From The New World Order to 911

Following the end of the Cold War, the direction of American foreign policy comes into question. The collapse of the Soviet Union forces a new compass and foundation for the direction of the nation.

The Gulf War answers the question as to whether or not America will require a military presence in the future, but what the thesis of American policy is remains in flux.

Examine this period of time between the Gulf War and September 11. Where is America headed? Can you see the coming War on Terror? Where is the country going domestically?

Put together a short two page report on the questions raised above. Due Monday, June 8, 2009.
