.and The Greatest Folly In Life Is To Sell Your Life For The Lives Of

.And the greatest folly in life is to sell your life for the lives of others'. Here also the use of singular nouns in relations to plurals gives the speech a certain amount of emphatic quality.
Bush's speech seems to be more simplistic without complicated grammatical features although the use of grammar is slightly different and gives his speech a distinct style without any obvious ambiguity. He says, 'We come to Iraq with respect for its citizens, restore control of that country to its own people'. Although a certain change of the grammar is seen here as he calls Iraq 'its' and America 'her' with his last sentence ' May God bless our country and all who defend her'. Maybe a trace of patriotism in one's own country is seen here and the perception of Iraq as a 'foreign' country is evident in Bush's speech revealed by a different grammatical approach to America and Iraq.
Blair' speech seem to have a strong contextual aspect somehow merging context and grammar in a peculiar way. The sentence, 'I know this course of action has produced deep divisions of opinion in our country. But I know also the British people will now be united in sending our armed forces our thoughts and prayers. They are the finest in the world and their families and all of Britain can have great pride in them'. These sentences are marked by grammar with a particular purpose, to evoke a sense of national pride and achievement. The use of plurals and British people as a whole is a deliberate attempt to bring in ideas and motives of a national patriotic feeling. This is also emphasized in the last sentence when Blair says, 'As so often before, on the courage and determination of British men and women, serving our country, the fate of many nations rests'. Here also the use of grammar is deliberate to give a sense of unity and purpose to British ambitions of attacking Iraq.

Metaphorical & Rhetorical language
Metaphors and emphatic rhetoric and persuasive elements are seen in all these speeches (also in Beard, 2000).
In the speech by Laden, the first sentence he begins with 'Oppression will only go against the oppressors' is highly rhetorical and has a dramatic and almost poetic and rhyming effect. This is followed by another rhetorical sentence, 'Peace be upon those who follow the righteous path'. Another such excellent use of rhetoric to produce a dramatic effect is "Nations are nothing without ethics and morals. If these are gone, the nations are gone'. A queer mix of rhetoric and metaphorical elements is seen in "But God sent him to Baghdad, the seat of the Caliphate, the homeland of people who prefer death to honey'. Here 'honey' has been used metaphorically as blood is used in the sentence 'The blood of the children of Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq is still dripping from their teeth'. Laden tends to use strong poetic and rhetorical phrases with analogies and metaphors more than that of Bush or Blair.
