Running head: THE RUN-UP TO THE WAR IN IRAQ Angela Johnson Professor Skolnik English 128.05 12 May 2009 Assignment # 12 Abstract The war in Iraq is believed to have started because of the attacks on the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001. After the attacks on the Pentagon and both the World Trade Centers, George Bush devised a story to tell the Americans so they would be on his side and so they wouldn’t refute his plan. Bush came on television and told Americans, “You’re either with us or against us in this fight against terror.” This was one of the tactics Bush used to reel in Americans to fight in this war against Iraq with him. Bush wanted to
Horton accuses the governing body of frequently exploiting its power in having the Justice Department instigate repression among voters. Furthermore, the lawyers who were inspecting the unlawful actions of these political criminals were quietly discharged of their duty and the incriminating evidence was concealed. The Bush administration was also spying regularly on religious and political groups in the country, while it covertly introduced a tremendously illegal surveillance program that caused conflict among senior officials in the Justice Department. Horton attributes this illicit monitoring device as the reason behind the “War on Terror” because it misleadingly revealed all of intelligence’s information on Iraq to both
The authors use the different components of persuasion throughout the article. The title itself is very gripping that catches reader’s attention. Here, the authors describe the situation in Guantanamo as a scandal. In the very first paragraph, the authors bring out the case of U.S journalists being imprisoned by North Korea in 2009 and compare it to what is going on with Guantanamo and show how the roles have reversed. The authors end the paragraph with a very thought provoking question, “Shouldn’t we Americans apply the same high minded principles to our conduct?”.
In the hours following the disaster there were feelings of confusion, disbelief and terror. When the cleared from all of the media buzz and reports surfaced, they placed the blame on Islamic extremists and explained their motives behind the attack. Now, 10 years after this historic event and a thorough amount of research questions arise about how these events actually transpired. Oswald Mosley once said “Anyone who knows how difficult it is to keep a secret among three men - particularly if they are married - knows how absurd is the idea of a worldwide secret conspiracy….“. Yet, according to a Scripps-Howard poll 36% of those asked believe that the American government performed the 9/11 attacks themselves.
Edelman also say that politicization is the creation of a state mind about what is personal or private and what is subject to open discussion and public authority. Symbols are sometimes words or statements, but sometimes we fight over symbols that are actually items. When the terrorists attacked The World Trade Center, a symbol of global American capitalism, in 2001, the public-private boundary was shifted, at the same time, for terriorists, it represented something very important because an attack on that specific building with all
Before last week, I had thought of myself as a lawyer, a feminist, a wife, a sister, a friend, a woman on the street. Now I begin to see myself as a brown woman who bears a vague resemblance to the images of terrorists we see on television and in the newspapers. I can only imagine how much more difficult it is for men who look like Mohamed Atta or Osama bin Laden." (Jolls) The aftermath of the attacks on 9/11 continue to create divisions in society to this day because of these perceptions people make. Americans that fall under presumptuous identity guidelines or personality traits of a potential bomber or hijacker have suffered socially and communication has been irreversible in our American

Running Head: FILICIDE Examination of Filicidal Mothers and Fathers, their Victims, and their Motives Anthony J. Adams Regis University, Colorado Abstract Filicide is murder and is one of many classifications of murder that focuses on the killing of children, who does it, and why. The study of filicide examines both mother and father offenders. My research will focus on the victims who died at the hands of a parent and I will attempt to identify the motive and any early warning signs. Filicide has been a part of history since the Old Testament and is present in society still today. In wealthier countries, it is viewed as an important field of study that aims to stop the filicides from occurring.
