North Korea Versus Sudan

Now that we have studied two very different countries but with similarities concerning human right violations, I want you to connect the experiences the Lost Boys had in Sudan to the current state of North Korea.

Part II

1. Describe some of the risks and benefits of the United States engineering a regime change in other countries. (a change in the government)  Use “Iran the Next Iraq”, “Argo” and the Upfront Article, “What’s the Deal with Iran” to help  defend your answer.

There are many risks and benefits of the United States engineering a regime change in other countries. One of the risks are that if the United States takes their control of the other countries and their governments too far they could get those other countries mad and end up creating themselves wars against these countries and their governments. In the movie “Argo,” the Americans who were in Iran were attacked and killed because they protected and hid the Shah from the Iranians. The Americans started giving the Shah power by lending Iran some of their weapons. After the United States gave the Shah their power, the Shah took advantage of the Iranians and took all their money. This caused the Iranians to want to hang the Shah. The Americans protected the Shah from the Iranians and the Iranians got mad at Americans. After this, Iran started war with America and broke into their Embassy. This proves that they tried to help Iran's government, but it created war. Although there are risks, there are also benefits. A benefit of the United States changing other countries’ governments is that if they help another country's economy they could get the same help back in return. This shows that there are both risks and benefits of the United States engineering a regime change in other countries.

2. (Use #4 to help you answer this question) Should the United States get involved in other countries’ policies? Use all the articles you have and additional research to answer this question.

I do not think the United States should get involved in other countries’ policies because in the movie “Argo” it shows that the Americans helped Iran and even gave them some of their weapons to help them and gave the Shah power. The Iranians ended up burning 52 American Flags and taking hostage of people in the Embassy.

Part 2 GERBER

I don't think the U.S  should get involved in other policies because the U.S might not agree on what the other countries do.  Also they might not agree with the government and what type of government it is which could cause a revolution. When we decided Iran's leader he made everyone starve and also kept all the money for himself and that started a huge revolution and made Iran hate the U.S. I think the U.S should stay out of other countries policies.

Question 2 Albert

1. I don’t think they should because it could lead to something dangerous. Also it may cost civilians lives and that we should leave it alone. If we would of left Iran alone maybe they would not taken over the embassy and would not of kept the hostages for 444 days.

Jared's Question

2. (Use #4 to help you answer this question) Should the United States get involved in other countries’ policies? Use all the articles you have and additional research to answer this question.

No, because then it could lead to what happened in Iran where we saved their leader and they kidnaped over 50 american hostages and didn’t let them out for 444 days more than a year. this could happen again but a lot worse and maybe even kill the hostages and not let them go. Only 7 people came out alive. Would America be able to save those again?

Adam's Question part 2

I don’t think the US should be involved with other countries policies. They should be only involved in their own policies because if they get involved with another country's policies the country they got involved with could get mad and it could lead to bad relationships. For example the US protected the Shah even though he made a lot of people poor and this lead to riots and then lead to the Iranians to take over the US embassy.
