...Niro Siva Humanities/Philosophy/Religion Teacher: Sarwat Viqar Date: March 3, 2014 Response to film "Control Room" “Control room” a documentary about Al Jazeera and its connection with the US Central Command (CENCOM), and also other news institutions that enclosed the 2003 invasion of Iraq. At once a clear-eyed document of the war, an inquiry into the way events is filtered into "news," and a complex, surprising portrait of the personalities behind the scenes. “Control Room” is also a document of a vastly different perspective on the war in Iraq. Al Jazeera showed footage of the bloodied, wounded, mutilated, and the dead, images of the true cost of war. Some stereotypes were reinforced in the documentary such as in the network’s headquarters in Qatar, shaded by palm trees, men in Muslim headgear are working the controls, yelling at the monitor when President Bush gave the ultimatum to Saddam Hussein which will lead to war. Although this documentary has shown some disturbing footages, it also has some good things to come out of the war as documented: the constructive interaction between representatives of the Arab media and the American media and armed forces. Not only does this result in friendly, off-the-job banter, but also a deeper appreciation for the struggles that the other side faces. Since it is primarily about war, “Control Room” can be bitter and sad. However, this clip is very human and humorous and makes for a very nice moment in the movie. At the end of the...

...“Napoleon – Revolutionary Influence or Beneficiary?” Napoleon Bonaparte is widely regarded as one of the greatest military commanders of all time. At the height of his power, he had “expanded the conquests of France from her revolutionary borders to that of an empire that stretched from Spain to the steppes of Russia.”[1] In his book The Napoleonic Wars, noted historian Gunther Rothenberg states that Napoleon “created the most effective army of its time, transforming the art of war itself.”[2] While it is true that the French army under Napoleon was the superior force in Europe for some time, credit for its creation and the ways in which it was employed can not be attributed to him alone. In fact, as Hew Strachan points out in European Armies and the Conduct of War, “The components, the technology and the techniques of Napoleonic warfare were all present before Bonaparte’s first successful campaign in 1796.”[3] Napoleon was indeed a superb military commander, but he inherited, rather than created, the conditions and practices which enabled his success. Napoleonic warfare was dominated by large, mobile armies. Decisive battles were sought and the primacy of the offensive was encouraged. The destruction of the enemy’s forces took precedence over geographic aims and victory was to be pursued at all costs. Warfare under Napoleon has been described as being more ‘total’ in nature than those which preceded him. There is little doubt that the ways in which wars were...

Conclusion Afterword Author’s Note Acknowledgments Notes Foreword When a governor or any state official seeks elective national office, his (or her) reputation and what the country knows about the candidate’s background is initially determined by the work of local and regional media. Generally, those journalists do a competent job of reporting on the prospect’s record. In the case of Governor George W. Bush, Texas reporters had written numerous stories about his failed businesses in the oil patch, the dubious land grab and questionable funding behind a new stadium for Bush’s baseball team, the Texas Rangers, and his various political contradictions and hypocrisies while serving in Austin. I was one of those Texas journalists. I spent about a decade...
