Foreign Policy

We are in the process of assisting Afghanistan in the formation of a democratic government. We have a significant number of military personnel in Afghanistan to provide security for the process. In the last few months we have invaded Iraq and removed Saddam Hussein from power. The armed conflict is in its final stages and we are in the process of assisting the Iraqis in the formation of a democratic government. We have more than 125,000 troops occupying Iraq at this time. This is not the first time American forces have visited Iraq. In 1991 the United States led coalition forces from the United Nations into Kuwait to liberate Kuwait after it was invaded by Saddam Hussein and Iraq. American military has been present in Iraq since that time, as we have enforced a ban on Iraqi military flights over Iraq's Kurdish lands in northern Iraq and the Shiite region in southern Iraq. Within the past decade we have sent American military personnel to Somalia to protect United Nations" troops conducting a humanitarian operation to relieve the famine resulting from the civil war in that Country. Within the past decade we have sent American military personnel to Haiti as part of a United Nations force after that County's democratic government was overthrown by its military. Within the past decade we have sent American military forces, as part of a United Nations" peacekeeping mission, to the former Yugoslavia. Within the past few weeks the United States has diplomatically confronted North Korea after North Korea admitted that it has nuclear capabilities and has no intentions of disbanding the same. The entire world awaits the outcome of this saga. Within the past few days the United States has accused Syria of harboring fugitives from Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime and has warned the Syrian government of the possible consequences. .
             The title of this paper poses two questions. The first, "American Foreign Policy: Where are we today?" is easily answered by watching the evening news.
