Ever since September 11th, there has been poor judgment and treatment toward people of Middle Eastern descent. From hate crimes and racial profiling, to maybe being denied some of their rights as well. In the article “Obama defends plan to build mosque near ground zero,” there is controversy to whether Muslims should be allowed to build a mosque near ground zero. The first amendment of the United States Constitution grants freedom of religion; therefore, Muslims have every right to build a mosque near ground zero. Although the 911 attacks were made by Islamic terrorists, the whole Muslim community shouldn’t be punished.
On these three occassions, Russia and China vetoed these resolutions as they claimed Syria is a sovereign state and no one has the right to interfere in its internal affairs. In conclusion the UN has proved to be effective in promoting state sovereignty and protecting the integrity of syria by not allowing invasion because as Russia and China correctly claim a foreign invasion would destroy the country completely, killing millions of people and spread the war to neighbouring countries, namely lebanon and iraq. With the conflict that has happened in syria and the accusations that the assad government has faced such as the use of chemical weapons on his people, there has been much debate on whether the United States should launch a unilateral military attack on syria. The fundamental rule of contemporary international law is that states cannot attack other states. The U.N. Charter embodies this rule and makes only two exceptions to it: a state can attack another state if it is authorised to do so by a security council resolution, or if the attacking state is
Model Essay Student’s Name Section Number Why the Atomic Bombs Saved Japan. The decision to use nuclear weapons to stop the War in the Pacific by President Harry S. Truman in August, 1945 remains controversial to this day. Most of Truman’s critics, the so-called revisionist historians, argue that Japan wanted to surrender and had already been defeated, making the use of atomic bombs unnecessary. They say the bombs were used mainly to demonstrate America’s power to intimidate the Soviet Union. The historians who support Truman, sometimes called the traditionalists, agree that Japan had been defeated but argue that Japan was not ready to surrender and was, in fact, preparing for one last great battle that would have cost millions of lives.
Throughout his whole speech, he uses an anger and disparaging tome to reflect Bush’s point of view. Overall, George Bush uses emotional appeal, metaphors, and tone to portray Al Qaeda as iniquitous freedom haters which persuades the audience to recognise his contention and accept his point of view. Americans are depicted as victims of war from the September 11th terrorist incident with George Bush’s speech. An anecdote is used in the first paragraph to portray this: “...Americans have known the casualties of war--but not at the centre of a great city on a peaceful morning. Americans have known surprise attacks—but never before on thousands of civilians.
Why America Should Stop Policing the World? There are two clearly defined sides to this question. One side would like to see America take a state of neutrality when it comes to overseas intervention. This side includes the anti-war protestors and critics questioning the recent war on Iraq. They say that America should let other countries worry about their own problems, because Americans already have enough problems to agonize over.
40 passengers and crew died. Motive Al-Qaeda was created in 1989 from Arab volunteers and is opposed to all non-Islamic governments. It was lead by Osama Bin Laden. They specifically wished to drive America from Saudi Arabia which they considered to be very holy as Mecca and Melina are here. They will challenge non-Islamic governments in anyway, including force.
In this essay, Carol Cohn illustrates her concern towards the use of domestic imagery by male nuclear strategists in the United States during the late 1980’s. By domestic imagery, Cohn means using “nuclear warfare- based” language, and having it pertain to the home, family or household affairs. For example, “RVs” is a short term that was used to describe “reentry vehicles” which dropped nuclear explosives. Cohn’s objection to this use of domestic imagery has to do with associating a bomb that can incinerate whole cities, with the image of recreational vehicles used for family vacations. Cohn does not agree with this parallel because it allows the nuclear strategists to be completely “removed from the reality of a bomb.” By this, she means the men do not associate these nuclear bombs with the real world or the damage that could potentially be done to it.
Nebojsa Sarkanovic Mr. Pletsch CLN-4UI December 21, 2012 The PATRIOT ACT: A Danger To Society “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever” (George Orwell, 1984). The United States of America is place outsiders look at as a land of freedom and opportunity; a safe haven for democracy and liberty. Unfortunately theses promises seem to be empty. In a country whose citizens demand both freedom and protection, the government has not been able to sufficiently meet its people’s needs. On September 11th, 2001, an extremist terrorist organization attacked the USA.
It is a wide held belief that this symbol is beyond the reaches of civil protest and should be worshipped like a deity. The United States Supreme Court has ruled differently about this and the next three court cases will explain why. The first court case that will be discussed is Street v. New York. In 1968 the Supreme Court heard a case in which the defendant, Sydney Street was so outraged over the attempted murder of a civil rights leader, James Meredith and the lack of police investigation of the crime; he burned an American flag in protest and stated “"Yes; that is my flag; I burned it. If they let that happen to Meredith, we don't need an American flag (Street, 2013).” It was against the law in New York to desecrate or speak against the flag; he was arrested, charged, and convicted.
America when will we end the human war? Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb I don't feel good don't bother me. I won't write my poem till I'm in my right mind…”(“America”) The passage gives evidence of Allen Ginsberg’s emotions which are directed in a spite towards America, one example found with the statement, “…America when will we end the human war, Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb… “. This is a clear and powerful line full of anger towards America’s bombing of Hiroshima, which in turn also displays Ginsberg’s ethical views on the matter. Furthermore, the line, “…America two dollars and twenty-seven cents January 17th, 1956…”, may
