Trust me without any question




Reviwe on usage of American
exceptionalism in order
to continue " War on Terror"

This is very interesting that Bush emphasizes yet on his political project in frame of national calling! How long he want to continue this style? He introduces “War on the Terror as a national project but this is a part of his foreign policy! 11 September caused to extent his goals, he uses of people worries about another terrorist attack and try to play the role of prophet of peace, an prophet who invited to war his generation: “ This war on terror is the calling of a new generation; it is the calling of our generation. Success is essential to securing a future of peace for our children and grandchildren. And securing this peace for the future is going to require a sustained commitment from the American people and our military” Bush beginning his comments with introduce of new Secretary of Defense, Bob Gates. Bush remarks his generation and new secretary, after that talks about the priority of his project, in fact he makes Bob Gates owed of the people whit his projects details! See on his words: “We have an obligation to ensure our military is capable of sustaining this war over the long haul, and in performing the many tasks that we ask of them. I'm inclined to believe that we need to increase in the permanent size of both the United States Army and the United States Marines. I've asked Secretary Gates to determine how such an increase could take place and report back to me as quickly as possible.” This is a unique skill of Bush in connecting between different issues! He also pay attention to the time condition that is important for much of the people “ the late days of 2006”, so he talk about it with bias: “ Two thousand and six was a difficult year for our troops and the Iraqi people. We began the year with optimism after watching nearly 12 million Iraqis go to the polls to vote for a unity government and a free future. The enemies of liberty responded fiercely to this advance of freedom. They carried out a deliberate strategy to foment sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shia. And over the course of the year, they had success. Their success hurt our efforts to help the Iraqis rebuild their country. It set back reconciliation; it kept Iraq's unity government and our coalition from establishing security and stability throughout the country.” And finally he hopes for New Year: “We enter this new year clear-eyed about the challenges in Iraq, and equally clear about our purpose. Our goal remains a free and democratic Iraq that can govern itself, sustain itself, and defend itself, and is an ally in this war on terror. “

Confusion in American public opinions
It seems enduring this situation is not easy for the American public opinions, too! In this Press Conference the first Question was it: “Mr. President, less than two months ago at the end of one of the bloodiest months in the war, you said, "Absolutely we're winning." Yesterday you said, "We're not winning, we're not losing." Why did you drop your confident assertion about winning?” so what do you think about Bush’s answer? Do you think he accept this duel comments? “My comments -- the first comment was done in this spirit: I believe that we're going to win; I believe that -- and by the way, if I didn't think that, I wouldn't have our troops there. That's what you got to know. We're going to succeed.” And he wants his people to perceive him more than before, and understand him when he is going to do anything! ” You know, I -- when I speak, like right now, for example -- I'm speaking to the American people, of course, and I want them to know that I know how tough it is, but I also want them to know that I'm going to work with the military and the political leaders to develop a plan that will help us achieve the objective. I also want our troops to understand that -- that we support them; that I believe that tough mission I've asked them to do is going to be accomplished, and that they're doing good work and necessary work.”

Friends and Enemies
There are many points in Bush’s recent Press Conference, but it seems one thing is more titled! He talks with regard of American exceptionalism! You know that American culture is based on this belief and first roots of it came from Declaration of Independence in 1750s, when the American colonies questing a way for freedom of Britain domestic! In fact something like American nation, culture, religion and etc. resulted to formation of American Exceptionalism that Tukwila first time conceder about it. According to this thought Americans think they have big difference from the entire world, in another world they are upper than the others!
Bush also uses of this culture when he talks with his people. According to the issues that came, he introduces his troop expander of peace and liberty in Iraq, and says that because of their attempts Iraqis could practice Democracy in Election for first time if com conflict between Soni and shia let them, the conflict that some enemies make them! This is clear, supporters of Freedom, Democracy and Liberty are always Americans and the people who are not Americans are the people wanting help or enemies!

Trust me without any question
But one point that we have not to forget is this: never a politic never worries about people’s culture just for his interest. Bush uses of this culture “ you are best in the world”, " This war on terror is the calling of a new generation; it is the calling of our generation," for hiding his real porpuse: Trust me without any question.

“Drums Along the Mohawk”


Drums Along the Mohawk” is the Adventure film of Hollywood which was directed by John Ford (I), one of the famous directors in the first half 20th century in USA. Mohawk Valley, where Gilbert and Lana Martin (Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert) a young couple trying to make their new life, is the symbol of American society(late 18th century) that some events like attack, protection, joining together and participation happened in it.

Summery
Gilbert Martin and his bride Lana marry shortly before the revolutionary war starts. They settle in Upstate New York and began their couple life with hope. Something like communication with neighbors was strange for them especially Lana but the series problems like Indian attacks resulted to burned out their village with intriguing Tories. So for the next six years Gilbert fights in the war as he and Lana try to establish their homestead.Story and its WritersThe story of this film is belong to a interesting novel, Walter D. Edmonds wrote it in (1939) and William Faulkner, Sonya Levien and Lamar Trotti tried to formed it to screen written for “Drums Along the Mohawk”.

Main Characters
Feel our life

Alfred Newman is the composer of this film, he was later known variously as "the Boy Conductor" and "the Youngest Conductor in the United States." By the time he entered films with the 1930 Goldwyn production Whoopee. Nominated for 45 Academy awards, Newman won the award nine times. His last composition was the driving, intensely up-to-date main theme for Universal's
Airport (1970). Also in 1995 he composed Hollywood Sound.
In
Drums Along the Mohawk, every situation has its music, with the background of hope or something that new couples feel it, sadness, happiness, expectation, patience, fear and confusion , are some of these situation that Alfred Newman composed it artistically.
From Timid Lady to Brave Woman
Claudette Colbert is the main actress of this film. She was born in Paris, Seine, France. At first her complete name was Lily Claudette Chauchoin but in 1923 when she went to
Broadway (a place like Hollywood), she adopted the name Claudette Colbert. Her first successful film was The Lady Lies in (1929) and she could accept her started situation in American cinema in 1930s, such unique situation that her name symbolized good movies in America. “Drums Along the Mohawk” (1939) was her film that kept fans coming to the theaters and the movie moguls happy. By the late 1940s and early 1950s she was not only seen on the screen but the infant medium of television, where she appeared in a number of programs.
We could consider her different play in “
Drums Along the Mohawk”, her different conditions like, at the beginning of film, when enter to life with a man, and after that when she migrated with her husband to new place and etc. in these times we could see her in timid lady role but with passed another film’s events, she received to brave woman who could take a weapon and protected of her neighbors in lake of her husband! So Claudette Colbert believed this role and played it.
War for The Life
Henry Fonda was born in
Grand Island, Nebraska, USA, (16 May 1905). His ancestors came from Genoa, Italy, and fled to the Netherlands around 1400. Among the early Dutch settlers in America, they established a still-thriving small town in upstate New York named Fonda in the early 1600s, named after patriarch Douw Fonda, who was later killed by Indians. Henry Fonda's paternal grandparents moved to Nebraska in the 1800s. He started his acting debut with the Omaha Community Playhouse, a local amateur theater troupe directed by Dorothy Brando. His first major roles in Broadway include "New Faces of America" and "The Farmer Takes a Wife". One of his best films was Young Mr. Lincoln (1939); James Stewart and John Ford (the director of Drums Along the Mohawk) were his best friend. His two children are screen stars of American Cinema today. He spanned almost 50 years in American theater and television and finally died in 12 August 1982.
A kind of pride and self confidence is obvious in his face, it seems that he could manage the problem even when he came back from war and he was very upset of it, another thing that he live with all of his energy and war was not only conflict for him, he fought for his life. In all of the film Henry Fonda didn’t distance from his role.
Portray of Americans Unity
John Ford (I), was born in
Cape Elizabeth, Maine, USA (1 February 1894) he was one of the most respected directors in the business especially in his westerns, which were not considered "serious" film. He won six Oscars and received a Presidential Medal of Freedom from Richard Nixon in 1973.He has won more directing Oscars than any other director: four, for The Informer (1935), The Grapes of Wrath (1940), How Green Was My Valley (1941), and The Quiet Man (1952). He also won an Oscar for Best Documentary, Short Subject for The Battle of Midway (1942) and an Oscar for Best Documentary for December 7th (1943).
It seems that John Ford (I) was successful to direct a historian Film. In regard of American narrative of their history, they try to build their house, their city and their country and they are not only immigrants but also they are creators of this land and this history. So this film could give this belief that every group of immigrants (the young couple) who came to this land for their interest, finally joined to his society and his United Nation. Ford could portray it during the film and ended it in unity of settlements when the flag was raised.


American Society in Late Eighteen Century
Tom Tyler (Capt. Morgan), Chief John Big Tree (Blue Back) and Edna May Oliver (Mrs. Sarah McKlennar) are the best representative of this society, Capt. Morgan who is introduced with his single eye, wanted to keep Tories’ domination on settlements, in fact he wanted to access to this land. Mrs. Sarah McKlennar who is introduced with her naked language has role of respectable land owner even in lake of her husband (General McKlennar) and she doesn’t leave her land, her home, her bed until last moment! Blue Back, the Indian man who is introduced with his ancient hat, his broken English accent and his emphasis on putting the hat could be a sign for trying to keep his Indian culture and keep situation in new American society. These three representatives in the time shortly before American Revelation (1776) are good choice for showing some challenges in American History and American Identity. The central role of this new couple also helps to perceive the new society better. May be this couple were representative of common American people that try to find their place in new society and in this way they had to accept some prices.

Kill me but...



According to a report in CNN ( December 12, 2006), Americans spend over $1 billion a year on anti-wrinkle creams. How Americans pay attention to their beauty! This is very wonderful! Maybe being a part of Costuming society is one the causes of this result! Cosmetic industry is one of the most money making industry in the world.

Nice me! I'm not care of its money!
The first archaeological evidence of cosmetics usage is found in Ancient Egypt around 4000 BC. The Ancient Greeks and Romans also used cosmetics The Romans and Ancient Egyptians used cosmetics containing mercury and often lead The best cosmetics industry The cosmetics industry is a multinational, multi-billion-dollar industry. Of the major firms, the oldest and the largest is L'Oréal, which was founded by Eugene Schueller in 1909 as the French Harmless Hair Colouring Company .The market was developed in the USA during the 1910s by Elizabeth Arden(2), Helena Rubinstein, and Max Factor. About this factory I have to say that it is so rich that for advertising his name between the majority of audiences or customers, built a museum in Hollywood!(3) Lipstick, lip gloss, Foundation, Powder, Nail polish, Eye liner and eye shadow are some of famous and popular cosmetics in the world.

Crisis of Beauty
Today in many countries especially in Third-World countries Beauty is one of the disputable discussion, in the countries that have religious limitation also conditions are more confuting because women are limited for make up for men (just their family) religiously. So this limitation in addition of watching beauty western model in available media like photo, internet or satellite, resulted to make big paradox for young people especially women. They try to make them beautiful as same as Models! Maybe they think they have to do anything for being like them! This news is for the people who think are not as nice as American ladies! The Americans also spend a lot of money for their beauty! So this is the time that we have to think “Why we run? For who? For what?" When all of this beauty is Colour!

Practice of Violence in American Life




Review on UCLA police reactions with Student and American foreign reactions in the world



“Stand up or you’ll get Tasered again!”(1) They shouted this sentence in terrible atmosphere in the lab of UCLA University. The students didn’t believe this event! Who can believe one migrate student would punish with electric shock, just for didn’t show ID card to community service officers? The officers who were conducting a random chick; although watch of these violent behaviors are not so new in American academic instructions but five time getting Taser shocks to one 23- year- old student is not simply event! We made awarded of some terrible events like taking Hostage (McClendon, 2006) @ (Pitcher @ Poland, 1992) and attack to teachers (Cohen, 2002) in American schools, sometimes. But hitting one student by Police because of ordinary fault is important question for some ethnic groups and campaigns (2)! One of possible answers to these questions is obvious belief: “Violence is American as Cherry pie.”
I want to conceder this belief in frame of violence in American society, American violence abroad and at home! I think violence and use of it for some target, illegal usage (crimes in schools and streets) or legal usage in American foreign policy (in wars), have made situation for another use of violence, in this new situation we couldn’t objected of violent behavior on ethnic groups, because this culture annoyed all of the sorts of American citizens, even far from of the country.
"The World Health Organization in 2002 brought out a report on violence and health that concludes with specific recommendations on how societies can prevent violence." (3) This report and the proposal of Irvin Waller are good studies about violence in America.

Taste it! It is a part of Life!
“Injury inflicted by deliberate means.” This is a definition of violence that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggested (4), the Federal Bureau of Investigation further classifies violence resulting in homicide, into criminal homicide and justifiable homicide (5).
These definitions sometimes are quested in events that have appearing function, like War. For example about Iraq War, "that a growing number of American citizens in coalition nations have urged their governments to withdraw from and they afraid of it has became another Vietnam War "(6). So a lot of "Americans believe that the current strategy causes unnecessary deaths and injuries of coalition and Iraqi troops, as well as civilian contractors, and not adequately meet the insurgent threat "(11). Violent behaviors that acted in Iraq prisons also have fallowed some objections of Americans.
So this state of violence is in front of American’s Eyes questionable! Another statistics about violence is in schools of America;" from July1, 1999, through June30, 2000, there were 32 school- associated violent deaths in the United States. Twenty- four of these violent deaths were homicides and eight were suicides "(7). Student are not single target of these crimes, annually, "over the 5- year period from 1998 to 2002, teachers were the victims of approximately 234,ooo total nonfatal crimes at school, including 144,000 thefts and 90,000 violent crimes (rape, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault) senior high school and middle/junior high school" (8) @ (9). Rather than this appearing form of violence we could see another kind of it in beauty forms for the people! A highly debated topic is the influence of violent content in popular media such as film, television, music and video games. Violence makes many appearances in these, much to the displeasure of parents and politicians. This experience of violence created new discussion that is named: Aestheticization of violence (10). Video and computer games as Andrew Darley said (2000: 23) make "a new and significant mass culture form" and enter of violent stories as subject for play supply "real" arena of life for audiences.
This is the clear portray of violence that comes everywhere and shadows on some part of American culture, you might realize it or not, But it is existence; Americans experience it for some form:
Violence at home: as I said they faced it a lot, although my focus is on academic places but this selection could be main example of extension of violence in deep layers of American society!
Violence in abroad: making this opinion that Violence is a legal instrument for expending peace in the world even it is faced to some objections!
Violence in unclear form: After September11, Americans faced to the new kind of events out of their control, so this belief was extended between them that they have strange enemy and all of the world are against them (11)! This strategy with name of “War on Terror” conceived people that any kind of reaction with any stage of violent would be happen for protecting! So the threat of unclear enemy in the world, created unclear form of violence! In this situation some of reactions with supposed enemy are not called violence; they are named "War on terror"!

Take it easy
“Here’s your patriot act…your…abuse of power!” shouted Mostafa Tabatabainejad, using profanity after screaming out in anguished pain from the electric jolts of a police Taser (12). There are some points in this story. One American- born student that came originally from Iran, Trased by UCLA police for didn’t showing his ID, but how this mistake could answer with this reaction? "Lawyer of Tabatabainejad said there was sign that he was targeted because of his ethnicity although the other student disagreed. Civil rights attorney Stephen Yagman announced separately that he plans to file a lawsuit charging that the American- born Tabatabainejad was singled out because of his Middle Eastern appearance (13). Here is not place for discussing details of this event; I want just say that the violence so expended in American cultures that proving the clime of Tabatabainejad's lawyer becomes confused! When the violence is going to be one of American cultural elements, what is the meaning of our proposes about questing ethnicity roots? I think every thing is clear!

Exceptionalist Position of CNN in Covering News Reports:



Pop Benedict XVI remarks and Muslims reactions
Fatima Kamali Chirani


"The medieval emperor's "negative words" did not "express my personal convictions'". (1) This is Pope Benedict XVI talks, thirteen day after his remarks about Muslims. The Pop's speech and Muslim's reactions was so important for American popular media, CNN, that at least nine news reports concerned them. The regarded point in this events, is a remarkable portray of violate Muslim's reactions, CNN not only transformed Pop's remarks about "spreading' Islam 'by the sword. "(2) several time, but also created a violate space by explaining fire-bombed Christian places and Muslims' treatments to change their relations with West. So this style of writing news in CNN is a meaningful style in making a knowledgeable and correct portray of Christianity (American Religion), and Violate, illogical and unknowledgeable portray of Islam.
I am going to consider the CNN news reports, twenty days after Pop's remarks on Islam and Violence, in the frame of American exceptionalism, because this explanation of Muslim reactions and Christianity violated target is new explanation of "we" and "others" in American minds (Shafer, 1991:105). The belief of "City upon a Hill" led Americans look at other religions contempt full. Robert Wuthnow (1998) works into the condition of American religious structure since World War II. An extremely penetrating, nuanced, largely convincing account of what is really happening to American religion and an account worthy of comparison is in this book. Studying this book is a good way for understanding how Americans look at themselves as religious people. The other attempts were done in this field by Peter W. Williams (1999) and Jeff Haynes (1998). Another attempt is about Media function in global process, written by James Curran in 2002. Finally Deborah L Madison has a good investigation about American exceptionalism (1998) that is a good reference for my essay.

Old roots of American Exceptionalism
Before I beginig my discussion, I have to consider some important concepts, I think going to these arena, American exeptionalism and its puritan roots is useful for continuing this discussion about American news work on Pop's remarks about Muslims. American exeptionalism has been historically referred to as the perception that the United States differs qualitatively from other developed nation, because of its unique origins, national credo, historical evolution and distinctive political and religious institutions. The term was first used by Alexis de Tocqueville in 1831. (3) Although factors like The American Revolution and Republicanism, World War II, immigration and the availability of resources, and the Cold War had had influence on expressing American exceptionalism, in this subject my focus is on its Puritan roots. If we notice the American history, we find that Christian religion parallels the attempt to structure colonies, had important influence on American cultural Identity and this process had direct connection with forming American exceptionalism.(L Madsen, 1998: 16 @ 17). So this Religion in New world had a special form; the earliest ideologies of English colonists in the country were embodied by the Protestantism of puritan settlers of New England. Many Puritans with American leanings embraced a middle ground between strict Calvinist predestination and a less restricting theology of Divine Providence. They believed God had mad a covenant with their people and had chosen them to lead the other nations of the earth. One Puritan leader, John Winthrop, metaphorically expressed this idea as a "City upon a Hill", that the puritan community of New England should serve as a model community for the rest of the world. This metaphor is often used by proponents of exceptionalism (4). In The American Promise this subject is titled by "Church, Covent, and Conformity"(L Roark and others,2000:112@ 113), this part explained how Winthrop and three other men signed the original convent of first Boston Church in 1630, and this convent became a base for American society and politic. The puritan's deep morality values remained part of the national identity of the United States for centuries, remaining influential to the present day (5). Although in the late twentieth century the protestant church control over the larger culture in America became more but, a brief revisiting of the two non- protestant traditions previously discussed will begin to illustrate how the pragmatic approach to religion associated with Puritanism now coming to expression in other traditions. At numerous catholic colleges and universities in the United States, interpretation of meaning of Catholic spirituality has become less otherworldly and more pragmatic since the 1960s (W.Williams, 1999:88). So it seems that Christianity with all of its traditions becomes a part of American identity, and it is an important factor for priding and feeling proud of exceptionality from others.

American exceptionalism in Covering News Report in CNN
In September 15, 2006, Pope Benedict XVI at the University of Regensburg in Germany quoted 14th-century Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus. "God," the emperor, as the pope quoted, said, "is not pleased by blood -- and not acting reasonably is contrary to God's nature." A transcript of Pope's remarks obtained by The Associated Press television network reads: "In the seventh (sura, or chapter of the Quran), the emperor comes to speak about jihad, holy war "(6). So this event resulted in to some Muslims reactions in the world.
Some western media covered these events to the entire world; CNN which is one of the most important agencies in the world (especially in America) also did it. There are some important points in the style and policy of CNN news about these events.
First of all, prioritizing new objectives in CNN; according to James Curran discussion two liberal objectives are important in every media policy- watchdog oversight, information, debate and representation facilitate the expression of conflict and difference, and social conciliation assistance.(2002:239) So it seems these two objectives were under the American interests, American exceptionalism in "Pop's remarks and Muslim's reactions" news. First objective for explaining some the challenge between Islam religion as "other religion", and Pop's position as "self religion". Second making an innocent, knowledgeable and right portray of pop reactions to show American religion the right statue in the world.
Second, using some words for explaining Muslims, reactions that are reminiscent of Violence. I mean CNN not only transformed Pop's remarks about the existence of basic violence in Islam affairs, every time in reports, but also portrayed a kind of violence in Muslim reactions, that acknowledged Pop's remarks in audience eyes.
In September 15, 2006, reactions like "condemning his remarks", "provoking street protests", "ambassador", "gathering 100 demonstrators in an anti-Vatican protest", "expressed anger" and "marched in cities" are attributed to Muslims, when these pictures are completed with an explosion in Christianity place! "Meanwhile, a youth center run by the Greek Orthodox Church in the Gaza Strip was slightly damaged by a small explosion on Friday, witnesses told Reuters. It was unclear if the blast was connected to pope's comments."(7) Although in these sentences, Muslims are not responsible for blasting, bringing them, just after Muslims objections to Christian Leader's remarks, has meaning for audiences!
In September 16, 2006, CNN explained Pop's sadness about offended Muslims, "Pope Benedict XVI has said he is "very upset" that his speech on Islam offended Muslims and expressed his respect for their faith, according to the Vatican."(8) so in this narrative we could see the process that Christian leader express his upset about Muslims misunderstanding, but CNN didn't stay on this state and talked about a group that accepted responsibility of " fire- bombed in West bank". Although this information about the group "Lions of Monotheism" was acknowledge with "Palestinian security and secret sources" but CNN used it three times in News of 7:49 and 11:36 in september16, and September 17, 2006! (9)
In September 17, 2006, CNN entitled his report with this sentence: "Pope 'deeply sorry' for Muslim fury" and started it: "Pope Benedict XVI has said he is "deeply sorry" for the reaction to his comments on Islam and that he quoted a medieval text about holy wars did not reflect his personal thoughts."(10) In this news bolded blends "churches in West Bank fire-bombed". the audience in this created space is faced to reactions of Muslims in one hand and regret of Christian leader from this reactions on the hand, I mean we could see violate actions "Fire- bombed" in parallel to Pop's explanation about his remarks, "spreading Islam by the sword"!
"Pope invites Muslim envoys to meeting" this title in September 23, 2006 is enough for challenging between Pop and Muslims!(11) The religious leader invited another religion's followers to calm. This style of covering news, in fact attributed opposite meaning of calm and meeting to this followers: Violence!
Finally CNN with this title finished this tragedy in September 25, 2006:" Pope: 'Total and profound respect for Muslims'". (12) This title with flowing of artistic narratives of CNN has some meanings, one important meaning could be Pop's performance to turn off the fire, turn off the Violence that was done by Muslims and the danger that threatened Christian places!

American Religion Is a calm Message
CNN position in transforming and representing this event is a clear position of American Exceptionalism. CNN used this event as implement for belittling Islam "the others religion" as in violence and illogical religion, and Keeping Christianity ward as victim of violence and leader of dialogue and calm messenger. This process make right position of Pop, Christian Leader on Public opinions and it is in parallel of American interests, American Policy not only was noticed by audience outside of the American land but also a variety of religions in America are his target, too. According to Jeff Haynes (1998:37), Islam is the swiftest growing religion in the United states and in the early 1990s there were between three and five million Muslims in the USA (Gardell, 1996:48,Nyang, 1998:520), so American policy for keeping his ward in Exceptionalist roots, try to represent the Christianity faith in public rostrum, influenced media like CNN.

Bush's Faithfully to Jewish Power


"NOW, THEREFORE, I GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States do hereby proclaim May 2006 as Jewish American Heritage Month. I call upon all Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities that honor the significant contributions Jewish Americans have made to our Nation" (1) he proclaimed it when he was between Jewish American in twenty first day of April in 2006. This is not first time that Bush remarks Jewish, he several times during his presidential tanks them because of their serve to America. (2@3)
The Jewish’s Child
"American is a best land for poor people." This is a one of the favorite motto that was prevalent in eighteen century in Philadelphia. This energized motto seeks a lot of immigrants to New World! (4) Immigrants that go to America were from of any religion Christianity, Jewish, Islam, Buddhism and etc. Although Christianity especially Puritan has had important role for forming American nation (5) but always Jewish religion has been main minority between the other religions! Although an opinion is claimed that Jewish people has had painful life during the history but their strong influence in economic structure is not deniable! I mean the Jewish could fix their situation in the world with every difficulty. One the important centers for Jewish has been America, this seat is so strengthened that some politic experts believe:" Jewish is America's Child." or another experts believe:" America is Jewish's Child"!
The Owner of Money, the Owner of Minds
Dr. Ferdoss, the professor of Indiana university in the meeting about Congress Election in America said that The American Jewish lobbies have strong influence in American Policy especially in American candidness!(6) He said that the economic power of Jewish resulted dominate of main instructions like Media, so this possibility cause to influence on Americans mass opinion." So we could see that how Jewish accessed to American Policy easily!
Faithfully or Dependence
Regard to American Jewish could not be just for respect to immigrants, he not only owe to Jewish for his situation but also American situation is dependence to Jewish 's decisions! "Proclaim May 2006 as Jewish American Heritage Month" is symbolic act for showing Bush's faithfully to Jewish power.
