  Beres, 2005

  Our world is "normally" AND fresh corpses.

  The impact of terrorism is not just some big bang - it takes place throughout the world each and every day through suicide bombings which transform society to a life of permanent suffering.

  Why did I do it? AND truth and falsity.

  1. Existential questions should always supersede epistemology
     Kateb, Prof of Politics @ Princeton, 1992 (George, The Inner Ocean, pg. 144)
  1. Nuclear Terrorism is likely, causes nuclear retaliation, and triggers a new arms race – Iraq proves

  Rhodes Richard, affiliate of the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University, Former visiting scholar at Harvard and MIT, and author of “The Making of the Atomic Bomb” which won the Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction, National Book Award, and National Book Critics Circle Award. 12-14-09“Reducing the nuclear threat: The argument for public safety” http://www.thebulletin.org/web-edition/op-eds/reducing-the-nuclear-threat-the-argument-public-safety

  The response was very different AND sending a message.

  US retaliation to a terrorist attack causes global nuclear war.

  Corsi  Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard University 2005 [Jerome Corsi (Expert in Antiwar movements and political violence), Atomic Iran, pg. 176-178]

  The United States retaliates AND exacting revenge.

  1: There is no justification for terrorism – it legitimates the worst barbarism ever imagined. One cannot justify, explain or understand terrorists – you must only reject them
  Netanyahu 1995
  Former Prime Minister of Israel [Benjamin,Terrorisrn: how democracies can defeat domestic and international terrorists.]

  The salient point that has to be AND cause in any way.

  2: Extinction is Inevitable - Morality before Justice makes Responding to Future Attacks Impossible. And, this turns case – their ethical moral claims make extinction inevitable
  Hannity 2004
  (Sean [debater extraordinaire], Deliver Us From Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism, HarperCollins publishers in NY, pg 9) IB

  This kind of moral relativism AND threatens our nation.

  3: Language is the strongest weapon in WOT going easy on terrorists creates more attacks.
  Murdock, ' 5
  [Deroy, nationally syndicated columnist with the Scripps Howard News Service "terrorism and the English language" www.heritage.org/Research/ HomelandDefense/hl867.cfm March 9 Heritage Lecture #867]

  I live on Manhattan Island AND English language.

  4: To understand terrorists and not regard their actions of the worst of crimes, it means forgiving. The impact is the end of civilization
  Elshtain 3
  Jean Betake Elshtain, Laura Spelman Rockefeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics, University of Chicago Divinity School, 2003 (Just War Against Terrorism)

  We must never lose AND evil, just insane.

  5: Turn – Making terrorists into victims justifies any evil that is perpetrated by them. This is similar to trying to find justification behind death camps
  Elshtain 3
  Jean Betlike Elshtain, Laura Spelman Rockefeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics, University of Chicago Divinity School, 2003 (Just War Against Terrorism)

  The journalist Andrew Sullivan AND facts and possibilities.

  6: There is no solution to the naming or correct discussion of "terrorists" when the point of "terrorism" is to kill innocent civilians. A terrorist, by definition, is one who sows terror.
  Elshtain 3
  Jean Betlike Elshtain, Laura Spelman Rockefeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics, University of Chicago Divinity School, 2003 (Just War Against Terrorism)
  WHAT IS A TERRORIST? This line AND itself is the goal.

  7: Our definition of terrorism distinguishes between the different types of wars. This increases our ability to combat such violence by shifting the activities to alternate courses, reducing the scope of international terrorism
  Ganor 1
  Boaz Ganor, Director of the International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism. 2001 (Defining Terrorism: "Is One Man's Terrorist Another Mail's Freedom Fighter?")

  We face an essential AND realization, the better.

  8: The War on Terrorism is not constructed, nor can it be deterred. Our criticisms of the government won't deter those who are ready to strike us. This is analogous to how the reactions to post-WWI did not inevitably produce Nazism, it was a group of people taking over state power independently.
  Elshtain 3
  Jean Betlike Elshtain, Laura Spelman Rockefeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics, University of Chicago Divinity School, 2003 (Just War Against Terrorism)

  Certain critical events in the past remind AND not be deterred.

  9: The acts that we describe are definitionally acts of terror. An attempt to describe them using any other word does not pass judgment on them, but rather legitimizes the acts that they commit
  St. Petersburg Times, 2003
  (Philip Gailey, "Word choice matters in Mid East Reporting," August 31, Lexis)

  For me, it's not a hard call. AND act of terrorism.

  The alternative is to vote negative as an endorsement of a Marxist Feminist method of criticism.  This political strategy best confronts the overarching structural elements that create the possibilities for discursive violence and provide the best method to engage structural oppression stemming from both capitalism and patriarchy

  Second is Partisanship: Focusing Agency on Identifying Root Causes Reorients Partisanship Towards the Center of Politics – By Focusing Solely on the Ability to Reveal These Structures, the Aff Locks Us Into a System of Deliberative Binaries That Makes Evaluation Impossible
