US Foreign Policy

The United States provides many forms of AID including: provisioning of food and water, provisioning of money, provisioning of shelters, providing disease treatment expertise, providing mechanical or construction expertise, providing military support or equipment, diplomatic support for international agreements, and numerous other forms of useful expertise.

Washington first foreign policy was issued in 1793. It was called the Neutrality Proclamtaion. He would not take part in the French and British War. However, this was short-lived because many Americans wanted to go to war and Britain started to seize our trade-ships in an effort to make America join the war

George F. Kennan, a career Foreign Service Officer, formulated the policy of “containment,” the basic United States strategy for fighting the cold war (1947–1989) with the Soviet Union.

Both Wanted a bigger role for American businesses in the world.

The policy of Fordism affect workers because they gained higher wages and could buy more goods.

Politicians could no longer declare total war anymore. They had to manuever their politics around the new "limited wars", such as Korea and Vietnam. Wars have been declared or fought by statesmen (politicians) for OVER 2,000 years! Commencing in 1945...no more. Atomic Weapons negate that.

The Iran-Contra Affair involved three nations: (1) the United States, (2) Iran, and (3) Nicaragua. It was a secret arrangement led by US President Ronald Reagan to sell US weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988 and use the profits from those sales to fund the Anti-Communist Contra Rebels in Nicaragua. In this way, Reagan was "officially" keeping his hands clean of the death and destruction in Nicaragua.

The policy of containment, developed by George F. Kennan of the State Department, was adopted by the Truman administration. The policy would allow communism where it already existed, but would use all force necessary to prevent any further expansion. In other words, communism would be "contained" where it presently existed. Because of Russian expansion to the west, a policy carried on by the Soviets, it would be impossible to come to a quick settlement with Stalin, following the Second World War. Since the Russians would test the US by a cautious expansion and not start a major war, Truman developed the Truman Doctrine, with the aid of George Kennan. This Doctrine provided military and financial aid to all the nations that agreed to resist any attempt by Russia to take them over. It was first applied in Greece and Turkey.

the president and his chief advisers are the principal architects of U.S. foreign Policy.

Under the direction and support of the US President,there are actually more than four goals of American foreign policy. The following covers the key elements. 1) National Security: protection of of a nation's borders and territories against invasion or control by foreign powers. Also helps determine how the US deals with other nations. Inter action with the US Department of Defense is required. 2) Free and Open Trade:Maintaining trade with other nations and preserving access to necessary Natural Resources have been basic goals of US foreign policy Interaction with the US Commerce Department is vital to this task. This is an absolute necessity for the US. 3) World Peace: American leaders work for world peace because they believe it helps the nation avoid outside conflicts and aids national security. The US tries to help other nations settle disputes and has also supplied economic aid to at-risk countries, in part to prevent uprising and revolutions unless such activities aid the US. 4)Democratic Governments: The US aids democratic nations and helps others create democratic political systems. With US help, many formerly Communist nations in Europe began to form democratic political systems in the 1990's. 5) Concern for Humanity: Victims of natural disasters or starvation have looked to the US for help. In such times of crisis, the US has responded by providing food, medial supplies, and technology assistance for humanitarian reasons. At the same time, this aid serves the strategic interests of the US by maintaining political stability in the world.

Nationalism is generally defined as patriotic feelings of devotion to one's own country. This can impact foreign policy by leading it to favor the best or selfish interests of the country creating it.

Vietnam suffered due to US action in supporting South Vietnam in the Second Indochinese War (called the Vietnam War in the USA and called the American War in Vietnam). The Second Indochinese War cost over 2 million Vietnamese lives, destroyed the Vietnamese economy and was an extension of the First Indochina War in the eyes of the Vietnamese. There wee numerous US soldiers who massacred Vietnamese civilians. Additionally, during the Second Indochinese War the United States used numerous defoliants (products to kill plants) in order to more effectively move through the dense Vietnamese jungles. A number of these defoliants (especially Agent Orange) caused mutations and diseases in both Vietnamese civilians, soldiers and US servicemen. A number of US servicemen have successfully sued for compensation for their injuries, but there have never been any reparations paid to Vietnam for this injustice. Further the isolation that Vietnam received from its previous Communist benefactors after the war combined with the isolation that US gave to Communist Vietnam to promote economic problems. However, Vietnam and the United States were able to have a rapprochement in the 1990s and Vietnam is increasingly looking to the United States to help preserve its independence from China.

Partially it is due to religious views in Iran. In their view the American lifestyle goes against Islamic law, thus making us sinful. Additionally, the U.S. is allied with Israel a primarily Jewish-controlled country that was set up largely in place of the mostly Islamic-controlled Palestine. Iran and other Islamic nations resent the U.S. support of Jewish control over what Christians Jews, and Muslims alike regard as the Holy Land. However, part of it has to do with the direct relation in history history of the U.S. with Iran. In 1953 a joint operation of U.S. and British intelligence agencies, headed by Kermit Roosevelt of the CIA, incited a coup that overthrew the popular and democratically elected Mohammad Mosaddegh after he declared plans to nationalize oil fields owned by British oil companies. In his place they installed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, popularly known as the Shah. He was a brutal dictator and his rule was supported by the U.S. until his overthrow in 1979. After his overthrow he was taken into the U.S. for medical treatment, which sparked much resentment among the Iranians, and some in Iran feared the U.S. would try to reinstall him. This history has brought about a strong dislike and distrust for the U.S. in that country.
Because we tell jokes

Students of political science become aware that in the sphere of government policies are often related to positions of power. When Abraham Lincoln was serving in the House of Representatives he shared the same view on presidential control on US foreign policy and troop deployment as did Representative Richard Nixon in 1951. Both believed that the president was exceeding his authority concerning the deployment of troops as it related to foreign policy. Then the presidents were Polk, and later, Truman.When their positions of power dramatically changed, they held the opposite view. That change occurred when both Lincoln and Nixon became US presidents.

So often politics is seen through the scope of personality rather than that of public policy and the rule of law.
