Bush’s Dilemma: The Cost of the War on Terrorism
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper arguing that George W. Bush has no clear idea of how long the war against terrorism will last, how much it will cost or when he will need to raise taxes to pay for the effort. The bottom line is that there are too many unknowns for the Bush administration to be able to provide any firm picture of total cost of the war effort or when it will be “safe” for the economy for the administration to raise federal taxes. Without knowing how long the war effort will last, there is no way to firmly predict what the final cost will be. Without knowing that bottom-line figure, neither can tax increases be predicted. All hinges on how effective allied forces are able to be in inhibiting terrorists’ ability to act at will. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Cajun Company's Approach to Government Contracting
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper
discussing one company's justification for requesting exemption from government cost disclosure
requirements. Cajun Company was acquired by a much larger organization active in government
contracting. Cajun's senior management had avoided government contracting in the past, simply
because of the weighty regulations surrounding it. An organization it has done business with over
the years now has become a government contractor as well, and the government is requesting
confidential and proprietary cost information from Cajun. The paper is a justification for
exemption from such requirements, citing a DoD FAR class deviation in support of Cajun's
arguments. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Captain Rockwood And Haiti: Military Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Captain Rockwood experienced a collision between conscience and duty, a test of one's moral constitution from which no human can escape unscathed; if the issue at hand is so daunting as to erect such a pillar of doubt, while at the same time drive one to contemplate the validity of its importance over and above one's personal conflict, then there can be no question as to the legitimacy of hesitation. From childhood and throughout his learning years, Rockwood felt an entirely different calling than the one that expected him to carry forth the family's military tradition. Indeed, the humanitarian empathy in him exuded from the apex of his entire being; how, then, could a man who at one time trained to be a priest be expected to ignore the calling of blatant barbarity? Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Changing The Course Of Terrorism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. To understand the nature of terrorism in contemporary global society is to realize how the United States – fending complete innocence where the perpetuation of terrorism is concerned – has long played an integral role in its existence, whether American officials ever come to admitting such historical involvement or not. With so many examples from which to choose throughout the two hundred and thirty years America has been a global player, it is difficult to find just one that illustrates the most important role the nation has played in spreading terrorism; however, the dubious dropping of nuclear bombs upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki brings forth one of the best standards by which to compare. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
