Persuasive Essay - War with Iraq
"By attacking Iraq, the US will invite a new wave of terrorist attacks"

The United States decided to present their own intelligence report before the Security Council, in order to convince the public opinion in America and worldwide that the war is now inevitable, but there are a lot of reasons that explain why the United States should not invade the Iraq. The war we are trying to start will prove two things. First, that American power is overwhelming and irresistible. Second that US is more patient, persevering and much more powerful that the whole Islamic movement. To destroy a highly dispersed global net is something that nobody can do very well. "Bush seeks for an almost complete control in this strategic area of the planet - main oil reserves worldwide -reinforcing the rule and influence of US in world matters, looking for co-opting US peoples behind this counter-revolutionary enterprise" said one of the journalists of CNN.

Such killing will increase the number of enemies of the US and also the probability of future acts of terrorism against the US and its allies.

War with Iraq - Persuasive Essay
The only flaw this essay has is missing factual evidence. If indeed it is in there you need to use a works cited and internal citations. The reader might as well assume that the author of a persuasive essay without cited facts is just making up the "facts." Although I don't agree with you on this issue I must commend you for a well-written essay (with the exception of missing citations).
