Uwarunkowania przebiegu procesu decyzyjnego w kontekście operacji irackiej

Each country aspiring to be a superpower, or already being a superpower has to, being aware of profits and losses, pursue strengthening its position on the international arena. This pursuit results not only from the will to show its power but most of all it is the necessity due to which a particular political entity has a possibility to improve its position or maintain its status quo. Without such a strive it may easily lose its position. The United States is not an exception here in spite of the way we perceive American decision makers' stance. The year 2001 was the message, whereas 2004 and 2005 was the confirmation that the time for discussions on security system ran out. Now it is necessary to create local systems in order to create a regional one. Only then we will be able to build the foundations of an effective global system. And actually decision makers must not forget about it, and scientists’ task is to remind them about it. It does not guarantee success, but if we want to finish fighting terrorists successfully, we have to act. Being passive and long discussions will not replace actions. Starting the operation in Iraq was such an action and it is not important how critically we evaluate this decision now because it was an attempt to act and therefore Americans have to be appreciated for that.
