关键词:美国梦的追求介绍The American Dream
h Korea was taken, China is just a doorstep away. The Korean war clearly showed that the United States was pursuing the "American Dream" in two ways, one was to gain influence which in the time of the Cold War meant power. The other was for economic superiority over the rest of the world with the colossal Chinese market directly bordering coincide what the U.S wanted, North Korea.
The Ku Klux Klan, originally formed on December 24 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, did then and does now stand for white supremacy and superiority in politics, economics and society. Although the klan everywhere fiercely preaches white supremacy, it focuses its attack on what they consider to be alien outsiders, particularly the Roman Catholic Church, which it believes is threatening traditional American ways and values. Despite their beliefs, they are Americans trying to achieve the "American dream", being the idea of a "Ciity upon a hill." The goal of the KKK has always been to purify America of all non- whites which they refer to as un-Americans. The KKK sees themselves as the only real Americans. The idea of a "Ciity upon a hill" originated with the Puritans and their idea of creating a perfect society in America which would serve as model for the rest of the World to follow. The KKK uses this original "American Dream" by interpreting it to fit their white supremacy mandate. The society they want to create is a pure white society that the rest of the world could follow. Their mandate of White supremacy clearly states that the KKK too has an "American Dream", they too in their words and actions try to achieve the "Ciity upon a hill" status. Whether their goals are wrong or right, their efforts to ultimately make the white race and their traditional American beliefs superior over what they consider below them, is a clear example of the American Dream/"Ciity upon a hill" being all about superiority, no matter how it may be.
The Gulf war showed that no nation should violate the interests of the United States. After the re-unification of Germany in October 1990, ending the cold war, a large number of U.S forces were no longer needed. Conveniently, at the same time, after the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, the U.S had the perfect place to move its forces where they were needed for a deterrent to Iraq of invading other neighbouring countries. When war broke out in January 16, 1991, and ended a few months afterwards in April with Iraq defeated, plans for a Middle East peace conference started immediately. The defeat of Iraq affirmed the U.S's total control of the Middle East. With Iraqi aggression ceased, the U.S wanted to resolve the Israeli-Arab hostilities to therefore build a new post-cold war Middle East to meet American interests. Iraq's invasion of Kuwait violated American interests, with consequences following. The defeat of Iraq deterred other Middle East nations from violating American interests thus bringing them together to work out some form of peace that will accommodate the U.S in the perhaps coming American dominated "New World Order." The U.S in bring to parties that hate each other-Arabs and Israelis-to a peace table for U.S interests shows that the U.S is a superior dominant force in the World. Its driving force, the idea of the "American Dream" of being a "Ciity upon a hill." This means to be the best, to be superior, which the U.S has clearly shown in the Middle East.
