    I believe that, to maintain power, both domestic and foreign policies have to somehow balance each other out. The dual roles of the American government are domestic and foreign policies. Executive, legislative, and judicial are the factors that make the American foreign policy on behalf of the federal government. In my opinion, I believe that foreign policies do not follow the same principles as the domestic policies because the problems are too different. Within the nation, it knows what it wants. The nations do not show their true colors. They come out as nice to each other, they try to show off and try to do hide whatever is going on within the nation and not show to other nations. Domestic policy represents the collective conscious of the nation. Foreign policy would be more of a performance to get allies. The 14th amendment is considered a domestic policy.…

    During the last days of the Afghanistan Soviet Union conflict, it was apparent that the less equipped and heavily disadvantaged Mujahedeen, or freedom fighter, were going to be victorious. This was due mainly to the convert help that they were given by the United Stated of America in the form of money and arms. One anonymous prayer leader became a legend on the battlefield for his bravery and tenacity against his Russian foes. Mohammad Omar or Mullah Omar, left his madrassa, took up arms, declared Jihad on the invading Soviet Union, and even lost his right eye in a legendary battle with the Soviets. Also, there were many volunteers from all over the Islamic world arriving in Pakistan to join the Mujahedeen in their quest for freedom. Among them was a wealthy Saudi named Osama bin Laden who brought much needed money and construction techniques that aided the Afghanis greatly. Also emerging in the conflict was a military genius named Ahmad Shah Massoud. His strategies and battle prowess earn him the nickname “Lion of Panjshir” and the post of defense minister in 1992. Now all three major players are in line to bring about events that will ultimately bring about attacks and wars that will affect the entire world.…

    There are many factors that truly contribute to the shaping of the foreign policy of a country. But all these factors can be divided into two classes. One is domestic factors and another is external factors. In domestic factors we can have factors of domestic importance like energy, agriculture, industrial importance, resources etc. for example India's growing economy demands huge energy for growth. It will mean that our foreign policy should be shaped such that our energy demands must be fulfilled with the help of other countries. In this regard India should make friendly relations with the countries having rich energy resources and try to help those countries in by investing in these countries in oil, gas etc. sector. So our domestic demands will direct our foreign policy. In the same way what happens at the international level does affect all the countries in some way...Directly or indirectly. So we have to see that particular event does not harm our national interests. In this way one would have to take a particular stand and take action according to that. for example India remained non-aligned after it's freedom so that it would not remain dependent on a particular country for it's development, and that helped India as Russia, America an other countries all helped it some way or the other.…
