The United States: Foreign Policy

1. In a crisis such as genocide or a violation of human rights, will the United States intervene to protect the rights of the people who are being violated of their basic human rights?                                                The United States has intervened in the past. In Somalia the United States sent troops whose objective was to capture the leaders of the militia groups. Recently Obama has also sent troops into Uganda to help defend the citizens of Uganda be protected from the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Led by Joesph Kony, this rebel group often uses child soldiers and abducts them from their home. Obama tends to interfere more then George W. Bush did which is one way that the Obama and Bush doctrine differ.  Obama seems like he tends to aid other nations more than President Bush did.
2. What is foreign policy and who is involved with it? Foreign policy is the way that a country interacts with other nations, their relationships with them. The president is chief diplomat and the US secretary of state is Foreign Minister who is Hillary Clinton at the moment.
3. What is the Job of Ambassadors? An ambassador is a person from a country who is sent to represent his country. It is the highest ranking diplomat. They have a great deal of knowledge of foreign policy. A foreign country will usually allow  a diplomat to control a certain amount of territory which is known as an embassy. His staff, territory, and vehicles are awarded diplomatic immunity.
