Position: The war in Iraq should be supported by every American citizen.

Thesis: While there are still American soldiers fighting in Iraq to stop the spread of terrorism, spread freedom, spread democracy, protect the vulnerable oil supply and fix the ideological struggle, the war in Iraq should be supported by all Americans.

Evidence:
The first paragraph will tell about what would happen to the country of Iraq if US soldiers were to pull out before the Iraqi government and army can support its self. Iraq is leaning its self on the US support and they need any help they can get to help the country running. If the soldiers that are already in Iraq and the ones getting ready to deploy quit and went home then the whole war would be a waste.

If U.S. forces give up the fight in the streets of Baghdad, President Bush says, Americans will face terrorist attacks at home.

President Bush says the security of the civilized world depends on defeating terrorists in Iraq.
The next reason I will discuss is the spread of freedom and democracy to the Iraqi people.
“No matter what your ideals are, our sons and daughters are fighting for our freedom,”

Another reason is to protect and secure Iraq’s oil supply because it supplies the American economy with oil and it is also very important in the re-establishment of Iraq.

"There is an incredible natural resource available to the Iraqi people to help them reestablish their society, and we will work to make sure it's available, and that a significant environmental disaster is not inflicted,"

The last topic I will discuss is fixing the ideological problem in Iraq.

He says it is the decisive ideological struggle of the 21st Century.

"On one side are those who believe in freedom and moderation - the right of all people to speak, worship and live in liberty. On the other side are those driven by tyranny and extremism - the right of a self-appointed few to impose their fanatical views on all the rest,"

Audience: Any person who does not support the war in Iraq and thinks that the government should pull out right now without finishing the job.

Try not to just argue ideals. Make sure you include some sort of factual information about the "troop surge," etc. Other than that this looks fine and I'm interested to see where the argument goes.

I disagree with the fact that the US is staying in Iraq to secure the oil supply for American purposes.

I also disagree with the fact that the US needs the spread democracy to the Iraqi people.

I disagree with spreading of freedom and democracy to the Iraqi people. It is not in America's place to say that Iraq needs to be a Democratic country. Most of the citizens in Iraq do not want Democracy and they want an immediate withdrawal. The idealogical problems stated later on in the brief are caused by religious conflicts. The Shiite and Sunni Muslims will not agree to subjects in a Democratic government and it will cause more conflicts between the two groups because neither groups would be able to agree on an issue to get it passed through legislature.

I mistakenly said that I disagreed that US is protecting Iraq's Oil supply, but they are protecting it for the America's own gains instead of in the interests of Iraq.
