UN is just too big of an organization to be working. Too many cooks spoil the soup. The process of resolution making is very long. Often, when the UN finally comes out with a resolution, the war or conflict is over. The affirmative side says that we need to work with other countries. Working with other countries requires so much time and usually there’s none to spare. If a problem needs to be solved right away, in its roots, we need to act as quickly as possible and not waste time debating moral sides of the action. And even if the Un comes with a resolution. No one ever listen to the UN anymore. And the UN getting weaker and weaker because no one takes it seriously. I think that in a short period of time, it will just disappear. Why do we do this? Why is America always the first one to act if a problem comes out in the world. It’s not its hobby to attack other countries, we don’t do it just for fun. First of all, America gets involved in such conflicts for its own protection. It’s better to stop a problem in it’s origin than wait until it gets out of control. Especially if we’re dealing with a mad man over here. We attack in order to protect our selves. Do we always need to wait for another Pearl Harbor?
I never heard the affirmative complain about Afghanistan. Did we need to make complicated alliances before we went in? Would an alliance of countries make any difference in the war? Yes it would. The Afghani would have more time to run away or prepare a defensive. And what’s the difference between Iraq and Afghanistan?. What do you think the casualties on our side would have been like if we ignored Iraq and let Saddam strike first. And with every day the UN couldn’t make a decision, the attack on USA was getting closer. What would have been the impact of such an attack? All the chemical and biological weapons. The affirmative might say that we need to take more time to negotiate with the countries we are about to attack. I thought that USA doesn’t negotiate with terrorists under any circumstances. Am I wrong? Is Saddam a terrorist? Yeah he is. Do you think that military help for other countries is the only foreign aid we provide? The military aid is just a tiny friction of what we sacrifice every year to make the world better. But no one requires approval for that. Do we need coalitions to distribute food and money to the poor? Military help is just another way of help. It is more costly for us but we still don’t get the thanks we deserve.
