why does George Bush want to make peace in the middle east?

Question

Is he a hypocrit? Is he using Iraq? Is he making the U.S economy better or worse?
I need information for my college article about him.

Answer 1

The President (as was his dad) is a firm believer in the "new world order" or globalism. Statistics show that republics (there are no democracies that I know of) rarely go to war with each other. So the idea is to rid the Middle East, an area vital to every developed country in the world because the world economy runs on oil, of dictatorships. The resulting peace (as envisioned) would mean everyone would have access to the oil that is priced by the free market benefiting the whole world. Unfortunately, the studies only looked at developed republics. New, unprepared republics are apparently more likely to go to war or to hold the world hostage then even dictatorships.

If this is a college research effort, I strongly recommend that you do not rely on undocumented statements (such as my own) and actually do the research. One source your library may have that is good is the journal "Foreign Affairs" (www.foreignaffairs.org) by the Council on Foreign Relations (www.cfr.org). Use multiple sources so you can get a more complete picture and make your own opinions based on your research. The skills you develop doing this will benefit you through your whole life.

Answer 2

The Middle East has been unstable and in conflict since the first world war. When the Ottaman Empire (now TURKEY) lost control of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Britain and France took over.
Before the second world war Jewish people escaping from Germany tried to join other Jewish settlers in Palestine then part of Jordan. The British restricted them and send them back. After the war many Jewish survivors fled to Palestine.
By 1940 they owned 28% of the land.
The British again tried to restrict Jewish immigration. The Iraelis
formed underground groups and attacked the British who left as the United Nations divided up Palestine. 55% for the Israelis in the 1947 Partition Plan.
The Arab League disagreed and , Jordan, Syria Egypt, Lebanon, and Iraq attacked Israel who won.

The middle east peace process started then and has still not ended.

There have been numerous wars and terrorist attacks.

It partially suceeded in 1979 whem Egypt signed a peace treaty.

The President of Egypt was assassinated in 1981 by a group called Egyptian Islamic Jihad which opposed peace.

Members of which group Omar Abdel-Rahman and Ayman al-Zawahiri,organised the first and second Attacks on the Twin Towers in 1993 and 9/11 2001. Ayman al-Zawahiri nominally the Al Qaeda,number two is probably the brains behind Osama bin Laden

In 1994 & 1996 Jordan signed peace treaties with Isreal

Twice Yasser Arafat came to the US to make peace but failed to reach an agreement.

Syria saudia Arabia and Iraq were against peace.

Hamas started a wave of suicide bombings to block progress to peace.

SO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
George Bush would like to achieve peace in the middle but the Israelis and Hamas the elected Goverment can't reach an argeement and Hamas is probably not prepared to accept Israel's right to exist.

Syria is happier being a country that is important to making peace than an irrelevant country that made peace, and threatens the stability of Lebanon Iraq and Israel.

In Iraq Bush took the decision to invade and remove Saddam Hussein the US has 140.000 troops supporting a national goverment in the middle of an anti-US insurgency and religious and ethnic based conflict the outlook for peace is remote.
Iraq's other neighbor Iran which aids and/or controls groups in Iraq is also interested in keeping the US bogged down in Iraq, perhaps while it builds nuclear weapons.

The question is will the people who want war block moves to peace,?

As for economics in an uncertain world Bush Presidency has just about achieved consensus that the Reagan idea of tax cuts to produce increased tax revenue works.

The juggernaut of globalisation rumbles on out of any Presidents power to control so if the economy goes wrong in the future they can blame him. The art of politics.

So if your readers/lecturers want to hear it you can blame it all on Bush or else it's a complicated world and he's doing what he has to.

Answer 3

Bush is a douche bag, end of story. Were in the Middle East to control how much oil Europe and China get. He doesn't want to make peace, if he did he never would have invaded Iraq. It's nothing but a ruse that the American pulbic bought hook. line and sinker. Read the book Imperial Ambitions by Noam Chomsky.

Answer 4

No. The Hells Angels are properly-known for being a bike gang / club. no longer drug sellers. surely, the Hells Angels have participated in such fairly some humantitarian initiatives i could not even initiate to call all of them. yet do a short search for and also you'd be shocked i'm no longer a member and that i do not comprehend any contributors, btw. and there is not any apostrophe in Hells Angels. i'm no longer a George Bush supporter although I do imagine that accomplishing for peace is substantial. Why won't be able to we attempt to make issues extra useful? Why won't be able to we are hoping and help grown up human beings attempt to come back to compromise. we'd want to continually be hoping and praying that issues workout consultation properly. no longer spreading negativity. i comprehend you attempt to be humorous with the placed up, yet i don't think of that's humorous to be negative about human beings attempting to achieve for peace

Answer 5

Our economy is stronger now than it ever was throughout the entire Bill Clinton presidency. No he went into Iraq with good intentions. Don’t forget our congress declared war with Iraq (that is one of congresses powers), and many democrats backed Bush on the war. The thing is Iraq has just gotten all messed up, and we need a new strategy there to win. About he being a hypocrite I couldn't answer.

Are these questions your professor is asking you to answer? If so you might want to angle your paper against Bush because it sounds like you have a nutty professor who believes in his or her agenda and pushing it on his or her students.

Answer 6

The main goal is not peace but hegemony in the region.
Not a hypocrite. Yes, he's using Iraq. We want a certain amount of stability and a certain amount of chaos in order to keep our interests and our allies' interests secure.
As for the economy, he has less control over it directly than many people think. It is just the way our economy is set up currently.

Answer 7

Any president should want peace in the Middle East. That area directly affects us economically and possesses many national security issues as well. A democracy in that area would help our security, as well as hopefully spread the idea of democracy to its neighboring countries. Its a fact that Democracies hardly every have war with each other. That'd be a good thing, right?

Answer 8

Underneath it all he probably does. But he is incapable of brokering any peace deals with anyone in the Middle East because, sorry to say, he does not have the capability.
He is a Lame Duck. No matter what he does henceforth, he will remain a Lame Duck until the end of his term.

Answer 9

Well, you can see how much peace he's helped bring to Iraq. He fancies himself as being a "nation-builder" but it looks more like he's a civilization destroyer. He's a kill-crazy warmonger who should be removed from office immediately for crimes against humanity. Every innocent who dies in Iraq is just more blood on his hands. Good Luck with the paper!

Answer 10

peace in the MIddle East is the very last thing he wishes to make! He prefers war for oil, war for revenge, war for the hell of it
