Abstract

Throughout the course of its history, the United States has utilized its foreign policy objectives for the purposes of pursuing its own needs. Although the United States has, in rare instances, pursued foreign policy objectives for the purposes of altruistically improving outcomes for citizens in developing nations, in general it can be argued that the US has a long history of hegemony and imperialism in the international community. Despite the position of the US as a world political and economic leader, it is evident that the federal government still envisions areas in which the US could potentially take a more active and aggressive role in world domination. Such is the case with the middle east.critically examining US policy toward the middle east in the twentieth century, it is evident that relations with various middle Eastern countries during this time period were shaped by the Cold War. For instance, the US forged allies with Osama bin Laden during the 1980s in an effort to help bin Laden and his guerillas defeat the Russians in Afghanistan. Further, the US was ultimately responsible for installing Saddam Hussein as the leader of Iraq in an effort to prevent the spread of communism in the middle east.
