Resolved: On balance, the United States was justified in going to war with Iraq
The resolution is stated above.
The BOP is on my opponent to prove why intervening was justified, which he shall begin in Round 1. To prevent a disadvantage, my opponent cannot post anything short of a rhetorical statement for the last round.
Justified- Legally, economically, morally, or politically correct.
Good luck!
Iraq War
The first round is acceptance followed by one round of case building no rebutting the opponents argument. I will be arguing to end the Iraq war while the opponent must give reason to stay in the Iraq war. Good luck...
The Iraq War was justified
Iraq War--The 2003 invasion of Iraq by the 'Coalition of the Willing'.
Justified--Having, done for, or marked by a good or legitimate reason
There Never Should Have Been An Iraq War
Here are my following arguments: 1: We invaded because we thought there were "weapons of mass destruction" but, if that was the only reason we invaded Iraq why don't we invaded every country that we know has weapons of mass destruction. 2: There are nonviolent ways of winning. My example: President Regan in the 1980's, he created an arms race that he knew would bankrupt the Soviets and they did, and he defeated America's #1 enemy without firing a single shot. So why didn't we do that instead? 3:...
Is the war in Afghanistan and Iraq (in essance, even the whole 'war against terrorism' a religious w
Greetings to my opponent. Good luck and have fun, keep 'er clean. Just to clarify, I am stating that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are, indeed religious conflicts between the Islamic peoples and the 'Christian infidels' of the West. As such, my resolution will also state that the entire affair is born back to the Crusades, in which the disputes over Jerusalem and the Holy Land cost many lives and stirred many sentiments. In fact, this was made quite clear when Husseim stated that h...
The War in Iraq
In this debate Con will argue that the War in Iraq is wrong. Pro will have to argue the war in Iraq is just and right.
I will start this debate off by making a few points
• War can never be a moral act, not even as a "last resort." In the best case, war is a necessary evil.
• The war in Iraq does not qualify as a just war, conforming to a set of principl...
The Iraq War has been a success.
The Iraq War has been a success. Plain and simple. To deny this statement, one would either have to be ignorant or find pleasure in disregarding the truth. Allow me to explain why this war is successful: First and foremost, Saddam Hussein, a homicidal maniac who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people, is dead. Saddam's sons, Uday and Qusay, the ones who ran the rape and torture chambers, are dead. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is dead. Abu Laith al-Libi, a top al Qaeda leader, is dead. Muammar Ga...
Iraq war/Afghanistan War/War on Terror
I believe it was right to go into iraq and it is right to stay the course. I also believe that things are improving in Iraq due to the troop surge under the charge of General Patreus. I believe that it is right to destroy the terrorist cells on their own turf because if not they would have more training camps and a wider support base. I know that we are helping innocent Iraqis who want to make a better life for their families. I believe that the majority of Iraqis want a free society where they...
the war in iraq is not our war and obama should end it and bring our troops back
the war in iraq would not exist if president bush was not an idiot because iraq was one of the only countries in the middle east not to plan the attack we should not be forcing a way of life on those who do not wish for our way and if this war dose not end soon it will not end for a hundred years because it is a fight we cannot win and a fight that has no true purpose. we should be fighting one of the countries that actually bomed us. bush is using the bombing as an excuse to go to iraq....
War in Iraq
I support the Iraq war. We need to settle business with the middle east and this is a good way to do it. Each U.S. death is worth it....
