 William Wong 6/5/11  Mr. Hurley Period 1  The Expanded Assault

 Mr. President, I urge you to direct an expanded assault on terrorism. There is nothing better than

 a good offense. They say a good offense is the best defense. We know the destruction and the damage the terrorist can cause so we must expand our assault to put a halt on their attacks. Had not our attacks were more aggressive to hit terrorism, we may have avoided attacks on our homeland like the bombings at Oklahoma and 9/11. Currently the terrorist doesn't have the technology and money to build up nuclear weapons. They are actively seeking the nuclear arms and will not hesitate to use the weapons on the United States if they ever got them. If we expand our assault on terrorism, we will further minimize the threat of a nuclear attack by terrorist and we may even eliminate them all together while we are at it. In today's modern world, the United States isn't really loved by everyone right now. The hatred for America will only grow over time and may too large to be stopped if it grows into something too powerful to contain and it will be too late. The expanded effort on assault on terrorism will make sure that terrorism will not rise further. We must take a stronger stance against terrorism and spend less time defending home. The more time we spend on defense, terrorism will have time to plan for an offense. If we go on the stronger offense, terrorism will be on the defense and the offense will be much less which would result in less terrorist attacks on the mainland. Not only should we expand our efforts, we should convince other nations to join the cause and follow our lead in expanding the assaults. This can't be an individual effort, but a team effort. The more nations to help us, the easier the task can be divided up. We want to make sure our next generation will have little to no worries of the threat of terrorism. We should act now before its too late.
