History Final

By the mid-20th century and after the civil war, the U. S. had become a dominating force in the international relations. Some people argued that U. S. military functions as a world's police. This assignment will cover the past five year’s events that this shift occurred as well as the consequences that the U. s. Face as an outcome of its status as the policemen of the world.

The United States foreign policy changed after 11th September 2001, and in January 2001, the president George Bush assumed his power as well as initiated a foreign policy through the name missile shield which scored some Europe parts. The missile shield of Bush was developed to counter intercontinental missile from Iran. It was more signature initiative concerning both the missile defense and the Central Europe. He changed the America foreign policy direction with War on Terror speech before the joint session with the Congress. He stated that U. S. is supposed to direct the resources available with diplomacy, intelligence as well as the enforcement of laws needed to deal with each war. Bush also stated that they were required to defeat the terror networking worldwide. George Bush made the remarkable speech that the people needed to pursue the nations which offer support, as well as aid terrorism, will be remembered (Robertson, 2015). Therefore, this solidified the United States as the world police, and it pressured the world region to decide to stand together either with the United States or the terrorist.

The United State foreign policy change is noticed most of that it does not request prevention from having to take military action though uses it to defend their interests. President George Bush introduced this doctrine. The international level of terrorism brought considerable changes in the United State Military powers as the world police worldwide. It justified the actions of the foreign military as required to strengthen the nation through placing emphasis on terrorism. In the year 2003 when the United States invaded Iraq, it broadened its policy that involved the preventive strategies. The president Bush administration was concerned about weapons of mass destruction which Saddam Hussein had as well as was close to using them (Schmitt, 2014). This was a reason to attack Iraq as well as have the United State Military take action again as the world police in the perception without evidence.

The United State humanitarian assistance was subjected to foreign policy demand as well as in several cases; it needed military action compared to others. The operation of some military humanitarian was leveraged because of the military service in Iraq. The National Guard would not help or even offer protection to International Red Cross within Iraq. Due to inadequate security, approximately 8 million people needed immediate help resulting in Iraq Humanitarian crisis. Among the 8 million people, 4 million people were in need of food and the other 4 million people were reported to be displaced. The United States policies which are related to stopping terrorism made it possible for the military to help (Slomanson, 2016).

The other instance whereby the United State Military acted as the world police during the war on drugs and the Panama Canal protection. The U. S. invaded Panama to attempt to overthrow Manuel Noriega, the military dictator who was indicated in U. S. on drug trafficking charges, was accused of endangering the United States nationals as well as suppressing democracy in Panama. The United State Military acted as the world police as well as quickly defeated the Panamanian Military of Noriega and after that shortly forced him to surrender (Haupt, 2015). The United State foreign policy allows international policing matters were conceiving it not only the police matter but as the element of the system.

The United States role worldwide dominates the liberty of people, cultural freedom and the history where it directs. The United State has attempted to spread its ideologies globally as well as showing the ultimate supremacy of its political views as well as democracy. The United State Military use is necessary for many occasions and may be debated in others which do not serve the interests of the United States (Schmitt, 2014).
