The United States should suspend all assistance to Pakistan.

it seems my opponent agrees with my case since they forfeited. but I will rebut their case and resummarize the stronger case here being the contenders(me....lol).Rebuttal to my opponents case1. Pakistan doesn't want or need economic help. if you look up the source the army said that the 800 million in cuts wont affect military operation first this doesn't this prove that Pakistan doesn't need economic aid. military and economy have 2 separate definitions. secondly Pakistan feels operations wont be effected because we've already purchased the materials for them. suspending assistance doesn't mean we take our tanks,ships,planes,or bombs back. They still have the materials to fight. but the fact of the mater is, they need the information we share with them via the cia. If we suspend assistance the fight on terror will be jeopardized because Intel will not be effective like when intelligence agencies share intelligence. thirdly going into what the sentence says......saying Pakistan doesn't need economic help.......first his source doesn't prove this also, My opponent tries to state;........"The Army in the past, as well as at present, has conducted successful military operations using its own resources without any external support whatsoever,” ..............my primary response to this is that its a lie.......I've looked all over the Internet and there is not one time that Pakistan has conducted operations while not being funded or having co-operation. So obviously this is false also backed by the fact my opponent offered no valid source to back this up. I also want to point out that Pakistan doesn't have access to clean water. Only 19.4 per cent have clean safe drinking water!...........http://www.source.irc.nl... this alone proves that Pakistan needs economic assistance. and the claim that they don't want our help is denial on there part if its true, human instinct doesn't care where the water comes from when your about to die. Studies also show that lack of water causes one to loose cognitive function witch would mean a water deprived person will not care where the water comes from they just want water......http://www.jacn.org... my opponent states in his subpoint that anti Americanism is growing 1. Pakistan doesn't like us because we keep killing their troops, witch is why since suspending assistance plus the killing of 24 Pakistan soldiers by the us that pakistan has blocked supply routes...........http://wwwnewspakistan.pk... The u.s now has to spend 6x the amount of money now to supply troops. this obviously shows that suspending will hurt the U.S and slow down military operations. 2. this his whole paragraph mainly talks about Afghanistan's problems, this is not resolution relevant therefore should not be considered. The small snippets about Pakistan isn't true. The source he provides is not a source therefore all of this is here-say and is invalid. My opponents second contention........economic aid is a failure. 1.according to the USAID department who is giving the aid..."since September 2009, USAID has disbursed over 1.7 billion in development assistance to Pakistan- a substantial program that has already begun to yield results.......http://blog.usaid.ov... 64 % of schools had no electricity. USAID had helped and has generated over 25,000 households and irrigate 191,000 acres, providing a livelihood for 30,000 homes....................http://blog.usaid.ov... we've been part of Pakistan....green revolution, Lahore university of management sciences, and dams.........http://blog.usaid.ov... small grants from usaid helped equip 7,200 people with livestock,seeds,fertilizers,sewing machines,tool kits For plumbers and carpenters............http://blog.usaid.ov... http://blogs.state.gov... http://blog.usaid.gov... Pakistan economy has improved 10% since injecting the low 2% since 2001 when we started giving aid.............http://www.ecomywatch.com... yes this is a low number and yes we need reform but we need to do it without suspending assistance to Pakistan cause it will hurt both parties. My opponents third contention..........Pakistan has been aiding our enemies.......provided sanctuary for bin laden 1. once again my opponents sources don't hold up 2. all the claims of Pakistan supporting terrorists is speculation, no one can prove how this is happening or provide concrete evidence that its happening. In a debate we need to discuss facts and not speculation. thus this contention should be rejected. 3. Pakistan has killed/captured 17,742 terrorists and that's just since 9-11.........also terrorists operations have increased 86% since we started giving assistance............http://www.spearheadresearch.org... this shows that successful operations are dependent on u.s aid also if Pakistan is killing terrorists it doesn't make sense that they would be killing these same terrorists that they supposedly are helping. They would be more at risk of revenge from these militias and since that isn't happening Pakistan is not supporting terrorists. 4. Bin laden- this as a failure yes, but just because they made one mistake doesn't mean there not fighting terrorism supported by the 17,000 plus terrorists killed since 9-11 theve also captured many key al-queda operatives...........http://online.wsj.com... My case this debate is about the awnser to the question of will suspending all assistance of humanitarian,economic, military,educational, donations of food, and medical assistance, and water further u.s policy objectives like fighting terrorism. he has also not defended why we should suspend the types of assistance i listed. Witch proves this resolution has to be negated because all assistance has to have a reason to be suspend. the awnser is clearly no. first off, suspension has already jeopardized military operations. it will jeopardize years of strategy if all assistance is suspended. When obama suspended, Pakistan blocked nato supply routes and that cost the u.s billions.........Worse would happen if we suspend all assistance. 17,7742 other terrorists might not get caught. 2.we need to invest more into pakistans infrastructure to combat terrorism. 1/3 live off less than a dollar a day, 1/4 is malnourished, only 14 percent have access to clean water. these poor conditions may lead the poor to be active in terrorism in pursuit of financial security. If America reforms without suspension how it invests in its economy we can lower this risk. we also need to invest more in education to give the people the tools to promote democracy.........thus fighting the terrorist influence. half the population is illiterate witch is why democracy is weak. Witch is why we need to reform without suspension. 3.lastly suspending all assistance like in the past wont work on the present we have suspended assistance before, my opponent has not made clear what suspension a 4th time will accomplish. the awnser is nothing. by repeating this action over and over again and expecting different results......according to Einstein's this is absolutely insane. This suspending all assistance to Pakistan will jeopardize operations, hurt the u.s and the people, and just simply wont work. sources 1.http://www.jacn.org... 2.http://wwwnewspakistan.pk... 3.http://blog.usaid.ov... 4.http://blogs.state.gov... 5.http://www.ecomywatch.com... 6.http://www.spearheadresearch.org... 7..http://online.wsj.com...
