It is only with knowledge of the local …. role of either catalyst or teacher.

The EU is comparatively more effective than the US at democracy promotion - Arab perception

EU credibility low now
Walter Russell Mead, The American Interest, 8/19/11, online: http://www.businessinsider.com/european-crisis-deepens-2011-8

The bad news just keeps coming. Coming close on the recent revelation that economic growth is slowing faster than expected in France and Germany, British labor figures have disappointed forecasters and it seems that Greece is heading for yet another recession despite optimistic predictions to the contrary.
A familiar pattern is emerging …getting worse, not improving.

CP increases EU soft power
E. A. Fakhro, The European Union and Islam: Democracy Promotion in Bahrain and the Arab World, 2009, online: http://www.idea.int/resources/analysis/upload/Fakhro_low_2.pdf

So far, such half-hearted experiments … we may still have to fight.

A) Uniqueness – Obama will push the CTBT now – but it will require capital
San Francisco Examiner 6/27/11 (James Carafano, a senior research fellow for national security at The Heritage Foundation, 6/27/11, " Nuclear treaty that Obama is pushing will put US at risk ", http://www.sfexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/2011/06/nuclear-treaty-obama-pushing-will-put-us-risk)

The “bullets” in this revived game … best chance to ram a treaty through.

EGYPT LINK - The plan requires massive political capital from Obama
El Amrani, January 6th, 2011 (Issandr, Project on Middle East Democracy, “Confronting Egypt’s Dangerous Decline” http://pomed.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/policy-brief-series_elamrani.pdf, jj)

The U.S. needs to send a strong … contradictions of its current approach.

C) CTBT solves extinction
Granoff and Tyson, President and Senior Author of the Global Security Institute, 09 (Jonathan and Rhianna, “Achieving the Entry-Into-Force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty: What UN Member States Can Do Now,” April, Accessed 7-12-09)

The treaty remains as important today … living systems upon which it depends.
