) should live side-by-side, in peace and security. This has also been the belief of several other US presidents, including President Clinton and President George W. Bush.
