Future Involvement in Foreign Affairs
            
             Since the United States is one of the last remaining super powers
             of the world, we
             have the obligation to maintain and support good relations with the
             smaller and weaker
             nations throughout the world. We should take full advantage of this
             authority in several
             different ways. First the U.S. must focus on investing and trading with
             those nations who
             have yet to become economic powers; second, we must implement a consistent
             foreign
             policy towards the Middle Eastern nations: third, the United States needs
             to respect the
             attempts and results of the democratization and religious revivals in the
             Middle East and
             Latin America, while taking a passive role in letting the a Western type
             of democracy take
             its course: and forth, the U.S. must ease and downplay its conflict with
             those civilizations
             who dislike the "Western people" and their way of life.
             Obviously, foreign investment is necessary for the future of
             developing other
             nations as well as our own. There must be an emphasis on foreign
             investment and trade,
             otherwise the third world nations will continue to fall behind
             economically, technologically,
             and domestically, which could lead to an economic downfall for the U.S. as
             well. The
             question then arises as to what the United States must do in order to have
             large trade
             agreements with other countries other than Japan and Mexico. In order for
             the U.S. to
             play a more active role in the economic and political development of many
             of these
             developing nations, it must first accept a different philosophy than its
             current one. First, it
             is imperative for the United States to play a similar role in Latin
             America to the one Japan
             has played with many of the developing nations in East Asia. The U.S.
             neighbors Latin
             America, and if it wants to play the role of big brother, it must accept
             the responsibility.
