Nations Should Act With Military Force Against Countries That Execute Homosexuals

The resolution is "Nations Should Act With Military Force Against Countries That Execute Homosexuals". It does not say how fast we should do it or that we should not give the other nation a chance to change its policy instead of being invaded, so it does not negate my resolution to suggest we may limit the amount of war that must be carried out under this resolution through negotiations.Nor does it say how quickly we should do this. It may be helpful to conduct a covertly-funded pro-gay rights propaganda campaign worldwide in order to help the military effort when it comes.One element of this effort could be to educate people in those countries where it is currently a capital offense or even just taboo but where historically before European contact it was tolerated about their own history. That people often accuse the West of "exporting" homosexuality when in fact it is the West that exported homophobia shows people in these countries are largely ignorant of their own history. By shining a light on their histories we could embed pro-gay positions within nationalist movements and cultural revival movements which seek to clean the nation of colonial influence from its past, leading the populations of these countries to see homophobia as an "imported" attitude and that prescribing to that view is to bow down to the historical colonizers.As Con has pointed out the hostility towards homosexuality comes largely from "the adoption of European Victorian attitudes by the new Westernized elite." A broader campaign in these countries that highlights how "westernized" the elites are, such as a campaign for replacing English, French, or other European languages as the official language of government with a native language, and making it easier for people to do business in traditional formal dress rather than European formal dress. By putting "reviving our culture's historical tolerance for homosexuality" as just one of the many, many cultural restorationist issues we can appeal to people's pride and sense of community to promote gay rights.With covert aid and funding by pro-gay countries come time for the war to end the execution of homosexuals there would then be large numbers of rebels in these countries who will help us.The pro-gay coalition may also appeal to various other rebel groups. African countries are famous for ethnic conflicts, these can easily be exploited to help the war effort. Iran also has various ethnic and religious conflicts, particularly with Azerbaijanis, Sunnis, Kurds, Zoroastrians, and Baluchistanis. Even when these groups are traditionally homophobic Realpolitik considerations may lead them to ignore that and support gay rights as a step towards getting international help in achieving independence.With the help of large numbers of rebel forces it will make the military invasion, and post-war occupation of these countries easier.Exampleshttp://aliciabanks.xanga.com...The Dagara tribe of Burkina Faso calls "gays" "gatekeepers" referring to their link between this world and other worlds. Lesbians are considered "witches". "They come from the Otherworld, and they keep the gates to the Otherworld. Because, if the gates are shut, this is when earth, Mother earth, will shake. Because it has no more reason to be alive. It will shake itself and we will be in deep trouble. Unless they go out on their yearly symposium, the village cannot be granted another year of life...This constantly reiterated discomfort and hatred for the gay person [in the modern world] is again another indication that every year we might as well be prepared for the apocalyptic moment when the stars start to fall to earth..." Not only could this particular tribe's sense of tradition be appealed to to recruit them to help us in this war, but their traditional religion holding homosexuals to have a sacred role can be appealed to. Pro-gay countries may encourage prophets who foretell that their government by enacting laws against homosexuality is part of a global conspiracy to "shut the gates" leading to an apocalypse. Burkina Faso does not execute homosexuals, but agitation here and in other places could make it unfeasible for many of the 50 or so countries Con says would join in the war to join in because of fears of fanning of the flames of already-existing tensions within their own populations. In addition there are about 33 tribes in Africa that traditionally practice lesbian marriage, including the Yoruba of northern Nigeria, a place in the world that has laws executing homosexuals. The pro-gay countries can enlist Yoruba traditionalists to help overthrow the regime there and end the execution of homosexuals. 49 out of 78 African tribes with little contact with Western civilization are known to at least tolerate if not celebrate homosexuality.
