The American Return to Iraq .... a Strategic Approach

Abstract

There is no doubt that Iraq is a vital American interest, as the events of 2003 and what followed are not far away. It may explain to everyone that American interests in this country are great, some of which are linked to oil and others to security and strategic aspects. The United States of America is a superpower that dominates the international pyramid, and that its continuation at its top is the goal of its strategy, and its continuation and leadership of this pyramid imposes great costs on it. Its theorists and supporters of the continuation of American hegemony justify this within the framework of the idealist theory, given that it is not like the rest of the empires that have died, as it is trying to present itself as a protector of human values and defending democracy, but the fact that can be observed is that the behavior of this empire is within the framework of realistic theory In international relations based on interest and power. In the framework of interest and power, the United States of America has worked, through several strategies and principles since the Cold War to the present day, to preserve its interests, and among the most important of these strategies and principles (containment strategy - Truman principle - Carter principle - pre-emptive and preventive war ... etc).
