Answer:
B. Military force is an easy way to replace an unfriendly foreign leader
Explanation:
The US has been using its military way to often as a tool of its foreign policies in the past century. While it was understandable during the Cold War, after it ended it is simply absurd. It seems that whenever the US has problems with some leader of another country where it has some interest, it employs its military, attacks the country, and takes down the unwanted leader. While some may argue that the US military has acted as peacekeeper, society builder, bringing democracy, in practice it has been the total opposite, and we have Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria to witness for it, being left in ruins, total chaos, and becoming fertile grounds for terrorist basis.

The United States bought 828,000 square miles of land from France in 1803. The French controlled this region from 1699 until 1762 when it became Spanish property because France gave it to Spain as a present, since they were allies. But under Napoleon Bonaparte, France revived the aspirations to build an empire in North America so the territory was taken back in 1800. However, those big plans were not meant to be because Napoleon needed to concentrate on preparations for war with the British Empire and so the land was sold to the United States. The price was 15 million dollars.
The purchased territory included the whole of today’s Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, parts of Minnesota and Louisiana west of Mississippi River, including New Orleans, big parts of North and northeastern New Mexico, South Dakota, northern Texas, some parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado as well as portions of Canadian provinces Alberta and Saskatchewan.
