Document Content and Description Below

Sophia – US History II – Milestone 4 Final 1 Read the excerpt from an address to Congress made by President George W. Bush articulating the Bush Doctrine in 2001: "Our response involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated strikes. Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign unlike any other we have ever seen. . . We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place until there is no refuge or no rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime." Which organization was President Bush most likely referring to when using the word "terrorists?"  Al-Qaeda  Hezbollah  Saddam Hussein  ISIS CONCEPT 9/11 and the War on Terror 2 Read the excerpt from a speech Ronald Reagan gave to the National Association of Evangelicals in 1983: "Let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness—pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the state, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the Earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world." According to the excerpt, why did President Reagan refer to the Soviet Union as “the focus of evil in the modern world?”  Because the Soviet Union threatened nuclear war  Because the Soviet Union rejected Christian values  Because the Soviet Union accused the United States of imperialism  Because the Soviet Union claimed global dominion RATIONALE Throughout his administration, Reagan referred to the Soviet Union as an “evil empire” that advanced a set of values antagonistic to the Christian values of the United States. According to this excerpt, one of those values advanced by the Soviet Union is atheism. This is evident in the phrases “pray they will discover the joy of knowing God” and “they preach the supremacy of the state” (rather than the supremacy of God). CONCEPT The End of the Cold War 3 The AIDS crisis of the 1980s and government inaction in response to it caused organizations like ACT UP to grow. These organizations reflected the view of which of the following groups?  Doctors  Gay rights activists  The Religious Right  Yuppies CONCEPT Morning in America: The Culture Wars of the 19  Al-Qaeda  Hezbollah  Saddam Hussein
