do u think this is a good intro for a speech: topic is opposing the iraq war:
Wars: these bloody events have been occurring over centuries, as long as one can remember; World War I and II, the Vietnam War, civil wars in numerous nations and many more. Though the outcomes of these dreadful events often bring goods into the winning side, the triumph still cannot sufficiently make up for what was lost during the war: lives, homes and peace. Unfortunately, we are also living in a time of war: the war that was started by terrorism and the dreadful collapse of the twin towers of USA; the Iraq war. This war, fought on Iraq grounds almost half-way around the world, seems so far away to us, the general public, so what’s it to us that we should care? It doesn’t affect us directly and we don’t have to fight it, so why should we waste time with this? Well, it does matter. It matters that everyday soldiers are dying out there from bombing, shootings and ambushes. It matters that this war has...

...been going on for 3 years and we still have not reached an end to this catastrophe. It mattes that innocent Iraqi civilians are getting caught up into this situation they didn’t even want in the first place and are being killed. It does matter. Though the Iraq war may have been started to keep American safe from terrorists, soldiers and citizens alike are dying everyday and the war is starting to backfire; instead of bringing peace to Iraq as was the initial intention, Iraq is now on the brink of civil war; we need change. We need to peace. We need to stop this.

could u ppl plz say something about the intro, not the topic?!?!?!? ie: i have gramatical error in one of the sentence, or that i should expand more on something or stuff like that!!!! i already sent in my topic propsal, so i can't change the topic, even if i wanted to.
so PLZ say something about the speech, not the topic. plus, im not serious...its just schoolwork.

ps: is it at least kinda pursuasive yet?

Ok, after reading Adam's comments, i changed that sentence to:
It mattes that innocent Iraqi civilians are getting caught up into this situation when they’re not supposed to be the victims.
do u think that clears it up a bit more?
ps: thank u Adam person for that comment.
pps: how do u edit question? mine doesn't work...

I suggest that you listen to people who have actually been in Iraq instead of a bunch of people with political agendas who have not.
Do you really want the Iraqi people to be ruled by the people who car-bombed those college students?
Do you really want to deny the Iraqi people the democratic government they selected in UN certified elections?

I liked it clear until you said that it was something not even the Iraqis wanted. You should never say something in a speech that you don't know for sure is fact. You don't know what the Iraqis wanted, unless you read or polled all the people in Iraq at the start of the war and now, you don't know, and you should put words in their mouths. And you should keep that in mind when you write your whole speech. If the whole thing is based on fact, who can say your wrong?

"The triumph can not sufficiently make up for what was lost during the war"? Are you freaking crazy??? Are you going to tell me that WW II was worth fighting or the Civil War wasn't, how about the war of 1812 or the Revolutionary war? Don't be sophomoric or naive do some thinking about what you are going to say. You may not agree with this war but some wars ARE necessary!

Not very well thought out.
Without the Civil War which nation would you be living in right now, the Confederate States of America or the United States of America?
How did Japan's annexation of Manchuria impact on your grandparents lives? How about the "rape" of Nanking? Just how would you have responded to the attack on Pear Harbor?
What impact did Hitler's death camps have on your family, on the United States?
Is there anything you value enough to fight for?

Can't I be just a kinky adult that wants a spanking? As for what happens when we die...I don't really know, nobody does. But from what I've witnessed, and until someone dead comes back to tell me otherwise (and I'm not referring to some ridiculous NDE), we slip into nothingness. Lights out.

What country are you from? Your stilted style of writing is indicative of a recent immigrant, or worse yet, another victim of the public school system.
I almost feel sorry for you.

Iraq war wasn't started due to terrorism...
Bush went so far as to say that it really had nothing to do with terrorism...
now they are hiding behind the excuse of terrorism after they destablized the region...
but other than that... it's ok...

good but the rambling on about the different wars at the very start is pointless who doesnt know about world wars1&2 by the way you should mention that bush looks and acts like a retarted monkey

I think it's great. Is this just the introduction? It seems like it could be an entire speech by itself. If it is the introduction, what else will you be saying in the rest of the speech?

Support the troops by supporting their mission!
