Ma kahi olinolino Op-ed paʻiʻia ma ka New York Times, Ua wehewehe ʻo Trita Parsi o ka Quincy Institute pehea i hiki ai iā Kina, me ke kōkua mai Iraq, ke hoʻoponopono a hoʻoholo i ka hakakā hohonu ma waena o Iran a me Saudi Arabia, ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ke hana pēlā ma hope o ka ʻae ʻana me ke aupuni Saudi kūʻē. ʻO Iran no nā makahiki he mau makahiki.

ʻO ke poʻo inoa o ka ʻatikala a Parsi, "ʻAʻole ʻo ka US kahi mea hoʻomalu maluhia," pili i ka hoʻohana ʻana o ke Kakauolelo o ka Mokuʻāina ʻo Madeleine Albright i ka huaʻōlelo "ʻāina koʻikoʻi" e wehewehe i ke kuleana o ʻAmelika i ka honua ma hope o ke Kaua anu. ʻO ka hoʻohenehene i ka hoʻohana ʻana o Parsi i ka huaʻōlelo a Albright ʻo ia ka mea maʻamau i hoʻohana ʻia e pili ana i ka hana kaua US, ʻaʻole i ka maluhia.

I ka makahiki 1998, ua huakaʻi ʻo Albright i ka Hikina Waena a laila ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e hōʻuluʻulu i ke kākoʻo no ka hoʻoweliweli a Pelekikena Clinton e hoʻopaʻa i Iraq. Ma hope o ka lanakila ʻole ʻana i ke kākoʻo ma ka Middle East, ʻo ia alo ma o ka heckling a me nā nīnau koʻikoʻi i ka wā o kahi hanana televise ma Ohio State University, a ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo ia ma ka Today Show i ke kakahiaka aʻe e pane i ke kūʻē ʻana o ka lehulehu ma kahi ʻoi aku ka mana.

Albright koi, “..ina e hoohana kakou i ka ikaika, no ka mea, o Amerika kakou; ʻo mākou ka nui lāhui. Kū mākou kiʻekiʻe a ʻike mākou ma mua o nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe i ka wā e hiki mai ana, a ʻike mākou ma aneʻi i ka pōʻino iā mākou a pau. Ua ʻike wau ua mākaukau mau nā kāne a me nā wahine ʻAmelika i ka ʻaʻahu e mōhai aku no ke kūʻokoʻa, ka demokala a me ke ʻano o ke ola ʻAmelika.

Ua makaukau o Albright e lawe i na mohai o na koa Amerika no hāʻawiʻia Ua pilikia ʻo ia i ka nīnau kaulana ʻana iā General Colin Powell, "He aha ka pono o kēia pūʻali koa maikaʻi āu e kamaʻilio mau nei inā ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohana?" Ua kākau ʻo Powell i kāna mau memo, "Ua manaʻo wau e loaʻa iaʻu kahi aneurysm."

Akā, ua hāʻawi ʻo Powell iā ia iho i nā neocons, a i ʻole ka "pupule loa"ʻoiaiʻo ia i kāhea aku iā lākou ma kahi kaʻawale, a heluhelu pono i nā wahaheʻe a lākou i hana ai e ho'āʻo e hōʻoia i ka hoʻouka kauaʻana o Iraq i ka UN Security Council i Pepeluali 2003.

No nā makahiki he 25 i hala iho nei, ua hāʻawi nā lawelawe o nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua i nā "crazies" i kēlā me kēia manawa. ʻO Albright a me nā neocons' exceptionalist rhetoric, i kēia manawa ka uku maʻamau ma waena o ka US politic spectrum, alakaʻi i ka United States i nā hakakā ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, ma ke ʻano maopopo ʻole, Manichean e wehewehe i ka ʻaoʻao āna e kākoʻo ai ʻo ka ʻaoʻao o ka maikaʻi a ʻo ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe. ʻino, e hoʻopaʻa ana i ka manawa e hiki ai i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ke hoʻokō i ke kuleana o ka ʻuwao kūʻē ʻole a hilinaʻi paha.

I kēia lā, heʻoiaʻiʻo kēia i ke kaua ma Yemen, kahi i koho ai ka US e hui pū me kahi hui alakaʻi Saudi i hana i nā hewa kaua ʻōnaehana, ma kahi o ka noho kū ʻole ʻana a mālama i kona hilinaʻi ʻana ma ke ʻano he uwao. Hoʻopili pū ʻia ia, ka mea kaulana loa, i ka US blank check no ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o ka ʻIseraʻela i ka Palestinians, ka mea e hoʻopaʻa ʻole i kāna mau hoʻoikaika ʻana.

No Kina, naʻe, ʻo kāna kulekele kūʻokoʻa i hiki ai iā ia ke hoʻoponopono i kahi kuʻikahi maluhia ma waena o Iran a me Saudi Arabia, a pili pū nō hoʻi i ka maluhia kūleʻa o ka ʻApelika. nā kūkākūkā ma Aitiopa, a me ka olelo hoohiki a Tureke ka 'uao ma waena o Rūsia a me Ukraine, ʻo ia paha ka mea i hoʻopau i ka luku ʻana ma Ukraine i kāna mau mahina mua ʻelua akā no ka manaʻo paʻa o ʻAmelika a me Pelekane e hoʻomau i ka hoʻoikaika a hoʻonāwaliwali iā Rusia.

Akā ua lilo ka neutrality i mea hōʻino i nā poʻe kālai'āina US. ʻO ka ʻōlelo hoʻoweliweli a George W. Bush, "ʻO ʻoe pū kekahi me mākou a i ʻole e kūʻē iā mākou," ua lilo ia i manaʻo paʻa, inā ʻaʻole i haʻi ʻia, ka manaʻo nui o ka 21st century US foreign policy.

ʻO ka pane ʻana o ka lehulehu ʻAmelika i ka dissonance cognitive ma waena o kā mākou mau kuhi hewa e pili ana i ka honua a me ka honua maoli a lākou e hui pū ai, ʻo ia ka huli ʻana i loko a apo i kahi etos o individualism. Hiki i kēia ke hele mai ka New Age spiritual disingagement a i kahi ʻano chauvinistic America First. ʻO kēlā me kēia ʻano o kēlā me kēia o mākou, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohuli iā mākou iho i ka haʻalulu mamao o nā pōkā, ʻoiai ka hapa nui. American kekahi, ʻaʻole ko mākou pilikia.

Ua hōʻoia ʻia a hoʻonui nui ʻia ko mākou naʻaupō i ka US media media ho'ēmi ʻO ka hoʻolaha ʻana o nā nūhou haole a me ka hoʻohuli ʻana i ka nūhou TV i keʻena leo e hoʻonui ʻia e ka poʻe loea i loko o nā studio me he mea lā ʻaʻole i ʻike iki i ka honua ma mua o ke koena o mākou.

ʻO ka hapa nui o nā poʻe kālai'āina US i kēia manawa ke kū nei ma o ka kipe kanawai ʻōnaehana mai ka ʻāina a i ka mokuʻāina a i ka politika aupuni, a hōʻea i Wakinekona me ka ʻike ʻole e pili ana i nā kulekele ʻē aʻe. Hāʻawi kēia iā lākou i mea palupalu e like me ka lehulehu i nā neocon cliches e like me ka ʻumi a i ʻole ʻumikūmālua i hoʻopili ʻia i loko o ka ʻōlelo a Albright no ka pana ʻana iā Iraq: kūʻokoʻa, democracy, ke ʻano o ke ola ʻAmelika, kū kiʻekiʻe, ka pōʻino iā mākou a pau, ʻo ʻAmelika mākou, pono ʻole. ka lāhui, ka mōhai, nā kāne a me nā wahine ʻAmelika i ka lole, a "pono ​​mākou e hoʻohana i ka ikaika."

Ke alo me ia paʻa paʻa o nationalistic drivel, Republicans a me Democrats like ua haʻalele haole kulekele paa i loko o ka 'ike akāka make lima lima o ka neocons, ka poe i lawe mai i ka honua wale chaos a me ka hana ino no 25 makahiki.

ʻO nā mea āpau akā ʻo nā lālā holomua a i ʻole libertarian o ka ʻAhaʻōlelo e hele pū me nā kulekele i kū'ē i ka honua maoli e pilikia ai lākou i ka luku ʻana iā ia, inā ma ka piʻi ʻana o ke kaua a i ʻole ma ka hana suicidal i ka pilikia o ke aniau a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. nā pilikia e pono ai mākou e hui pū me nā ʻāina ʻē e hoʻoponopono inā makemake mākou e ola.

ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha i ka manaʻo o ʻAmelika ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻonā ʻia nā pilikia o ka honua a ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa ka maluhia, no ka mea, ua hana ʻino loa ko mākou ʻāina i kona manawa unipolar o ka mana honua e hoʻohuli iā mākou ʻo ia ka hihia. Akā he mau koho kēia mau kulekele, a aia nā mea ʻē aʻe, e like me ka hōʻike nui ʻana o Kina a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe. Ke manao nei ka Peresidena Lula da Silva o Palakila e kukulu i "hui maluhia” o nā aupuni hoʻomalu e hoʻoponopono i ka hopena o ke kaua ma Ukraine, a hāʻawi kēia i ka manaolana hou no ka maluhia.

I ka wā o kāna huakaʻi koho a me kāna makahiki mua ma ke keʻena, ua pinepine ʻo Pelekikena Biden 'ōlelo hoʻopōmaikaʻi e hoʻokomo i kahi au hou o ka diplomacy ʻAmelika, ma hope o nā makahiki he nui o ke kaua a hoʻopaʻa i ka hoʻolilo kaua. ʻO Zach Vertin, i kēia manawa he kākā'ōlelo koʻikoʻi i ka UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, kakau iho la i ka makahiki 2020, ʻo ka hoʻoikaika ʻana o Biden e "kūkulu hou i kahi Oihana Moku'āina i hoʻopau ʻia" pono e hoʻokumu i kahi "ʻoihana kākoʻo mediation…

ʻO ka pane liʻiliʻi a Biden i kēia kelepona mai Vertin a me nā mea ʻē aʻe e höʻike i i Malaki 2022, ma hope o kona hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā hana diplomatic o Rūsia a ua hoʻouka ʻo Rūsia iā Ukraine. Aia i loko o ka 'Oihana Kāko'o Kūkākūkā hou o ka 'Oihana Moku'āina he 'ekolu mau limahana 'ōpio i ho'opa'a 'ia ma loko o ka Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations. ʻO kēia ka nui o ka hōʻailona hōʻailona a Biden i ka hoʻomalu maluhia, ʻoiai ke koli nei ka puka hale i ka makani a me nā ʻehā. nā hololio o ka apocalypse - Ke kaua, ka wi, ka lanakila a me ka make - holo hihiu ma ka honua.

E like me kā Zach Vertin i kākau ai, "Ua manaʻo pinepine ʻia ʻo ka mediation a me ke kūkākūkā ʻana he mākaukau hiki ke loaʻa i ka poʻe i komo i ka politika a i ʻole ka diplomacy, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā diploma diploma a me nā mea i koho ʻia i ke aupuni. Akā ʻaʻole ia ka hihia: ʻO ka mediation ʻoihana he loea kūikawā, pinepine ʻenehana, tradecraft i kāna pono ponoʻī.

ʻO ka luku nui ʻana o ke kaua he loea a ʻenehana hoʻi, a ke hoʻopuka nei ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa kokoke i kahi triliona dala i kēlā me kēia makahiki i loko. ʻO ke koho ʻia ʻana o ʻekolu mau limahana ʻoihana mokuʻāina ʻōpio e hoʻāʻo e hana i ka maluhia i loko o kahi honua i hoʻoweliweli ʻia a hoʻoweliweli ʻia e ka mīkini kaua trillion dollar o ko lākou ʻāina ponoʻī e hōʻoia hou ʻaʻole ʻo ka maluhia ka mea nui no ke aupuni US.

By Akä naÿe, Ua hoʻokumu ka European Union i kāna Hui Kākoʻo Mediation ma 2009 a i kēia manawa he 20 mau lālā hui e hana pū ana me nā hui ʻē aʻe mai kēlā me kēia ʻāina EU. He limahana ko ka 'Oihana Political and Peacebuilding Affairs o UN 4,500, laha a puni ka honua.

ʻO ka pōʻino o ka diplomacy ʻAmelika i kēia lā ʻo ia ka diplomacy no ke kaua, ʻaʻole no ka maluhia. ʻO nā mea nui o ka 'Oihana Moku'āinaʻaʻoleʻo ka maluhia, aʻaʻole hoʻi e lanakila maoli i nā kaua, i hanaʻoleʻia eʻAmelika Hui Pūʻia mai ka makahiki 1945, ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻouka houʻana i nā wahi neocolonial liʻiliʻi ma Grenada, Panama a me Kuwait. ʻO kāna mau mea nui e hoʻoweliweli i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe e hui pū me nā hui kaua alakaʻi a US a kūʻai aku i nā mea kaua US, e mute. kahea i ka maluhia ma nā hui honua, e hoʻokō i ke kānāwai a me ka make hoʻopaʻi koi, a e hoʻopololei i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe i loko mohai ko lākou poʻe i nā kaua proxy US.

ʻO ka hopena e hoʻomau i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka hana ʻino a me ka haunaele ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. Inā makemake mākou e ho'ōki i ko mākou mau aliʻi mai ka hele ʻana iā mākou i ke kaua nuklea, ka pōʻino o ke aniau a me ka luku nui ʻana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka wehe ʻana i kā mākou mau makapō a hoʻomaka i ke koi ʻana i nā kulekele e hōʻike ana i ko mākou mau manaʻo maikaʻi loa a me kā mākou mau pono maʻamau, ma kahi o ka makemake o ka poʻe hoʻomaʻamaʻa. ka poe kalepa o ka make i waiwai i ke kaua.

ʻO Medea Benjamin ka puʻukū o ʻO CODEPINK no ka maluhia, a me ka mea kākau o kekahi mau puke, e komo pū ai I loko o Iran:ʻO ka moʻoleloʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka politika o ka moku'Alapila o Iran.
