Isis Persuasive Letter

Improved Essays
Dear President. Barack Hussein Obama, you made the statement "Isis is contained" on Thursday just days before the biggest attack on Paris since WWII. The coincidental bad timing is perhaps understandable.. But NOW the proof rebutting your statement is more overwhelming than ever before. Yet I cannot help but wonder as just your average 19 year old American girl, wouldn't you rather beat Isis than contain it? Containing a terrorist infestation is only temporary. Isn't it odd that the American people seem more concerned about the nation's safety than the President? I can't help but wonder WHERE is your concern for our nation's security? Where is your defense and leadership before the Global Stage? Did you not hear the jihadis rejoicing and vow that "American …show more content…
Were the videos of American beheadings and torture.. (just one of many examples I could draw from) from Isis and related groups that vow to harm the every day American over the past months not sufficient enough to start take these threats seriously? Just how many wake up calls from bloodshed are you waiting for? It is vital for our One Nation under God to take extreme caution and further precautions in regards to middle eastern immigration.. Yet you continue to reject enhanced military protection in dangerous areas of the Middle East and you naively continue to welcome anyone into this country with open arms. Not all middle easterners are dangerous..not all middle easterners are terrorists.. but there is no way to be sure right now with radical Islamic terrorism reaching over our borders to the American blood seekers that are already here living among us. Many of the Paris attackers posed as refugees. Fake documents and lies are easy. Those that seek to "taste the blood of Americans" are true to their word (remember 9/11?...Boston Bombings, or the Russian plane blown up last week..History repeats

    In my opinion, this awareness of threat, apprehension about what is going to happen next, is one of the lingering effects of 9/11 that you can detect around the world. It has been present in my little nation as well as in other European countries since 2001 and has been amplified by recent Paris attacks. Although I can understand the source of this paranoia, I cannot agree with acting on it. Facing the evil reality of terrorist attacks has become part…

    9/11/01 will forever be remembered as one of the saddest, terrifying days in American history. This date will forever be imprinted on the minds of Americans who lost their loved ones, saw their city turn to chaos and their country in high distress and despair.

    In response to the attack on 9/11, former President George W. Bush gave a speech before Congress, detailing America’s plans in this war against terror while rallying a confused and broken nation. Bush began by highlighting the good deeds coming out of this tragedy. From Republicans and Democrats pushing ideologies aside to come together to the overwhelming support across the world, Bush thanked several nations and pointed out specific people before getting to the meat of the speech. Bush answered the question, “Who attacked our country?” by placing the blame on al-Qaida, a terrorist group practicing an extreme form of Islam.…

    Imagine another terrorist attack as traumatic as 9/11, the U.S. might have the greatest military power in the history of the world, but threats and attacks like those on 9/11 are always a concern to the U.S. and its allies. Terrorist attacks are a real threat because they are hard to prevent, they are carefully planned and carefully executed. ISIS is the largest and most powerful terrorist the U.S. has ever dealt with. In recent discussions of Islamic Terrorism, a controversial issue has been whether The U.S. shouldn’t intervene with ISIS and other forms of Islamic terrorism. On the one hand, some argue that the U.S. should intervene and stop Islamic Extremism from this perspective, ISIS’s primary target is the U.S. homeland and critics…

    He mentions about showing the world that we as a country are united and that Congress should pass a resolution for the authorized use of force against ISIS. The President then warns us not to turn all of our focus on ISIS and al Qaeda but to also look out in many parts of the world where terrorism could pop up. The President then gave his approach to counteracting terrorism and other crisis. The President made it clear that the crisis with ISIS and all the conflicts in the Middle East was that he wasn’t making rash decisions and react to the headlines. Also the first response to a challenge is to send in the military which would run the risk of getting drawn into unnecessary conflicts, and neglect the broader picture of what we need for a safer, more prosperous world.…

    Before the September 11th, 2001 attacks, many in the United States underestimated the threat terrorism posed to the country. Now, 13 years later, we find ourselves in the middle of the War on Terror, fighting groups that don’t approve of the free, western way of life we live. We live every day with fear, waiting for the next plane to crash into the next building, the next car bomb to go off, or for the next US citizen to be beheaded. The United States is sitting quietly in the palm of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, waiting for them to take us over, while we should be fighting for the freedom for which we fought so many years ago. The main reasons why the US is not safe is because we don’t acknowledge the act of terrorism, we aren’t taking any steps to…

    We need to get involved in stopping ISIS so we can have normal lives without being scared about what they might do. Some think we do not need boots on the ground in foreign countries but to stop them we are going to have to. We need to protect this country before it goes downhill even more. Getting involved on the war on terror is not only imperative for our standard way of living this also will protect our future. Williams states how ISIS is killing innocent and trying to kill off religious people "mass beheadings of Christians, children burned alive in cages, and the latest reports of apostasy being forced to lay over bombs buried in the sand" (Williams).…

    President? The United States was blind-sighted in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack which resulted in the death of 2,977 innocent Americans. This was the largest attack in the history of the U.S. on our soil and although the signs were there for the intelligence community to see, it was mistakenly not put together. Much of the attack stemmed from communications between terrorist or those connected and working with terrorist within our Country, and this was unacceptable. In order to defend against such communications, according to Lichtblau & Risen (2005), “Under a presidential order signed in 2002, the intelligence agency has monitored the international telephone calls and international e-mail messages of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people inside the United States without warrants over the past three years in an effort to track possible ‘dirty numbers’ linked to Al Qaeda, the officials said. The agency, they said, still seeks warrants to monitor entirely domestic communications”.…

    Sometimes people forget that the United States has been in the “War on Terror” since 2001, escalating our foreign involvements across the world to fight a global war in various parts of the world. During the Obama Administration, Osama Bin Laden was killed by U.S. Special Forces, which allowed for the fall of Al Qaeda in certain areas of the world. Despite the death of Bin Laden, America continues to fight Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations around the globe, and has had recent terror attacks in San Bernardino (September, 2015) and Orlando (July, 2016). Because of this, foreign policy usually should address the growing fears of a hostile population in the United States, namely Muslim-Americans who have the potential of declaring allegiance…

    Currently, I work as a researcher and policy planner for Presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders. My job is informing him on the brief historical chronology leading to present day extremism, providing him with clear advice for how to differentiate between groups and their perspectives, supply him with points that he can use in a debate to refute some of the fear and hate-mongering statements made by others, as well as give him effective suggestions for how to confront Global Jihadism in ways including and beyond military. As his secondhand, I would allow Bernie to introduce the topic as such: “My fellow Americans -- tonight, I want to speak to you about what the United States will do with our friends and allies to degrade and combat the current…
