The war on Afghanistan and Iraq was a learning experience for the United States foreign policy. On September 11th, 2001 nineteen Al Qaeda members hijacked four planes, two of which crashed into the world trade center, another into the pentagon and the last into Shanksville, Pennsylvania (Scholastic). The man who was behind this attack was Osama bin Laden and with refusal to hand him over, the United States quickly prompted an attack on Afghanistan. The second war which began in 2003 was due to the belief that Saddam Hussein had acquired weapons of mass destruction which was a direct threat to the safety of the United States, in addition there were also claims that Saddam Hussein had ties with Al Qaeda and was being supported by Osama

On September 11th 2001, the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out terrorist attacks against the United States. Two planes were flown into the World Trade Center twin towers. The third hit the Pentagon outside Washington, and the final plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed as a result, and this tragic event defined the presidency of George W. Bush (History.com Staff). Shortly after the attacks, President Bush delivered a powerful speech that helped unify the American people, defy the terrorists, and call the citizens to action. In his 9/11 speech, President Bush successfully uses rhetorical devices to address the terrorism, unite people, and give hope to his audience.

Republican candidate, George H.W. Bush, had lost the 1992 presidential election to a young Democrat from Arkansas, Bill Clinton. Clinton was somewhat of a dark horse candidate. He survived a giant sex scandal during his election, however, a third party run by Ross Perot split the vote and in 1993, Clinton was inaugurated. Clinton's foreign policy agenda, included the Oslo Accords between Israel and the PLO and NATO action in the Balkans. Successes and failures of the Clinton presidency included the failed attempt at health care reform, the very horrible attempt on LGBT issues, mixed feelings on the welfare reform and the more uplifting issues such as the huge improvements made in the economy. Also, computers were blowing up with the public

Clinton was elected President of the United States in 1992, defeating incumbent Republican opponent George Bush. At age 46, he became the third youngest president and the first from the Baby boomer generation.

William Jefferson Blythe III, also known as Bill Clinton was our 42nd president serving his terms from Jan. 20th, 1993 too Jan. 19th, 2001. Bill Clinton was a great president he accomplished many things that have never been done or have not been done in many years, but everyone has their flaws as he did he was the cause of a lot of controversy between '95 and '98 involving white house intern Ms. Monica Lewinsky. He might have a lot of defaults thrown his way but, in the end, he changed America for the better.

Bill Clinton, the 42nd U.S. president, served in office from 1993 to 2001. Prior to that, the Arkansas native and Democrat was governor of his home state. During Clinton’s time in the White House, America enjoyed an era of peace and prosperity, marked by low unemployment, declining crime rates and a budget surplus. Clinton appointed a number of women and minorities to top government posts, including Janet Reno, the first female U.S. attorney general, and Madeleine Albright, the first female U.S. secretary of state. In 1998, the House of Representatives impeached Clinton on charges related to a sexual relationship he had with a White House intern. He was acquitted by the Senate. Following his presidency, Clinton remained active in public

The governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton, was the first Democratic candidate in the election of 1992, becoming the first Democratic president since 1976. He was the president number 42 and occupied two presidential period between 1993 to 2000. When he was nominated to the presidency in 1992 by the Democratic party, Clinton centered his campaign in creating jobs, focusing on the image that is close to ordinary people because he does not come from an elite of millionaires like his challenger George W. Bush. Clinton was favored with the career of three rivals counting Ross Perot. In fact, he won with the 43 percent of the votes, while Bush won only with the 37 percent. Consequently, the Democrats retained their majority in both chambers of government. Bush, acting as President in functions, proceeded to sending 20.000 American soldiers to Somalia under the auspices of the ONU to keep the peace and help to support the humanitarian aid. This action received the support of the President-elect Clinton, like the signing in January of 1993 of Start II Treaty related with the nuclear disarmament between Bush and the Russian President Boris Yeltsin.

     Perhaps one of the most interesting times in a president’s administration is during the end of his term in office. Having reached the ultimate goal in a politician’s career, a president no longer has to worry about public opinion or any of the other political give and takes that usually influence a politician’s actions. He is truly free to act as he pleases almost free of consequences. Bill Clinton’s final days in office certainly demonstrated this fact. Using the ultimate unchecked executive power of clemency Clinton issued over 140 pardons and thirty six sentence commutations. He protected over a million acres of land through the creation of six new national monuments. He also nominated nine new federal

The forty-second president of the United States was Bill Clinton. Running for president in 1992 and winning two terms of office, he was widely successful. Clinton had an active presidency, passing many laws within his eight years as president. Part of this success was due to his childhood and his distinctly marked path to presidency. His actions gave him a particular legacy, to both him and the First Lady. Throughout Bill Clinton’s presidency, he was influenced by his own life, and for the opportunity to better the average American’s life (Clinton).

In June of 1999, while still Governor of Texas, Bush announced his candidacy for President of the United States. In the final showdown, it was between Bush and Vice President Al Gore in one of the closest elections ever. After a third recount, Bush received 271 electoral votes to Gore’s 266 and became the 43rd President of the United States. However, he lost the popular vote by more than half a million votes. His fist initiative as President was the No Child Left Behind Act, which raised standards in schools and insisted on accountability in return for federal dollars. The most significant event during Bush’s reign came on September 11, 2001 when terrorists hijacked several planes and attacked American soil killing nearly 3,000 people. In response to the attack, Bush established the Department of Homeland Security and announced the “War on Terrorism” which still continues to this day. Bush focused his attention on Iraq, labeling them as part of an “axis of evil”. He proclaimed that they were in the possession of weapons of mass destruction and had to be stop. Eventually, they captured the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein but no weapons were discovered. In 2000 and again in 2004, Bush was named the Person of the Year by Time magazine.

On September 20, 2001 he delivered the speech “After 9/11” that addressed the current events, the actions that were going to be taken, and what was expect from the people. Numerous terror incidents had been
