1. Introduction A. Attention Getter: War in Iraq video B. Statement of Purpose: My name is Jessi Kaur and my partner Iman and I believe that The United States would be vastly better off as a politically neutral country. C. Defining: Before I get into the contentions, I would like to make sure you know what “politically neutral” means.
Bush, addressed the nation, and announced the War on Terror. Only days after 9-11, congress authorized the use of all forces by any means necessary. For the first time in history, NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, evoked Article 5, the commitment that if there is an attack on one member; nation, it is an attack on all. On September 20, 2001, The President, delivered an ultimatum to the Taliban government of Afghanistan to deliver Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaeda leaders. The Taliban countered demanding proof linking them to the attacks.
How does the U.S. justify our current status with Iraq (why are we still there?) The United States justified its involvement in Iraq by saying that we are preventing more future damage that can be done by the terrorists. We are still in Iraq because he do not want another uprising of a terrorist as bad as Saddam
Apart from that fact, it is objectionably inhumane for us to “play God” and decide whose lives we are justified to take. The Green Party takes a unified stand in opposition to the war in Iraq. This viewpoint is diametrical to that of the Republicans, who claim that the war is necessary and that it is reassembling our world as one free from terrorism. The Democrats, on the other hand, stand somewhere between these two parties and haven’t wholly decided their feeling on the Iraqi
If we are to deal effectively with terrorists across the globe, we must develop a sense of empathy—I don't mean "sympathy," but rather "understanding"—to counter their attacks on us and the Western World. 10. One of the greatest dangers we face today is the risk that terrorists will obtain access to weapons of mass destruction as a result of the breakdown of the Non-Proliferation Regime. We in the U.S. are contributing to that
In agreement with Samuel Johnson, Samuel Seabury also states that getting away from the British will not be beneficial to us. Seabury claims that staying under British rule will cause no injury to America and that if we were to get away from under their control they would only turn on us as enemies. It may be true that the British will turn on us, my fellow New Yorkers, but it is time for us to
He had blamed Iraq for starting the war. He had told Americans that “we had not asked for this present challenge, but we accept it. And like other generations of Americans, we will meet the responsibility of defending human liberty against violence and aggression”. President Bush had blamed Saddam Hussein to be a dictator. He had blamed Iraq to be holding terrorists, he had made America believe that Iraq had been under Saddam Hussein’s clutches and that whatever he had to say was law.
English 101: Composition The United States vs. Iran In my honest opinion, Iran is really not a threat to the United States. This whole nuclear weapon talk has been going on for a while and needs to cease. Therefore, I feel as if the United States should bomb Iran, get it over with, and try to take all of the oil. Why bomb Iran you may think, well if we don’t bomb them they could bomb us. It doesn’t have to be an atomic bomb, but just a bomb to show Iran we are not playing.
We define terrorism as using force to influence or change a political decision. Given that there may be an array of situations the U.S. government and the American people are faced with on a daily basis, most would probably agree in saying that terrorism is the most imperative issue we are not only becoming victims to , but are asked to deal with as well as finding a solution for. Many questions have been raised such as can we make a world a safe place? Can people not eradicate other people and live united? Can there be no terrorism and no terrorists?
It does "damage to our country's image" and undermines our credibility in Iraq.” (Applebaum) It undermines the work of our soldiers that are helping make Iraq into a country ruled by its people instead of a dictator. The use of torture robes them of their dignity and makes them into another oppressive force in a war torn country. Where did all this begin? America has always been the defender of the oppressed and downtrodden. We as a people are the defenders of freedom.
