This is a debate in regards to a very recent action taken by President Trump in regards towards the military strike against Syria. The evidence in this debate shall have no weight, therefore, although evidence is required it shall not be argued in the debate. Instead, this debate shall argue impacts and commentary/opinions regarding the topic. REMEMBER that this is a developing story, therefore news coverage is very recent and easy to find. Here is the format of the debate: 1. Contentions- Present your ideas, values, observations, definitions, and evidence. Evidence is a great idea to prove your point. 2 & 3. Rebuttals- Refute my contentions and ideas, then defend your own. Reply Speech - Crystallization - Explain why your side has won the debate and why the judges should vote for your side. Therefore, no time extensions shall be permitted from my end, because evidence is extremely easy to find, and there is tons of new coverage to learn from, therefore there is a prep time of 2 full days. GOOD LUCK!!!
