Observations 1: The Democratic Other
The Middle East has captured their own sense of Democracy by taking back their countries and freedoms without the support of America. It is time for us to be observant of self determined democracies instead of drive countries to establish them.

The indigenous movements don’t want the US to engage in backroom deals because it will only undermine global support and implementation which fractures coalitional movements.

Thus the plan: The United States Federal Government should substantially increase its democracy assistance to all topic designated areas by removing all of its militaristic, secular, institutional aid, and support programs.
Observation 2: Imperialism
Even in the case of Egypt where the US still provides Militaristic aid, it is important that new democratic parties in the Arab World know that the US no longer has their hands on the levers of power. The Arab world must develop domestic politics and accountable governing by themselves.

American politics and interference in the Arab World has created violence against US influence and has in the most case been the very obstacle to peace and stability through political meddling and military intervention.

Middle east instability causes accidental conflict and nuclear escalation

EVEN LIMITED NUCLEAR WAR COULD ESCALATE AND LEAD TO EXTINCTION
Kateb 92 (George Princeton. THE INNER OCEAN, , p.111-2. (MHSOLT1998)
Observation 3: The Democratic Awakening
The MENA revolts have sparked a political movement ousting American support for military dictators and internal meddling opening new forms of democratic participation.
Amos 1/9/12 (Deborah, Foreign Correspondent of Middle East for NPR News, http://www.npr.org/2012/01/09/144799401/is-the-arab-spring-good-or-bad-for-the-u-s January 23, 2012)
The withdrawal of American influence is a prior question because it paves the way for true democratic order connected to the culture, and loyalties of MENA nations.

True democratic order prevents multiple scenarios for war and extinction.

Observation 4: Orientalism
Status quo politics ingrain an inverted epistemology of ignorance that puts the material conditions of people of color under erasure culminating in a racial fantasy that makes oppressive ideologies invisible.
Mills 97 (Charles, professor of philsophy at Northwestern University, 1997 “The Racial Contract “p.18-19)
This white-washed epistemology fuels white supremacy which makes wars, orientalism, violence, and genocides inevitable only a radical confrontation of oppressive institutions through the aff solves.

Observation Five: American Exceptionalism
The imperial practices of the US are rooted in an ontology geared towards “Americanizing” the “underdeveloped” and invaluable rest of the world
Spanos 2k (William V, Professor of English at Binghamton University, America’s Shadow, p. 180)
Integrating the imperial logic perpetuates cycle of violence in which we constantly try to forget past failures through new wars – this inevitably culminates in extinction
Spanos 8 (William V, Professor of English at Binghamton University, American Exceptionalism in the Age of Globalization: The Specter of Vietnam, p. ix-x) PJ
America’s hegemonic ontology is at the heart of our ‘problems’ in the Middle East, only our radical de-alignment with hegemonic ideology solves.
