"George W Bush was he 43rd president of the United States of America,. Under his leadership and decision making, the united states got itself trapped in a winding conflict in the Middle East, and set off the region into a downwoards spiral of chaos and instability. many said that his decision and policies were reckless. in fact, on an individual level, these decision were fueled by his need to fullfil his masculine duties in accordance to the masculine gender role, which is to be competitive, aggresive and dominant, to name a few. like namy white and privilaged persons in the United states, Bush's background was socially conservative. in a scoially concervative culture, men are expected to behave according to masculine roles, or risk being ridiculed and mocked. yet, as a young man, Bush never did manage to estabilish himself and rise out his father's footsteps. this would have caused a lot of masculine anxiety for Bush. This anxiety would translate itslef into his decision making process when he served as President, where he challenged those who went againts his proceptions of what was right, ofthe with threat declaration and force. He wanted to proof that he was the man and proceeded to base his decisions off how manly it would make him look, even if it meant risking innocent lives. "

ABSTRACTA country’s foreign policy making cannot be separated from the politics of bureaucratic actors. Thus, the dynamics of a country’s policy towards other countries can be understood through the study of bureaucratic politics. This thesis discusses the contradiction of U.S. foreign policy approaches on democratization issues in Myanmar during two periods of George W. Bush administration. There are two groups in the formulation of the Bush foreign policy, neoconservatives and realists. Through descriptive historical studies, this study found that a contradiction in the Bush foreign policy approach occurs because of the dominance of one of the groups in the foreign policy making."

"This book is a history of the civil liberties records of American presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama. It examines the full range of civil liberties issues: First Amendment rights of freedom of speech, press and assembly; due process; equal protection, including racial justice, women?s rights, and lesbian and gay rights; privacy rights, including reproductive freedom; and national security issues. The book argues that presidents have not protected or advanced civil liberties, and that several have perpetrated some of the worst violations. Some Democratic presidents (Wilson and Roosevelt), moreover, have violated civil liberties as badly as some Republican presidents (Nixon and Bush). This is the first book to examine the full civil liberties records of each president (thus, placing a president?s record on civil rights with his record on national security issues), and also to compare the performance on particular issues of all the presidents covered"
