Provide a rationalefor your response.Since the closing of the 19th century the middle class has emerged into the largest class in oursociety. With the four previously discussed policies, or ideals in place, the middle class wouldimprove and become stronger, which it has. Otherwise, without protection of U.S. foreignpolicy, our nation’s economy and power would deflate, sinking the middle class to becoming apoor working class. Fortunately, our nation’s leaders sought to protect and uphold foreign policythroughout the decades, and as a result turned our society into one built on the foundations ofthe middle class. Emphasizing diligence in work and in savings, daily life lived on a strong moralbasis, and education as the key to economic success, which has emerged into the cornerstone ofthe U.S. and its people throughout the twentieth century.President Obama has committed himself and his Administration from the beginning of hispresidency to a foreign policy that ensures the safety of the American people. But he alsorefuses the false division between our values and our security; the United States can be true toour values and ideals while also protecting the American people. We will use all elements ofAmerican power to achieve objectives, and consult closely with the Congress so that our policiesmay have the broad and bipartisan support that makes them most effective. Finally, while thereare instances and individuals who can be met only by force, the United States will be preparedto listen to and talk with our adversaries in order to advance our interests.Refocusing on the Threat from al Qaeda in Afghanistan and PakistanFollowing an intensive 60-day interagency review, on March 27, 2009, the President announceda new strategy with a clear and focused goal: to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda inPakistan and Afghanistan, and to prevent their return to either country in the future. Thestrategy is comprehensive and flexible and will need to be fully resourced. In addition to thenew troops the President has chosen to deploy, the strategy calls for significantly moreresources to the civilian effort and frequent evaluations of our progress.Responsibly Ending the War in IraqOn February 27, 2009, President Obama announced a plan to responsibly end the war in Iraq.By August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end and Iraqi Security Forces will have fullresponsibility for major combat missions. After August 31, 2010, the mission of United Statesforces in Iraq will fundamentally change. Our forces will have three tasks: train, equip, andadvise the Iraqi Security Forces; conduct targeted counterterrorism operations; and provideforce protection for military and civilian personnel. The President intends to keep ourcommitment under the Status of Forces Agreement to remove all of our troops from Iraq by theend of 2011.
