Speech Against War Message As a senator of the United States‚ I feel it is my duty to help keep the country in a neutral state in order to stop the risk of getting into problems. At a time like this‚ we cannot run the risk of ruining our economy and getting involved in a national conflict. There are many points in Wilson’s war message that I would like to point out as unreasonable.

first question asked and the first question answered before engaging in such a world altering‚ life changing endeavor.

James begins his proposition with a hypothetical example. There would be a poll for all of the US citizens to take part in. They would vote to either keep the Civil War in our history‚ or to expunge it entirely and replace that time with a period of peace. He claims that only a “handful of eccentrics” would opt to get rid of it. I find this to be a very valid point‚ however it does have a fundamental flaw in it.

But why is it that only Miss America and anti-war campaigns scream for peace? Why does not every person strive and seek after peace? Why is one more likely to support Al Gore or spend hundreds of dollars each year sculpting firm abs than to spend a few hours dealing with conflict?
