Abstract

During the past century, particularly after WWII. The American foreign policy had been a triggering topic for authors, scholars, and journalists, as a debatable subject to review. America was regarded as a powerful country in the world.

The American international policy's principal aim is to build a stable world of democracy for all America's people and the global community. Thus, this study seeks to analyse American foreign policy in the Middle East. In addition, the real motives to intervene in the countries of the Middle East such as the Gulf war and Iraq. Moreover, while it is a generally acknowledged thought among scholars, this research covers the Iraq war as a case study.

Furthermore, the collected data shows the massive impact of the United States on the government of Iraq in the major domains.
