What is the relationship between conservative ideals and international relations? In what ways does the political climate reflect or respond to the real or perceived threats of terrorist activities? Consider the 80s, 90s, and present day in your response.

Conservative ideals can clash with international relations. Generally, conservative ideals don't welcome interventions from the outside. The political climate can immobilize terrorist threats if the administration is mostly on the same side. The opposition can hinder the progress of anti-terrorist programs just for the sake of undermining the administration.
