      The affirmative attempts to utilize democracy assistance policy to “solve” conflict and “improve” relations. The affirmative attempts to use US policy as an arbitrer to sanitize conflict and purify violence.

      Noorani 05 [Yaseen, Professor of Near East Studies at University of Arizona, Tucson “The Rhetoric of Security,” CR: The New Centennial Review, 5.1]

      The U.S. government's rhetoric of …which we are as good as dead.

       

      B.) War is not waged on behalf of friend/enemy distinctions; it is waged on behalf of the absence of them.  Humanitarian warfare cannot have human enemies so a category of inhumanity must be created outside of itself.  Political actions based concretely on ideals of peace have continually produced only more war.  This drive to end war will inevitably produce increasingly violent forms of conflict as wars of annihilation escalate in intensity to apocalypse.

      ODYSSEOS, 2004. (Louiza, Department of Politics and International Studies, Faculty of Law and Social Sciences, University of London. “Carl Schmitt and Martin Heidegger on the Line(s) of Cosmopolitanism and the War on Terror.” Conference on the International Political Thought of Carl Schmitt. September 9-11. P.PDF)

       

      Not only does the recurrence of war …has to be fought until there is no more resistance.

       

       Alternative: Reject the AFF for its use of otherizing violence suppression as a reason to act.

       

      The alternative is to do the plan not based on the representations of the affirmative but rather because we have an enemy whose interests conflict violently with our own. Rather than suppress that violence we choose to embrace it.  Instead, draw a metaphorical line in the sand, respecting our enemy and engage them only as equals through conventional means.

       

      D. The affirmative’s call to erase enmity and conflict in lieu of a universal humanity merely renders exclusions invisible and violence and warfare become unlimited.  In a “universal liberal utopia” enmity doesn’t disappear but just becomes “sub-human” against the “universal” order, justifying the cruelest of reprisals.  The alternative works to reject this universal call and recognize and admit that “I have an enemy and I can respect that antagonism of interests.”

      RASCH, 2005 (William, Henry H. H. Remak Professor of Germanic Studies at India University. 'Lines in the Sand: Enmity as a Structuring Principle', South Atlantic Quarterly, 104:2, 253-262.)

       

      This, Schmitt’s, is not a popular sentiment, … nightmares of absolute exclusion.

      Terrorist rhetoric reinforces a binary that pits the good in an endless war against the other

      Terrorist rhetoric shuts off solutions to terrorism, necessitates eradication of those who its applied to, and incites racist violence

      -Discursive representations must be evaluated prior to questions of policy—political action can’t exist apart from its representational context
