1. this is president obamas speech about the attacks on syria.
"If we fail to act, the Assad regime will see no reason to stop using
chemical weapons. As the ban against these weapons erodes, other tyrants
will have no reason to think twice about acquiring poison gas, and
using them. Over time, our troops would again face the prospect of
chemical warfare on the battlefield. And it could be easier for
terrorist organizations to obtain these weapons, and to use them to
attack civilians. If fighting spills beyond Syria’s borders, these
weapons could threaten allies like Turkey, Jordan, and Israel. And a
failure to stand against the use of chemical weapons would weaken
prohibitions against other weapons of mass destruction, and embolden
Assad’s ally, Iran — which must decide whether to ignore international
law by building a nuclear weapon, or to take a more peaceful path."
"America is not the world’s policeman.Terrible things happen across the
globe, and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with
modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death,
and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we
should act. That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us
exceptional. With humility, but with resolve, let us never lose sight of
that essential truth."
Your quotes have good content, however the explanation of which fallacious argument this represents is missing. Also, I do not see a fallacious argument of your own. These parts are important to include so that I know you understand what fallacious arguments are present.
