Combating ISIS and Terrorism

      Even though this speech differs from what I normally write on, I chose one of President Obama's speeches because of how it relates to 9/11/2001. President Obama gave this speech on September 10th, 2014, even though his message was mostly about ISIS he focused on the lastly impression from 9/11. President Obama explains to us that even though the Twin Towers were destroyed 13 years ago if does not feel like it has been that long. President Obama talks to us and informs us about the destruction that ISIS has accomplished and how we as a nation need to realize that we are still vulnerable as a nation for attack. So it is our duty to be educated and know what is going on so that something does not happen to our great nation like it did 13 years ago.

      President Obama talks from a teleprompter so that he seems to keep eye contact and not be distracted from papers on his pulpit. The President explains that we cannot label countries because of what they have done in the past, but we still need to be aware that they are capable of destruction. We are sending troops to Iraq, along with money and supplies so that the people of Iraq can defend themselves from the ISIS regime. Again he restores our faith that we are prepared if something were to happen like 9/11, but because we are prepared and ready we do not need to worry about it happening again. 

      For my paper I have chosen this topic because even though it talks about ISIS President Obama restores our faith as Americans that we are prepared and ready so another terrorist attack will not destroy our nation. He talks on the lasting effect from 9/11 and how that day will forever live with us as American, but it will not bring us down. From the 9/11 incident we became a stronger nation, one that cannot be broken or hurt, that is why we are sending money and troops to other nations with stereotypes to prove that we are able to defend yet help others.
