My first Topic is on the continuing U.S. embargo on all trade with Cuba.  It has effectively forbidden any US trade with the nation since 1962, and has since extended to any business relations with Cuba.  My argument is that this is only drawing Cuba closer to Latin America and fanning the flames of anti-U.S. sentiment.

My second is on the Iraq War situation.  While I think the war is not the disaster the media portrays, support is clearly waning with no clear resolution in sight.  My argument is that the occupation is becoming largely detrimental and withdrawl must be dealt with not immediately, but very tactfully
