Week 8 Discussion: Brave New World
Option 1: Why wasn't the U.S. and its vastly superior intelligence and military
able to stop these attacks? How effective are current measures in dealing with attack
prevention? Have we really learned from past mistakes?
Option 2: What new problems did the Iraqi War cause for the U.S. and its allies
around the world? What effects has it had on the U.S. economy?
Option 3: How much more difficult is it to battle an idea or faith, even a violent
one, skewed and brutal than to defeat a nation in war like the U.S. and its allies did
during World War II? Consider the role technology plays in the dissemination of faith.
Option 4: Compare European imperialism to current globalism. How has each
changed society, both in industrialized nations and developing nations? Is the claim
that globalism is a form of imperialism valid?
Option 5: Where do we go from here? Who will the best friends and the worst
enemies of the United States be in the coming decades? Will we really, finally achieve
that peace and prosperity we all hoped would come to pass?

The Iraq War began with the invasion and attempted occupation of Iraq in April of
2003 by the United States under President Bush (Duiker, 2015). He was
prepared to invade without support from the U.N. Security Council as well as
without support from allies like Germany, France, and Russia. President Bush
believed that the invading forces would be looked at as liberators, as well as
claiming that Saddam Hussein's regime played a role in the September 11 attack
on the Twin Towers. Unfortunately, the U.S. had no plan as to how to handle a
new Iraq, to which the United Nations agreed to step in and aid in the new
elections. Eventually, the U.S. forces left Iraq by 2011, however there are still
lasting repercussions in Iraq and the U.S. today as a result of the war (Browers &
Sanders, 2014). Most U.S. citizens state that the war should have been avoided,
and many call former President G.W. Bush a war criminal in some aspects. Great
Britain was the only supporter of the U.S. invading Iraq, and otherwise they
frankly did not have many supporters for starting the war. The cost of the war
ended up to be approximately $1.06 trillion which was added to the country's
debt. Those who were greatly affected by economic costs are families who had
service members deployed during the war. Due to greater medical technology,
thankfully many soldiers are able to survive injuries and are able to return home;
however, this means higher medical costs that are incurred on the families, as
well as problems with post-traumatic stress disorder (Amadeo, 2019).
