    The Role of Non - State Actors in Shaping Foreign Policy: Analyzing Their Influence on Terrorism, Trade, and International Relations "Non - State Roles" Please respond to the following:  From the second e - Activity, examine the overall roles of the Non - State participants within a current event that requires a foreign policy on terrorism to be developed. Provide a rationale for your response. Since the closing of the 19th century the middle class has emerged into the largest class in our society. With the four previously discussed policies, or ideals in place, the middle class would improve and become stronger, which it has. Otherwise, without protection of U.S. foreign policy, our nation’s economy and power would deflate, sinking the middle class to becoming a poor working class. Fortunately, our nation’s leaders sought to protect and uphold foreign policy throughout the decades, and as a result turned our society into one built on the foundations of the middle class. Emphasizing diligence in work and in savings, daily life lived on a strong moral basis, and education as the key to economic success, which has emerged into the cornerstone of the U.S. and its people throughout the twentieth century. President Obama has committed himself and his Administration from the beginning of his presidency to a foreign policy that ensures the safety of the American people. But he also refuses the false division between our values and our security; the United States can be true to our values and ideals while also protecting the American people. We will use all elements of American power to achieve objectives, and consult closely with the Congress so that our policies may have the broad and bipartisan support that makes them most effective. Finally, while there are instances and individuals who can be met only by force, the United States will be prepared to listen to and talk with our adversaries in order to advance our interests. Refocusing on the Threat from al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan Following an intensive 60 - day interagency review, on March 27, 2009, the President announced a new strategy with a clear and focused goal: to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and to prevent their return to either country in the future. The strategy is comprehensive and flexible and will need to be fully resourced. In addition to the new troops the President has chosen to deploy, the strategy calls for significantly more resources to the civilian effort and frequent evaluations of our progress. Responsibly Ending the War in Iraq On 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 full responsibility for major combat missions. After August 31, 2010, the mission of United States forces in Iraq will fundamentally change. Our forces will have three tasks: train, equip, and advise the Iraqi Security Forces; conduct targeted counterterrorism operations; and provide force protection for military and civilian personnel. The President intends to keep our commitment under the Status of Forces Agreement to remove all of our troops from Iraq by the end of 2011.
