Millenium policies?
The war in Iraq. Or is it the war on terror? Is the national debt subject to funding both the sources of military interventions?
The Patriot Act's policies have only shaken American confidence in its own government, though previous presidents have also limited civil liberties. Two abuses of executive control include Japanese-Americans during World War Two (1942-1944), under President Roosevelt and the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, under John Adams. Of course, the Patriot Act has different implications on America's future than shameless racism or a young government's attempt to block invasion from oppresive royalty. The threat is terrorism, which isn't as distinguishable as race or nationality.
But "terrorism" is associated with Islam, the one unifying feature of Kurds, Shiites, and Sunni Iraqis. The United States has been unable to unite the three factions in order to stabalize a government independent of American presence. The US employs some Iraqis to work with the embassy as investigators and translators between local militia and American officials. These individuals risk every second of their lives with the vision of a peaceful future for Iraqi civilians. But the military is suspicious of the investigators, some are even volunteers, because they fear that the Iraqis are militia with disguised motives. In any case, more of the veteran investigators are being fired each month, and few Iraqis apply for the dangerous position. These investigators provide insight into local culture and are helpful resources for mediating relations between Iraqis and American troops.
The United States government ialso lacks confidence in the average American. As demonstrated by public opinion polls, the relationship is mutual, and Americans advocate a more defined timetable for leaving Iraq. And both the Senate and the House represented their constituents in voting for pulling troops from Iraq by 2008, but the President stands the stubborn course by both sacricificing soldiers and lacking effective plans to unite one Iraq from three differing disparate groups; groups that share a nation and the bitterness of ineffective American policies.
