US power comes from the constitution

            In this post as last post of mine in this class I would like to share my wonders about US constitution,the main reason that make USA such a powerful nation in my opinion.

While it is true that the basis of all law in the United States is its constitution the fact remains that the constitution expands far beyond mere law and becomes the backbone of the entire American identity . So powerful is the United States constitution it has been studied by many of the world ‘s greatest minds so as to find out why it succeeds and why it has experienced such longevity .    What makes the constitution worthy of the various studies of it over the years I believe,has been its ability to endure despite a number of catastrophes that have happened to the United States . The constitution has survived the assassination of presidents , it has survived two world wars , it has survived inflation , recession and depression , it has survived the Cold War and it has survived a civil war that was the closest the United States had ever come to complete collapse and dissolution . Yet , despite all the chaos , the constitution survives and has not been replaced .This is a significant achievement because many powerful nations have seen their entire systems of government collapse and replaced with complete new systems . The monarchies of Britain , the empire of Japan and the Soviet Union have all seen complete revamps of their political systems to the point what currently exists bears almost no relation to the previous model .

Yet , the constitution which is the basis of all law in the United States remains as strong and as relevant in the modern era as it was when it was first devised .

A quick review...

As long as considering your whole point of view matters I say yes to you.But there are some negotiable ideas that I like to say.
First of all I think you are choosing the best topic.It describes situation very well even the statement of rent-a-cop is so related.I undoubtedly think that oil plays the most important role and there are no other polices even 10% as significant as that and USA has actually supported this policy since starting of the cold war and as we see most of these dictators are fossils of those old days in which they were just useful to bring stability in oil fields. There was no argument of human right at that time.
Secondly,as a US citizen your expense consideration would be vital because these days people in USA has more to do with money than old days.I know nothing about economy but Its obvious that there are lots of pressure on people and no body like to spend his/her money on stupid political affairs.

Dual polices of USA in Middle Eas

There is a war in Bahrain. Saudi Arabia has sent troops to support Bahraini government. White house says: “we are worrying about opponents, they must be answered peacefully, we support democracy in Middle East” and that’s all.  Muammar Gaddafi kills opponents in Libya, suddenly every western country starts to condemn him, France and USA send their fighters to support the opponents and destroy government’s army! These are just two simple and fresh examples of USA’s confusing policies.

These days are like miracle to people in Middle East, they are experiencing those Europeans did in mid 15th century. They are trying to get rid of monarchies, Dictatorships and old-fashioned religion to find freedom. I can completely understand what youth are doing there cause I'm one of them. In 2009, I was one of millions of Iranian people and one of thousands of students who came to street to say that they want their right to vote freely, to stop mullahs from cheating in the election. I have seen how dictators treated to people, how they shoot them, how they invade universities and students, I heard my friends are in jail and some executed. Maybe elders, those who have seen the student revolution in France in 1960th or Luther king in USA, may understand what I'm talking about. It's hard to show someone how it feels when you go out with your friend to ask those who are permitted by you to roll over you to let you have your first steps of human rights, it's bone breaking when you suddenly see you went out 5 and went back 3, two are arrested and after one year one executed. It's the same in other countries around Iran, Although, They are Arabs but we are all in the same situation. There is only one difference, which make it absolutely intolerable; United Nation and USA countries are supporting their benefits not people, this causes conviction of Libya and silence about Saudi and Bahrain.

            Some may say that governments plans are based on nations benefits so are the developed western countries. But it's not the point; there are many differences between being wise to change international affairs as chances to improve your country and using them as colonialism ideas. If they are supporters of democracy they must consider all opponents in Middle East free of any exception. There is no margin among dictators; kings are ruthless, Mullahs are Stupid, no matter they are rolling over Iran, Egypt or Saudi Arabia. Others say that it’s every nations duty to bring freedom to it. That's true as well. We see most of Arabic countries did it and gave blood without any primary international support. But it's a dirty policy to cover your desired government with latest weapons and medias just because you are satisfied with zonal relationships; As USA did in latest Egyptian revolution. They didn't assert opponents in Egypt till the time they realized there is no chance for President Mubarak to be in power any more.

I'm going to expand the subject to show humans right is not the preference of their policy. First, before breakup of Soviet Union USA’s plan was balance of power with Communists, so they were confirming those who supported they ideas. Second, almost every government in Middle East and North Africa is dictatorship, I strongly can say that except Turkey all of them are monarchy, and again except Iran and Syria there are no conflicts between other Middle east countries and Israel. This is one of the most important issues of verified or not verified governments in western ideas. Third, Middle east countries are just look like fat cows with tremendous amount of milk which as long as they foster, west has got nothing to do with their behavior. But things got changed and people got mad of dictators started to overthrown them. Lots of functions in Middle East and security of oil plans fell in danger. If you turn the TV on, you will find nearly all of them as, kings gone, chaos come, tension went high so the oil price changed. Gaddafi is a dictator as Saudi monarchy is but the difference is the first one allows USA to have his army HQs and supports them with oil but second one is an insane dictator who has nothing to lose but his life so he demolishes every thing even Oil refineries. So medias boycott the first Saudi Arabia’s

I think they want democracy in any country as long as their economic blood, which is oil doesn’t, be threatened but today’s news shows that it’s not what youth want all around Middle East and North Africa. Let me say something: I am from Middle east and I have lived like one Middle eastern youth, We are no terrorists nor stupid, we are all so depressed and tried of these political manners, all we want is some kind of people made government which is free from bloody oil policies of USA and its allies, all we want is democracy; At least like they have.
