PLZ HELP!! To renounce one’s liberty is to renounce one’s quality as a man, the rights and also the duties of humanity. For him

who renounces everything there is no possible compensation. Such a renunciation is incompatible with man’s nature, for to take away all freedom from his will is to take away all morality from his actions. In short, a convention which stipulates absolute authority on the one side and unlimited obedience on the other is vain and contradictory. Is it not clear that we are under no obligations whatsoever towards a man from whom we have a right to demand everything? And does not this single condition, without equivalent, without exchange, involve the nullity of the act? For what right would my slave have against me, since all that he has belongs to me? His rights being mine, this right of me against myself is a meaningless phrase.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, “The Social Contract,” 1762

How does the Bush Doctrine differ from containment policy used during the Cold War?
gregori [183]
The policies of containment used during the Cold War (which were the Truman Doctrine and the Eisenhower Doctrine) both used the economy to help out other countries to stop the spread of communism.  The Eisenhower Doctrine in addition used military forces.

The Bush Doctrine is different because it actually tried to implement democracy into other countries (such as the middle east) in an attempt to stabilize the government.
