China Disad
A. There is a window of opportunity to build U.S. Sino cooperation and consultation on public health issues in Africa. By jumping out in front of any consensus building, the plan crushes current collaboration and creates a U.S. Sino conflict.
Gill, Freeman Chair in China Studies at the CSIS, 2K7 (Bates, “China’s Expanding Role in Africa: Implications for the United States,” A Report of the CSIS Delegation to China on China-Africa-U.S. Relations, January, http://www.csis.org/media/csis/pubs/chinainafrica.pdf)
B. Absent coordination, the plan will be perceived by China as a means to limit its access to future oil reserves which causes the competition in Africa to escalate to a global conflict.
Hatemi, Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 2K7 (Peter, “Oil and Conflict in Sino-American Relations,” China Security, Summer, Volume 3, Number 3)
C. Conflict between the U.S. and China escalates and causes nuclear war
Johnson, Journalist, 5-14-2K1 (Chalmers, “Time to Bring the Troops Home,” The Nation, Volume 272, Number 19)
Subsidies CP
The United States Congress should pass and the President should sign legislation repealing the Agricultural Act of 1949 and the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938. The United States Congress and the President should sign legislation enacting a “buyout” and elimination of agricultural production subsides, quotas, and tariffs found in the 2002 Farm Security and Rural Investment Act or any future “farm bills”.
And, We solve the case. It massively increases global income and soft power. It also prevents the collapse of global trade which is critical to alleviating global poverty.
Prestowitz, President of the Economic Strategy Institute and former trade negotiator for Reagan, 9-19-2K3 (Clyde, “Bold Action Can Still Save Doha Round,” Yale Global, http://yaleglobal.yale.edu/display.article?id=2472)
Acting alone without regard…global trading system
Guilt K
A. Their narrative of guilt facilitates domination. It puts the West at the center of all suffering.
Bruckner, Philospher, author, & Master Lecturer at the Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris, 86 (Pascal, Tears of the White Man: Compassion as Contempt)
A century ago…in the world.
B. The sense of guilt they create absolves us of the need to take any real action – Turns the case
Bruckner, Philospher, author, & Master Lecturer at the Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris, 86 (Pascal, Tears of the White Man: Compassion as Contempt)
With a remarkable talent… longer responsible.68
Other Positions…
The only things besides these generics and a politics disad (which changes every tournament) we only read case specific strategies.

Waterweb, (http://www.lenntech.com/waterborne-diseases/waterborne-diseases.htm P1)
“CLEAN WATER IS…ULTRA-VIOLET (UV) RADIATION.”

WHO, November 2004 online, http://www.who.int/water_sanitation/publications/facts2004/en
“DIARRHOEA 1.8 MILLION PEOPLE…AND HOOKWORM BY 4%.”
ADVANTAGE TWO: STRUCTURAL VIOLENCE
1. IN THE STATUS QUO THERE IS A RUSH TO ALLOW PRIVATE COMPANIES TO FILL IN FOR THE LACK OF A COMPREHENSIVE WATER STRATEGY- THIS SYSTEM FAILS TO DECONTAMINATE WATER AND CREATES INEQUITY IN TERMS OF THE MANAGEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF WATER.
Van Overbeke 2004 (Dustin, Water Privatization Conflicts, http://academic.evergreen.edu/g/grossmaz/VANOVEDR/)
“CURRENTLY THERE IS…CONTAMINATED AS WELL.”
2. LACK OF ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER CAUSES POVERTY.

“A GENERAL SURVEY…CAN BE OVERCOME.”
3. POVERTY IS THE DEADLIEST FORM OF VIOLENCE. STRUCTURAL INEQUITY IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF OTHER VIOLENCE. THE TERMINAL IMPACT IS THE EQUIVALENT TO ONGOIMG THERMO NUCLEAR WAR.
Gilligan 96 (James, Professor of Psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School, Director of the Center for the Study of Violence, and a member of the Academic Advisory Council of the National Campaign Against Youth Violence, “Violence: Our Deadly Epidemic and its Causes” p 191-196)

ADVANTAGE THREE: DEMOCRACY
1. US ENGAGEMENT IN AFRICA IS INEVITABLE – PEACEFUL ACTS OF DEMOCRACY PROMOTION LIKE THE PLAN ARE KEY TO PREVENT CONFLICT

PIERSON November 17, 2005 (Lloyd Pierson – USAID assistant Administration for Africa http://www.sarpn.org.za/documents/d0001818/USAID_Pierson_nov2005.pdf)
“AS YOU ARE AWARE, SUB SAHARAN AFRICA IS THE WORLDS…MEANING THAT MUCH WORK REMAINS.”
3. THESE TRANSITIONS ARE FRAGILE BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNMENTS INABILITY TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE.

“THIS HARDLY EXHAUST…CAN BE BUILT.”
7. THE DEMOCRATIC PEACE THEORY IS SUPPORTED BY THE BEST STUDIES – DEMOCRACY PREVENTS GENOCIDE AND INTERNATIONAL WAR.

“WERE WAR AND OTHER INTERNATIONALVIOLENCE…DEMOCRACY VIRTUALLY ELLIMINATES THIS SOURCE OF DEATHS.”
