How has American foreign policy changed due to America's entry into the Vietnam War?

Answer 1

America has no 'foreign policy', you see, there is no such a thing as ‘American’ nationality, America is not a nation America is a continent with many nations in it. The US never named itself the name of the United States is a designation it comes from the end of the Declaration of Independence, "WE, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS, Assembled...". The preamble to the U.S. Constitution reiterated the phrase: "We the People of the United States..." (The authors of these two documents probably used the phrase "united states" in place of a list of colonies/states because they remained uncertain at the time of drafting which colonies/states would sign off on the sentiments therein.) The geographic term "America" specifies the states' home on the American continent.

It is therefor incorrect to refer to US citizens as Americans with the intent of denoting citizenship, or the United States as America with the intent of denoting a nation. Americans have a term for US citizens, we are called United Statesians by the rest of Americans, to say American with the intent of denoting citizenship or America when we mean the United States reflects poorly on our attitude towards the 70% of Americans that are not United Statesians.

Also, although some people would like to believe that America is not one but two continents North America and South America. If you think about it though the term U.S. of A. is a glaring example that this line of thought is incorrect, if America was two continents instead of one, shouldn’t it be U.S. of N.A. (North America)? We say Columbus discovered..... ? AMERICA, not South America or North America.

That said, it is likely that you mean United Statesian foreign policy, the answer is not much. It is basically aimed at protecting United Statesian economic interests all over the world.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

NOT MUCH.....ONE SIDES WANTS TO GO OUT AND GET THE BAD GUYS.........ONE SIDE WANTS TO LAY UP AT HOME.
ONE SIDE WANTS TO THROW MONEY AT THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER WANTS TO ACTUALLY HELP FOLKS OUT WHO HAVE BEEN TORTURED, OPPRESSED, AND MURDERED EITHER BY A DESPOT OR IN THE NAME OF GOD. REAL SIMPLE REALLY. ITS ALL POLITICS ALL THE TIME. THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO SPREAD DEMOCRACY ON THE NOTION THAT FREE PEOPLE WORRY MORE ABOUT MAKING LOVE THEN MAKING WAR ON THEIR NEIGHBORS. THE LEFTS PHILOSOPHY IS THAT GOVERNMENT KNOWS BETTER THEN YOU ABOUT HOW TO RUN YOUR LIFE. ARE WE OUR BROTHERS KEEPER? IF WE ARE, THEN UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED THAT A DESPOT LIKE SADDAM MURDERS HIS OWN PEOPLE AT A RECORD RATE. WE HAVE BEEN ROUNDLY CRITICIZED FOR NOT INTERVENING IN OTHER TROUBLE SPOTS AROUND THE WORLD. BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN MANY DEMS WANTING TO JUMP ON THAT BANDWAGON IN RECENT YEARS. IF THEY REALLY GAVE A DAMN, FOLKS WOULD HAVE A LOT MORE RESPECT FOR THEM.
