Security
United States action in sub-Saharan Africa is a drive to secure and neutralize antagonism. This promotion of a better world is premised on the exporting of the United States standard of human that must be violently secured.
Noorani, 05 (Yaseen, “The Rhetoric of Security,” CR: The New Centennial Review, 5.1)
Once the enemy is labeled as a threat to security and abstract notions of humanity they cease to be fully human and are annihilated.
Odysseos, 04 (Louiza, Ph.D, Professor of Politics and International Studies at the University of London, “Über Die Linie? Carl Schmitt and Martin Heidegger on the Line(s) of Cosmopolitanism and the War on Terror,” September, p. 19-21)
The affirmative will always isolate new threats to the world order—the quest to control difference recycles the need for security
Der Derian, 98 (James, Director of Watson Institute Global Security Program, Former Rhodes Scholar, On Security, “The Value of Security: Hobbes, Marx, Nietzsche, and Baudrillard,” ed. Ronnie Lipschutz. ciaonet)
The alternative is to affirm difference and learn to live with insecurity. Total security is an impossible paradox—disorder is inevitable because we live in a dangerous world. Efforts to control this fear are futile and can only recreate insecurity.

WE HAVE AN ETHICAL OBLIGATION TO PRESERVE CARRYING CAPACITY – ABSOLUTE REVERENCE FOR HUMAN LIFE IRONICALLY LEADS TO THE DESTRUCTION OF THE VERY THING HELD MOST SACRED.

Canada solves best – it has shared legal, economy, and cultural ties with Africa that ensure solvency while avoiding anti-western resentment

Lacan
Social harmony does not exist – it is forever beyond the horizon – yet the affirmative participates in the same attempts to create a utopian vision of the world – one in which there is no war and there is peace and everybody gets along – yet this is simply an attempt to cover up the lack – the holes in society. This ultimately ends up in the annihilation of those who disturb our conception of utopia
Stavrakakis, 99 (Yannis, Visiting Fellow in Government at the University of Essex, “Lacan and the Political,” p63-65)
