As the results of the attacks of the World Trade Center were taken place, military and foreign policy may have been viewed quite differently from before. A result to this was Bush’s immediate answer of going into war. During his presidency he forced to make a decision, he chose to enter in to war. Along with this declaration of war which congress did not actually do, it was the president who declared war. The power to declare war from congress has slowly deteriorated due to the increase influence and power the president has. Anyway, foreign and military policy has been shaping for the past 2 terms Bush has been in office. As his presidency starts to wind down, people begin to see our foreign and military policy as a weakening strength of the U.S. As more and more troops die in Iraq and Afghanistan many people’s view of the war has gone down. People are beginning to want a change with the policy. Due to the increase of price on oil, gas prices has sky rocketed as a result of the war.
My stance on all of this is that we need to fix our foreign and military policy yes. And that starts off with sending our troops home. Our veterans need there rest, they have been working tirelessly. I know some may disagree with me but in order to improve our foreign and military policy we need to strengthen first our domestic policy. We need to organize and fix the problems here before we go trying to police the world by bring democracy to the world. As an Obama supporter, we need to have trust in that Iraq will continue to do well without us breathing down there necks. They will bring democracy by letting them establish it on their own. Though in the increase of patriotism here at our nation, we need to be able to let other countries become more independent, without our help constantly. The power of the president has increased for the past years; I believe congress should begin to take more action in the foreign and military policy.
Other ways our society has changed due to the focus of the war in our nation is the amount of hate against terrorism. People are in constant fear now. With the “random” screening tests in airports, security has toughened. In my opinion, America is only working on fear itself. We are in constant fear of something to happen so we always have be the first one to strike so we don’t get the surprise.
As our nation needs an improvement on foreign policy so does the president change within the next year. With the end of the primary season, we have two presidential candidates hoping to better our foreign and military policy from both ends of the spectrum. We can only sit and wait as we vote on the next president in hopes in reducing the fear, the gas prices, and warlike activity. Here is a political cartoon I found online that I found it quite important.
