Future Involvement in Foreign Affairs

     Since the United States is one of the last remaining super powers
of the world,  we
have the obligation to maintain and support good relations with the
smaller and weaker
nations throughout the world.  We should take full advantage of this
authority in several
different ways.  First the U.S. must focus on investing and trading with
those nations who
have yet to become economic powers; second, we must implement a consistent
foreign
policy towards the Middle Eastern nations:  third, the United States needs
to respect the
attempts and results of the democratization and religious revivals in the
Middle East and
Latin America, while taking a passive role in letting the a Western type
of democracy take
its course: and forth, the U.S. must ease and downplay its conflict with
those civilizations
who dislike the "Western people" and their way of life.
     Obviously, foreign investment is necessary for the future of
developing other
nations as well as our own.  There must be an emphasis on foreign
investment and trade,
otherwise the third world nations will continue to fall behind
economically, technologically,
and domestically, which could lead to an economic downfall for the U.S. as
well.  The
question then arises as to what the United States must do in order to have
large trade
agreements with other countries other than Japan and Mexico.  In order for
the U.S. to
play a more active role in the economic and political development of many
of these
developing nations, it must first accept a different philosophy than its
current one.  First, it
is imperative for the United States to play a similar role in Latin
America to the one Japan
has played with many of the developing nations in East Asia.   The U.S.
neighbors Latin
America, and if it wants to play the role of big brother, it must accept
the responsibility.
Japan has invested, traded, and been a guide for many of it's neighboring
countries in East
Asia, making them grow politically and economically while also profiting
economically
itself (Japan Remains 1996).  The U.S. must realize that the economies of
Latin American
Nations will play an important part in the future of our own economy, and
that it must
begin to lead, invest, and aid not just Mexico, but countries such as
Peru, Argentina,
Bolivia, and Columbia into the twenty first century.  The mainstay in
American foreign
policy has always been to promote and instill democracy.  However, in
order to do this in a
foreign nation, the U.S. must be able to first establish a viable economic
relationship and
system within the desired nations.  We should not expect or want a nation
to switch from a
total authoritarian government to a market economy; doing so would be a
disaster.  The
former Soviet Union is a notable example of this philosophy.   Instead,
the U.S. has to be
willing to allow developing to nations invest in U.S. markets before we
invest in theirs.  In
return, a viable export / import system will be established.  But it is
essential that the
economy of the developing nation be monitored and run by its own
government, and the
United States should only be there for advising purposes.  When a
reasonable system has
finally been achieved, then--not right away--a more American, laissez -
faire type of
economic network will be allowed to grow.  If
     The greatest challenge the United States faces is implementing a
foreign policy that
is consistent throughout the Middle East.  Islamic nations aren't likely
to be responsive to
ideas such as human rights, and democracy.  These nations will never be
responsive to
western ideas when  the United States continues to levy sanctions against
them.  The U.S.
is lucky that it has an ally in Saudi Arabia and Israel, allowing them to
implement many of
these foreign policy agendas against the other Middle Eastern countries,
without having to
face serious economic consequences in the oil and gas industry.  Oddly
enough though,
Saudi Arabia is probably as much again...
