Well first state the three reasons why you don't think we should be at war. And pretty much just string them together... For example if you think that we shouldn't be at war because:
A) it is killing many innocent people
B) war is not stopping anything
C) The war is making things worse
(I just pulled these out of the air...) Then your thesis statement would go like this:
We should not be at war because it is killing many innocent people, the war is not stopping anything, and the war is making things worse.
Then you should have a separate paragraph for each statement. Don't forget to reconnect to the thesis near the end of each statement paragraph...
I don't know if this will help you that much. I use it and get passable grades. But you're taking this from a 9th grader so I'm not sure how much this is going to help you.

so is this for your opposing view because if your stance is that you support the war than this would be the opposing view. anyway on opposing views you don't need a thesis statement because thesis statements are your stance and by having one for not supporting the war than you are contradicting yourself. For the opposing view, just say things that people believe make the war unsupportable and tell why either this stuff isn't true or why the war really should be reported.Good Luck.=)

I support the war too. I will try to come up with something though.
We should not be at war in Iraq because Sadam Hussein was doing a pretty good job of controlling the Iraqi Infadels with his dictator might. As a Sunni Muslim, he beat the Shi-ite out of the Shi-ites. Unfortunately the world lost a good man.
or
We should not be at war because my teacher tells me so. I had an opposite opinion until my teacher forced me to think other wise using the fear of reprisal. As a result I have to put my beliefs on the backburner or get an F.

what main parts is your body going to support? for example, if your 3 paragraphs were about the effect on life in America, how the war helps Iraq citizens, and the better effects of the war, your thesis should look something like this:
The war on terrorism has a positive effect on the U.S. and Iraq, and many good things have come from this.

Having to play Devil's Advocate for University papers sucks, lol.
Your statement should focus on the costs of the war. Perhaps include something that touches on the morality of initiating warfare. Another idea might be to acknowledge early the mistakes surrounding justification for war (faulty intelligence - not finding WMD's ect).
Trying to sum all that up in a few sentences may be tough.

seperate your emotions and beliefs and the topic at hand. you might disagree with the statement, but that does not stop you from finding and writing about the reasons that others feel that way. in doing a researched study you might find why your values are so strong and perhaps not out of the mainstream. on the other hand you may find some of your logic is flawed but not totally wrong, and you will learn techniques to bolster your point of view.

Good for you. Your teacher should not be giving you a position statement on HIS/HER opinion. Turn it around and explain why we SHOULD be at war. That will show character. GOOD LUCK!
