      Emergency Email & Wireless Network 12 -- http://www.emergencyemail.org/newsemergency/anmviewer.asp?a=1656&z=1

      the international community."

       

      This is precisely the wrong policy. The U.S. must work behind the scenes, offering its assistance through the United Nations.  Thus,

       

      Plan: The United States Federal Government should provide support to facilitate a democratic political transition in Libya through the United Nations Support Mission in Libya.

       

      Scenario 1: Libya

      Libyan instability is rampant. A civil war is coming.
      Digital Journal December 29 12-29-11 ( “Libyan Civil War Coming in 2012,” http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/535072)

      The coming year could create a lot of good

       

      simply too big to be allowed to fail.

       

      African conflicts escalate to great power wars.
       
      Glick 7 , 12/12/2007 (Caroline – senior Middle East fellow at the Center for Security Policy, Condi’s African holiday, p. http://www.carolineglick.com/e/2007/12/)

      The Horn of Africa is a

       

      and so the conflict festers.

      Scenario 2: Multilateralism

      Sustained UN engagement on Libya is critical to maintain U.S. leadership and generate multilateral cooperation on issues. The alternative is counterbalancing.
      Brimmer 11, 9/15/2011 (Esther - assistant secretary of the Bureau of International Organization Affairs, A Misguided Assault, p. http://www.humanrights.gov/2011/09/15/a-misguided-assault-why-the-united-nations-matters/)

       US leadership prevents great powers wars.
       
      Khalilzad 11, 2/8/2011 (Zalmay – former United States ambassador to Afghanistan, Iraq and the United Nations, The Economy and National Security, National Review, p. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/259024/economy-and-national-security-zalmay-khalilzad?page=3%29)

       

      We face this domestic challenge while

       

      facing Chinese hegemony and aggression.

       

      Nuclear war.
       
      Khalilzad 95 Washington Quarterly, Vol 18, No 2, p. 84)

       

      Under the third option, the United States

       

      multipolar balance of power system.


      Only multilateral cooperation prevents great power wars that make extinction inevitable.
       
      Dyer 2004, 12/30/2004 (Gwynne – former senior lecturer in war studies at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurt, The End of War, The Toronto Star, http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1230-05.htm)

       

      The "firebreak" against nuclear weapons

       

      itself and everybody loses.

       

      Scenario 3: Refugees

       

      1. Libyan instability causes massive refugee flows

      Serwer 11 (Daniel, “Post-Qaddafi Instability in Libya,” Council on Foreign Relations, Contingency Planning Memorandum, No. 12, August, http://www.democracyarsenal.org/2011/08/before-the-fall-planning-for-post-qaddafi-libya.html) 

      A failed

       

      inclined in that direction..

       

      2. Refugees are dehumanized by the media, and creates inequalities.

      Three studies were conducted

       

      strategies for counteracting such effects.

      3. Dehumanization  – is the root cause of problems.  Fasching 1993

      FaschingProf Relig @ U S Florida, 1993 (Darrell J., The Ethical Challenge of Auschwitz and Hiroshima, p 179-181)

      We can recall (from Chapter 2) that Harvey Cox

       

      and religious forces of dehumanization179-181

       

      4. Dehumanization outweighs all other impacts

      Berube, 1997

      (Berube, David. Professor. English. University of South Carolina. “Nanotechnological Prolongevity: The Down Side.” 1997. http://www.cas.sc.edu/engl/faculty/berube/prolong.htm.)

      Assuming we are able to predict

       

      is evil's most powerful weapon.

       

       

      Solvency

      Effective transition is the key to preventing war and refugee flows. The U.S. has unique expertise and political knowledge critical to prevent democratic backsliding.
       
      Vandewalle 2011, 4/6/2011 (Dirk – teaches in the department of government at Dartmouth, The Reconstruction of Libya – Local and International Constraints and Opportunities, Testimony before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, p. http://foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Vandewalle%20Testimony.pdf)

      As the United States continues to

       

      a future, democratic Libya.

       

      US expertise is critical, but it must work within the UN, not unilaterally 56
       
      Bauer, 11 (William, “America Must Be A Back Seat Driver”, Polymic, August, http://www.policymic.com/article/show?id=1470&op=no)

      So, what is next for Libya?

       

      and guidance the U.S. has to offer.

       

      This assistance must be provided through the UN to boost NTC legitimacy

      El Kasm 11, 11/10/2011 (Saeb – anti-corruption consultant whose clients include the UNODC, Lecturer at University of California, Irvine, Rebuilding Libya, Truthout, p. http://www.truth-out.org/rebuilding-libya/1320958361)

      In order to restore law

       

      and keep the Libyan transition on track.

       

      This is the key to preventing weapons transfers
       
      Carmichael 11, 9/1/2011 (Lachlan, Clinton urges new Libya to fight extremism, Yahoo! News, p. http://www.activistpost.com/2011/09/clinton-urges-new-libya-to-fight.html)

      US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged Libya's

       

      tolerance and pluralism," she said.

       

      Libya is the test case for the future of Obama’s multilateral approach.
      Rothkopf  2011, 3/18/2011 (David - visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Why the U.N. vote on Libya means almost as much for Obama as for Qaddafi, Foreign Policy, p. http://rothkopf.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2011/03/18/why_the_un_vote_on_libya_means_almost_as_much_for_obama_as_for_qaddafi)

      This is not because Libya is such

       

      like to be able to take credit for leading.
