Based on the article "Proxy War," create your own argument that either supports or counters the author's argument (you either agree with the author's conclusion [support his argument] or you disagree with the author's conclusion [counter his argument]). Be sure you are not just developing your argument with the opinion that you already have. This means you must first recognize your initial point of view and your own assumptions about the topic, so you can approach it with an open...
