The Last Patriot Argumentative Analysis

Imagine a world where belligerent Islamic fundamentalists were trying to take away the lively hood of every Christian American. Even worse than that, trying to seize the world into becoming an Islamic terrorist who would die if they went against the Islamic faith. In The Last Patriot, Scot Harvath and Tracy save Anthony Nichols from a car bombing and then from a shooting inside a hotel where the two of them are interrogating him.

On the other hand, he is being cowardly because the decision to not see the president could lead to the Islamic terrorists taking over the United States with Islam. Scot Harvath ultimately decides to talk to the president and it ends up being the right decision. Explaining why Scot Harvath was so afraid to see the president and
