Striking a Blow TA

My eyes are tired of squinting to read the copy, but I've finally finnished.

This article is loaded with federal facts. Both national and international. The target audience is the Washington Post's audience, so gathered by the handwritten note scrawled in the bottom of the paper. Which means, people who are politically up-to-date I'm assuming. The paper addresses international facts and issues (obviously as it concerns Asia) but also brings the information to the homefront, by bringing in San Fransisco school of law.

This writer defnitly appeals to the logos of America. The logos that if we have (and assuming we appreciate) our democracy, then it's only logical for every other country to have it. And that the people, regardless of their social and economical standings, will appreciate it too. It appeals to the ethos side of things because who better to write this article? The article is summed up by stating "The writer is a lwa professor at the University of San Fransisco School of Law and director of it's Cambodia Law and Democracy Program". Obviously this guy knows his stuff. I'd trust him. I definitly couldn't argue him about it. It appeals to the pathos junkies too, as it tugs the heart strings concerning Old Glory and the God-Blessed nation we live in. We paint eagles and streets after presidents as we try our best to honor our country in which so many have fought for and the freedom we love, but so rarely acknowledge (a Rette side note).

All in all, I believe it. The writer obviously knows what he's writing about. A very good topic for him.
