cy and American Foreign Policy
In the last year or so, the presidential administration has increasingly made remarks to the press about how it is committed to supporting democracy. The President and his cabinet suggest that this desire is a bulwark of President Bush’s foreign policy. Such rhetoric is an American tradition that goes in and out of style, and, unfortunately, is rarely followed through with any significance or consistency.
With the clear lack of any weapons of mass destruction or credible prewar threat in Iraq, this logic has become a main post facto reason for American military occupation of Iraq. As the military presence in Iraq is increasingly being compared to the presence in Vietnam during the cold war, one might be wise to compare the rhetoric and reality of these two situations.
The desire for freedom around the world was ostensibly the reason for the fight against communism and American engagement in Vietnam. However, American military presence in the region predated the communist nature of the insurgents led by Ho Chi Minh. Back when these guerrillas were fighting for independence from French colonialism, the United States was giving increasing aid and military support to the colonialists. These actions slowly dragged America neck deep in Vietnam and, perhaps more importantly, so disillusioned Ho Chi Minh (once an admirer of Franklin Roosevelt) with American ideals that he increasingly turned to a socialist anti-imperialist critique of Vietnam’s situation.
The military presence in Iraq has also historically been linked with support for tyranny (
Indeed, the mentality that a town might have to be destroyed in order to save it seems to still be part of the military repetoire in places like Fallujah.

With the clear lack of any weapons of mass destruction or credible prewar threat in Iraq, this logic has become a main post facto reason for American military occupation of Iraq.
However, Iraqis are increasingly being disgusted with the American project in Iraq. While there are many reasons for this process, the main ones appear to be the following: the inability of the American forces to provide stability, the tens of thousands of civilian deaths caused by the invasion and occupation, and the brazen and widespread use of torture in Iraq that appears to have been condoned by Tom Ridge (in a recent speech), Donald Rumsfeld (according to documents acquired in Freedom of Information Act Requests) and the presidents choice for Attorney General Gonzalez (in memos to the president explaining why the U.S. does not have to follow Geneva Convention treaties on torture.
While fundamental structural changes have been made unilaterally to keep Iraq’s new government dependent on U.S. authority, it is likely that one of the first acts of a popularly elected Iraqi government will be the demand for a timetable of withdrawel for American troops.
