I chose the topic about women in iraq because of my concerns and there are plenty of sources on the internet regarding this situation. It is part of the constitution that everyone should be treated equally and have the same rights, however, these laws are not being practiced in Iraq. Women are degraded by men by rapes, attacks, killed, and the list goes on. The following site provides a list of tortures women are experiencing today in Iraq: http://www.ipetitions.com/campaigns/women_in_iraq/

Farenheit 911 was filled with statistics and some facts to try and prove a point. However, Micheal Moore used a lot of rhetorical questions as well as criticism against Bush to show that Bush is an unfit president. Although some of the facts were true, some were not. For example, when Bush was reading to the class of kids and was told the news about the bombing in New York, Micheal Moore made him look foolish by using rhetorical questions and no one except Bush really knows what was going on through Bush's head at the time. The film was very biased and targeted Bush as the center of humiliation and although his rhetorical questions were funny, the questions are considered to be a fallacy.
