[ send me this paper ]

According to Avi Shlaim's "War and Peace in the Middle East: A Concise History," ignorance of human rights and a tendency toward political oppression were the consequences of the post-war settlement of 1918-1922, clearly reflecting the consequential elements of imperialism for American policy in the Middle East. At the turn of the twentieth century, the United States was on the verge of becoming one of the world's most important imperial powers.

Barry M. Goldwater
[ send me this paper ]
( 9 pp.) What makes a conservative? Parents? Upbringing? Past experiences, Or the ability to put all of those things together, be aware of history, and come to some personal conclusions? In the case of Arizona Senator and basic maverick, Barry M. Goldwater (1909 - 1998), we would have to say all of the above. In his personal and political memoirs, With No Apologies, published in 1979, Mr. Goldwater observed that his run for the presidency in 1964"was like trying to stand up in a hammock." He said he knew that his chances of winning were slim and contended, that his fellow Republicans cost him any chance he might have had during the battle for the Republican nomination. And in our description above did we mention, Goldwater as a facilitator of tact? Bibliography lists 7 sources - 1 visual. BBgldwtr.doc
