Bring our Troops Home!

Paper Summary:

The author contends that in the Iraqi situation, death and destruction have occurred needlessly. For this reason, the author invites listeners to an anti-war rally to bring the troops home from Iraq now and to protest further U.S. involvement in Iraq. The author's speech includes why he/she believes the war in Iraq is without merit and why it cannot possibly meet its stated objectives.

From the Paper:

"In March 2003, George W. Bush, the president of the United States, and Tony Blair, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, demanded that Saddam Hussein and his family leave Iraq (Rourke 138). Also, Bush and Blair required Iraq to disarm its army (Rourke 138). Iraq denied these orders, and the coalition power including the U.S. and the U.K. declared war on Iraq. When declaring war, President Bush and Prime Minister Blair proclaimed that they had solid evidence that Iraq had been trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons (Rourke 138)."
