Should the United States withdraw it's troops from Iraq?
American troops have been in Iraq for several years now. Although the defeat of Saddam and the Iraq military was relatively easy, the stabilization of the country in the aftermath has been anything but easy. Thousands of American troops have died, and Iraqi civilians continue to get caught in terrorist and cross-cultural attacks on a daily basis. The U.S. continues to progress in its attempt to help the Iraqis become politically and militarily self-sufficient, but most Democrats and much of the...
Iran presents a real threat to the welfare of the United states and the world
I believe Iran presents a true threat to the welfare of the united states and in fact the world. The reasons i present to support this statement are: 1. Nuclear Capability 2. Terrorist Funds 3. Religion 1. While there was a report that said Iran stopped pursuing nuclear weapons in 2003, there are other reports (notice it's plural) from both the US and Israel and more, that estimate Iran will have the capability to produce Nuclear Weapons (NWs) ranging from as early as 2009 to almost 2020....
I Am Not Charlie_Danger
I am just a man that knows where he lives, knows where he sleeps, and who knows what he eats. As a matter of fact, I'm looking at him now. He looks so peaceful as he sleeps. If I had a camera, I would take a picture....
Cash for crappy cars
This was going to be a great idea for for about a week but instead they had to at another 2 million dollars to it. Dealers are starting to say that people are so post to take back their cars. I found this on this web site http://uaddit.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=1205 Dealerships give customers the program's $4,500 trade-in rebates up front, then must file paperwork with the federal government to be reimbursed by stimulus dollars. Cosignatory says her dealership has not gotten any o...
The invasion of Afghanistan is justifiable.
Good morning/afternoon/evening, I would like to first thank my opponent for joining me here today/tonight for this debate and any onlookers for partially judging this debate. I would also like to eventually thank any voters who vote for me in this debate. Now my points: 1) After the 9/11 attacks the U.S. was fully justified to attack Afghanistan because it was an act of self-defence. There was viable proof that Afghanistan harbored several terrorists that conspired in the 9/11 plot, the...
Should we pull out of Iraq?
Herbert Hoover once said, "Older men declare war, but it is the youth that must fight and die." Our invasion of Iraq is unjustified we went there in search of weapons of mass destruction, but we found none, and still we are there. Its like a search warrant, you search for the things you are looking for only. We dont need to try to control another country when we can barley control our own...
The United States should immediately withdraw from Iraq.
The Iraq War is, also known as Operation Iraqi Freedom, is an on-going conflict which began on March 20, 2003. The main rationale offered for the initial invasion of the country was the suspected production of weapons of mass destruction, which, in the hands of terrorists, pose a grave threat to the United States and their allies. Now, in 2007, the debate is no longer over whether the invasion was justified or not. The controversy is now over troop withdrawal. With the country divided, which way...
That the Employee Free Choice Act of 2009 serves the best interests of the American people.
"As we enter the new millennium, the question is not whether we should fully reject or wholeheartedly embrace globalization. Instead the question is whether the disparate benefits and impacts of globalization can be reordered so that our trade agreements and labor law policies no longer serve to primarily benefit corporations at the expense of workers and communities in the U.S. and around the globe." It is because the Employee Free Choice Act can answer the question that Kate Bronfenbrenner...
Every soldier who dies in Iraq, dies in vein
I'd like to start by saying, I have the utmost respect for the soldiers who risk there lives in combat, and this is not an attack on them or our armed forces, just the fact that our attack on Iraq was unjust and under qualified. Also, I'd like to welcome anyone who is willing to take on this debate. I will take the affirmation stance. 1. There were no "WMD's" in Iraq Tyler Drumheller, the former highest-ranking CIA officer in Europe, told "60 Minutes" that the administration "chose to ignor...
UN Resolution 1674 should be invoked to stop the genocide in Gaza
‘Tis the season of peace and goodwill to all men! Well, not according to the Israelis it would seem. As Jewish Israeli families celebrate Hanukkah by feasting, exchanging gifts and generally making merry, their neighbours in Gaza, already desperately short of the basic necessities of life, are being bombarded by Israeli Air Force jets and, with no way of defending themselves, are being murdered in their hundreds every day. So while Jewish children in Israel are joyfully opening their pr...
