Fed up

I'm trying to tackle this ridiculous debate. I'm supposed to argue for the Iraq war, I'm supposed to find arguments that we were right to enter into it.

If you can't understand the reasoning of the opposition, how can you expect them to understand the reasoning of your own?

Make excuse that we don't appreciate that oil is needed for our iPods and airplanes, and that it is in America's best interest to maintain a presence in the middle-east lest a culture that represents everything we are against (slack, a quality of community and life with a minimum of labor) that we Westerner's abhor. End with a reminder that though our genocides have been mocked and touted as racist empirialism or colonialism in the past, given time we have succeeded at controlling natural

Lol I was honestly thinking about taking that stance ^ ^ It would have been funny but my speech teacher would have been bored and disappointed in my apparent sarcasm. I'm sure she would hate losing the chance to drill me with the one sided questions she uses. Its true though, America needs outsourcing other countries to compensat for its laziness.
