 Con Debate Description 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 principles that have evolved among civilized societies. A just cause should not be confused with a just war. • This War has had corrosive effects on our Constitutional rights. It has brought out the worst in our presidents, vice-presidents, and attorney generals who are tempted to take shortcuts. • This War has selectively and profoundly disrupted the lives of more than a million family members across the United States. There have been more than 4,400 U.S. Troop Casualties. Which is roughly 1200 more deaths then that in the trade center bombings. • Spent & Approved War Spending = about $900 billion of US taxpayers' funds spent or approved for spending through November 2010. Rules: [1] Forfeiting of rounds 1 through 3 will constitute a loss of all 7 points. [2] Forfeiting round 4 will constitute a complete loss to this debate I will ask that my opponent make his arguments in a timely manner and leave out arguments based on wordplay or definitions. =Sources= http://usliberals.about.com...

Con To my opponent, you have not addressed any of the points made by myself in round 1. Your only argument "killing people is a fun sport while in War" is an ignoramus insult to any one intelligent that debates topics on this site. From this point on I will simply post sources to prove my point. I will not engage in a argument with someone that lacks ethical demeanor and, moral content. =Sources= http://work.colum.edu... Pro Opponnent is a tool with pseudo-intelligence and would probably be very boring if you hung out with him. This topic has been done several times before, no one gives a poop! Therefore, vote pro! War is sport! |

Pro First one is from 2003. 2nd one is from 2005. It is the year 2011, try to keep up. Sources are dated and so is this topic. Vote Pro! |

Reasons for voting decision: Could have been a good debate if Pro actually tried. Giving all 7 points to Con because Pro had literally no arguments and resorted to annoyance instead
Con wins
"Getting Older sucks noodles"
"Having a penis is better than having a vagina"
"Queen's bohemian rhapsody is pretentious garbage"
