Oki, a strong second to Josh's plea. Two things need to be done: (1) pick
a particular area of foreign policy that the literature/government
explicitly details (Doyle Srader discussed this earlier), (2) pick a clear
direction (increase, decrease, eliminate, etc) for the topic and make sure
that the direction modifies words
that are also clearly defined within the lit to avoid aff ground explosion
that took place on the oceans topic.
