Few people would have any doubt about the United States being a country of Christianity. In fact, there are various kinds of religion in the country, where the three major religions of the world exist side by side. In addition, there are various sects within the Christian religion.

The end of the Cold War and the disaggregation of USSR inevitably made Central Asia a strategically important region because of its rich resources of oil and gas big powers long to seize. Although Russia still considers Central Asia her strategic backyard, this region has actually become temporarily a “power vacuum” because Russia can no longer maintain its traditional hold there. Thus a chance for the United States to lay a hand on Central Asia is presented. A strategy of Central Asia is therefore designed to suit the global strategies of the United States in response to the eastward expansion of NATO and the needs to reinforce the US military treaty with Japan. The author concludes that the United States has strengthened its political, economic and military involvement in Central Asia, expecting to become the sole judge for affairs in that region.

In the United States of America where the system of check and balance is observed the major role of the Congress is legislation. However, more cases of the Congress interfering into policy making in areas of foreign affairs are found after the cold war. This is clearly indicated in the complex course of China U.S. relation. On the surface it appears that the American government and U.S. Congress do not see eye to eye over foreign affairs. But in reality this phenomenon serves the interest of American foreign policy better and actually there exists no substantial conflicts between the two.
