What was the Bush Doctrine? How did it influence U.S. foreign policy in Iraq? How did the American public react to the way Iraq was handled?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Describe the Bush Doctrine as a policy pursued after September 11, 2001, that emphasized an aggressive posture toward nations providing safe haven for terrorists, preemptive action before terrorist activities had occurred, and a willingness to unilaterally launch military actions.
2, Discuss how President Bush launched a war against Iraq based on intelligence suggesting Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, claiming that preemptive action was necessary before Iraq used those weapons on the United States.
3, Reveal how the initial invasion was fairly acceptable to Americans, but the fact that no WMDs were found and the length of the rebuilding process, which resulted in far more American casualties than the initial invasion did, made the American public question Bush's handling of the war.
