American Involvment in Middle East Peace

I will start by rebutting my opponent's claims... My opponent stands by her claim that since America treats some of its ethnic minorities unfairly, we have no place in this world to promote justice and equality. However, simply because we have problems doesn't mean we have no place to help. Just because I am a fat lazy person who sits on his couch eating McDonald's everyday doesn't mean I don't have any place to not promote healthy lifestyle choices and exercise to other people. Why? Because making healthy lifestyle choices and exercising are good, they are essential to your health. Similarly, just because one nation doesn't always give its citizens justice and equality doesn't mean that it shouldn't promote justice and equality throughout the world, especially if they have the military muscle to do so. It might make us look hypocritical, but it doesn't make justice any less just or equality any less equal. My opponent claims that American involvement in the Middle East has "strings attached". My opponent basically claims that the American military came into the region to cause friction between Jews and Arabs. However, conflict between Jews and Arabs in this region of the world has been going on for thousands of year (long before America was even around!). Americans came into the region to ride the world of terrorists, the "friction" my opponent speaks of is nothing more than malicious anti-war Media bias. The only reason this "friction" is happening now is because video cameras are there to capture it. It was there before the cameras got there, and hopefully it will be gone when they leave. Question to my opponent: If the United States Government is only trying to promote its interests, than why don't they launch massive propaganda to swing the American public to favor of the War? After all, if the public was on our side I'm sure the war would work much better. My opponent claims that if America was truly trying to help ride the region of terrorist they would offer a small task force to help the Iraqi government. I explained in Round 1 about the Iraq War. Don't make me do it again. The Iraq War came in two parts, the part where we overthrew the government and the part where we rebuilt the nation. The part where we overthrew the government was when all the damage happened, I mean its kind of hard to overthrow a government if you try to preserve there infrastructure, isn't it? What we are doing in Iraq now is rebuilding the nation and government, and ensuring that terrorist do not capture this new government. Our presence is completely justified. My opponent believes that our soldiers are dying in vain as we speak. So establishing a democratic government in Iraq is not a noble cause? =========== CLOSING =========== Once America establishes a democratic government in Iraq, the people of the Middle East will demand freedom and justice. This will spread like wild fire throughout the region, and pretty soon it will be brimming with wealth and opportunity. Since terrorism is the result of failed nations, terrorist would fail to exist because no failed nations would exist. The prevention of terrorism will prevent the loss of life, in America and the Middle East. That is why we must stay.
