I am doing great I have another debate today here is my revised draft. Completley diffrent.
India/Pakistan Affirmative Case
Between the borders of India and Pakistan is a small piece of land called Kashmir. For a very long time the two countries have been fighting for Kashmir, so that they can claim the land there own. In Kashmir almost everyday people are killed there just like how the terrorists kill people in Iraq. Kashmir is quickly becoming a field of blood and this problem can become worst very soon if a plan by the UN is not taken now. As I speak both India and Pakistan are testing and making nuclear weapons, both of them have admitted to that. India has made tests on May 11, and 13 of 1998; claimed for a total of 5. Pakistan has conducted tests on May 28, and 30 1998, in response to India’s testing. Pakistan has claimed to a total of testing 6 times. These results came from page 257 of the Air Force training Manuel for officers. When two countries hate each other, and have Nuclear Weapons, the UN needs to get involved. As the United States we need to present a plan that will keep both Pakistan and India at bay.
Harms
A. Many Dying in Kashmir
Friday, February 6, 2004
Soldiers surrounded militants in Bandipur in northern Kashmir, about 15 miles north of Srinagar, the summer capital. Four militants and three soldiers died in the fighting.
B. U.S. Strongly concerned over India-Pakistan Tensions: U.S. Embassy Islamabad
State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher told reporters May 20 that Deputy Secretarty of State Richard Armitage is expected to visit India and Pakistan in the near future. Boucher said the United States is strongly concerned about the increased potential for conflict between India and Pakistan, following an attack on an Indian army in Kashmir May 14.
C. Neither Country can handle the unrest in Kashmir
Louisiana State University, Baton Rough, LA (2004)
Perhaps the non-political aspects of the unrest in Kashmir have not been properly stressed. It appears that the initial breakdown occurred because the security mechanisms were not upto par in dealing with the firepower of the small group of militants, just as the police in American cites is incapable of dealing with their criminals.
D. Neither Country is willing to give up Kashmir
CNN News Tuesday, November 25, 2003
Their rivalries over five decades have prevented both countries from realizing their full economic and geopolitical potential.
The two countries have fought three wars, two of them over the disputed region of Kashmir.
The region is small, but nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas its strategic Importance and beauty make it a prized possession.
E. Al Qaeda is in Kashmir www.globalpolicy.org 2002
The question of al Qaeda’s presence in Kashmir is quickly becoming a critical issue in both the U.S. war against al qaeda and the India-Pakistan conflict. Kashmir is also where al Qaeda hopes to improve its strategic position
Inherency
A. Congress will not approve Kashmir action now
Currently this action would not be passed in congress. The War with Iraq is taking all eyes off of other problems such as Kashmir.
B. No Money in the Budget now
10/15/04 Montana Standard AP
The federal deficit surged to a record 413 billion in 2004, the Treasury Department announced Thursday, injection the figure into a presidential campaign in which the two parties have clashed over President Bush’s management of the economy and the Budget.
C. Pakistan Wants to Keep its Nukes www.spacedaily.com bye Anwar lqbal Washington Mar 09 2004
Soon after testing another long range missile Tuesday, Pakistan announced it does not intend to roll back its nuclear program.
D. Pakistan Opposition Rejects Kashmir Plan www.newsday.com AP writer Munir Ahmad October 26 2004
Pakistan’s opposition rejected a formula proposed by the country’s president for solving the lingering issue of Kashmir, saying on Tuesday they will never allow him to change the status of Kashmir against the wishes of its people.
E. President Bush will not get involved September 3 2004
We are not a mediator, and it is up to India and Pakistan to maintain the momentum. The recent bilateral dialogues are a positive sign and we are hopefull that the two parties will not resort to Nuclear War
Due to the serious situation in Kashmir we offer the following plan to aid peacekeeping

1. Assist the UN in promoting peace in Kashmir
2. Share Ideas on Nuclear related issues
3. Establish procedures for possible disruption in Diplomatic Communications between India and Pakistan
4. Aid the UN peacekeepers in supporting non government organization in India and Pakistan
5. Increase the U.S. role in promoting stability in Asia through voting and promotion of Kashmir peace in the UN
Plank 3 Funding
End the Subsiding of Federal student loan rates at 9.0% down to the current interest rate of 4.3% saving 2.6 billion dollars in the next 6 months
Plank 4 Enforcement- Normal Means
Plank 5 We claim the right of Fiat and Legislative Intent. We also claim the right to clarify our plan in other speeches
Solvency
A. The U.S. Involvement will improve tensions in Asia
Rahul Roy-Chaudhury is research fellow for South Asia 2004
In October 2003 an American Independent Task Force on India and South Asia co-sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations and the Asia Society urged Congress and the Bush Administration to make South Asia a high foreign policy priority. It warned that if this did not take place, the U.S. could face crises in the region that would pose major threats to American national security. Although some members of the Task Force felt that American foreign policy did not go far enough in view of the dangers of another India-Pakistan conflict and therefore urged a more active stance, including putting forward American ideas about a Kashmir settlement this was not its formal conclusion. Instead, it felt that there should be more forward leaning and sustained United States engagement. There should be a long term American diplomatic effort to assist not to meditate or arbitrate India and Pakistan’s intermittent efforts to bridge their differences.
B. Affirmative plan solves
1. Assist the fledgling India-Pakistan peace process. For the peace process to be tangible, it needs to be understood as a long-term process, as there are no quick solutions. However, it is fraught with problem sand difficulties. If it is not to break down as has happened so often in the past it needs to be carefully managed by both Delhi and Islamabad, with assistance from the United States. The key, therefore, will be to sustain the dialogue against disruption. The U.S. could assist by facilitating communication and promoting dialogue.
2. Share ideas on nuclear related issues. Much more needs to be done to enhance bilateral nuclear stability. The U.S. could assist by sharing ideas on various technical issues, such as the drafting of a bilateral agreement on the advanced notification of ballistic missile flight tests of the establishment of nuclear risk reduction centers for the mutual notification of nuclear accidents or unauthorized or unexplained nuclear incidents both of which have been agreed to in the Lahore MoU. Also, nuclear deterrence in both countries needs to be made more stable, with far greater understanding and thinking on critical issues, such as nuclear doctoring, force development, command and control, deployment and readiness, survivability and nuclear safety.
3. Prepare for the disruptions of diplomatic communication between India and Pakistan. In a worst case scenario the disruption of bilateral diplomatic communication in the future may not easily lend itself to American facilitation as in the past. This may require the conduct of immediate back channel negotiations between the Indian and Pakistani governments with senior and trusted representatives of the two leaders. The U.S. could assist in setting the ground work for such back channel diplomacy admist the current thaw in India Pakistan relations.
4. Give Support to nongovernmental organizations. Give U.S. support to organization in India, Pakistan and Kashmir that promote peace and education for children. If we can stop the next generation we may be able to stop violence from spreading in the future.
C. All we need is an education. November 11, 2003 Ehtasham Khan
Faiz Ahmed, 12, hails from the border town of Kargil, which was the epicenter of tension between India and Pakistan, and witnesses regular exchange of fire between India and Pakistan. His education was interrupted for about a year when his school was closed. Ahmed asked the UN bodies to ensure safety and security in the world so that children could go to school everyday. He also says that he is over confident that things would be better with United States help in this cause for it will help make the process go faster. He says he is tired of Terrorism haunting himself and is ready to lead his country to fullest potential that is capable through school.
D. The Terror Spreads
The Economist October 9th 2004
Apparently bereft of political ideas, a panicked government is rushing fresh troops to the region. They say that this will help anyone else that wants to help end the terrorism
