Kagan and Kristol, 2000

(Robert and William, “Present Dangers”, Kagan is a Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Kristol is the editor of The Weekly Standard, and a political analyst and commentator, page 13-14 ) 

It is worth pointing out, though, that a … power that awaits a dramatic challenge before it rouses itself into action.

U.S. hegemony isn’t threatening the majority of world powers because it’s focused on preventing shared threats—it makes balancing impossible


Lieber and Alexander, 05  (Keir, professor of political science at Notre Dame, and Gerard, professor of politics at the University of Virginia, “Waiting for Balancing: Why the World is not Pushing Back”, International Security, 30.1, 109-139, projectmuse) 

Why Countries Are Not Balancing against the United Statesthey nonetheless shared with their allies the goal of containing the Soviet Union.61

Contention 2: Solvency

Expanding Medflag is key -  military to military exercises will only have a positive impact if they are focused on humanitarianism, which uniquely resonates with African governments and will spill over to other aspects of foreign policy. 


 

Henk 98 (Dan, member of USAF Institute for National Security Studies and professor of African Affairs at USMA/Army War College, March, “Uncharted Paths, Uncertain Vision: US Military Involvements in sub-Saharan Africa in the Wake of the Cold War, http://www.usafa.af.mil/df/inss/OCP/ocp18.pdf, March 1998)

Medflag already has the trust of African governments and has achieved a level of sophistication unmatched by any other exercise.  Military cooperation on addressing diseases that effect the community is key to increasing understanding between the US and African governments
