The New "Manifest Destiny"? Resources - 'Con' (Against)
During the Cold War (1945-1992) the United States and the Soviet Union became involved in trying to influence different areas of the world. For the United States, the Vietnam War (1954-1975) was a VERY controversial war. Many people began to question if we could or should be the "policeman of the world". Click "refresh" to listen to the song again and then do a "Google" search on the "Vietnam War". Others later argued that maybe it was the wrong war at the wrong time, but, we should never ever allow another Holocaust (1939-1945 World War II ) to occur anywhere in the world.
In recent history, genocides on a smaller scale have occurred in Africa, Asia, & Bosnia. Should the U.S. "support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world." ? What kind of support should we provide? Moral? Military? Economic? Do you agree or disagree with President Bush? Open a blank Word document and
