I need to write a persuasive speech so I chose the topic America should stop being the world's policeman. I need 3 main points and I have come up with troops dying for wars not their own, America has been involved in more wars then it could have if it stayed neutral, and wars causing debt to the U.S., but I do not think these are strong enough. Does anyone have any ideas on stronger points or are these good enough?
