Steve Chapman
War, peace and the next president

Steve Chapman's article, "War, peace and the next president", asserts that war is an ongoing issue and that it is considered to be the new norm. Chapman backs this claim up with descriptions on the candidates views on war as well as criticism on the campaigns themselves. Chapman's purpose is to point out the flawed mindset of politicians on the topic of war in order to jolt the awareness of the reader. Given the concerning tone used in the article, Chapman is writing to anyone interested in the campaigns.

Chapman continuously covers what he deems to be lacking in the campaign. He claims that the topic of war is not a pressing issue due to the abundance that we've had as well as lax manner in which it is dealt. Chapman is convinces that the next president is unlikely to surprise us with a change.
