Ma ʻApelila, 2017 Symposium e pili ana i ka maluhia ma Nashville, TN, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Martha Hennessy e pili ana i nā loina waena o Maryhouse, kahi home hoʻokipa ma New York City, kahi e noho pinepine ai ʻo Martha a hana. I kēlā me kēia lā, hoʻāʻo ka kaiāulu e mālama i nā ʻōlelo aʻo a Dorothy Day, ko Tūtū kupuna wahine, nāna i hoʻokumu i nā hale hoʻokipa a me kahi neʻe ikaika i nā makahiki 1930. I loko o kāna kamaʻilio ʻana, ua paʻa ʻo ia i kahi kope kāleka nui o kekahi o nā neʻe o nā neʻe o kā neʻe ʻana o kā mākou kiʻi, ʻo Rita Corbin ka inoa o ka hana kālai lāʻau "The Works of Mercy" a me "The Works of War."
Heluhelu ʻo ia iā mākou. “Nā Hana o ke aloha: hānai i ka mea pōloli; E inu i ka mea make wai; E aahu i ka olohelohe; E kipa aku i ka hale paʻahao; Mālama i ka poʻe maʻi; Kanu i ka poʻe make. ” A laila heluhelu ʻo ia: “Nā Hana o ke Kaua: Luku i nā mea kanu a me ka ʻāina; Hopu i nā lako meaʻai; Luku i nā hale; Nā ʻohana hoʻopuehu; Wai hoʻohaumia; Nā mea kūpale paʻahao; ʻEha ʻeha, puhi; Pepehi i ka poʻe ola. ”
I ka pule aʻe, ua noi ʻia ʻo General James Mattis e koho i ka make make ʻana o ka make mai ka US mua ma Nangarhar lalawigan, ʻo Afghanistan, o ka MOAB, a i ʻole Ka Hōʻona Uila ʻoi aku ka pōʻai, ʻo ia ka mea kaua i kaua ʻole ʻia i ka lāʻau kaua US.
"Ke noho mamao aku mākou mai BDA, (loiloi pōpilikia pōkā), e pili ana i ka nui o ka ʻenemi i luku ʻia," i haʻi aku ʻo ia i nā mea paʻi puke e hele pū ana me ia ma ʻIseraʻela. "Ke hoʻomau nei i kā mākou ʻano akeakamai like ʻole i komo i loko o ia mea, eia kekahi, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻeli i loko o nā pana i mea e make ai ʻaʻole hoʻohana maikaʻi ʻia nā kino i ka manawa o kā mākou pūʻali koa. ”
ʻO kāna manaʻo e manaʻo nei e kani i ke kanaka nui, ʻO Colin Powell, ka mea i nīnau ʻia i ka nui o nā koa Iraqi paha i luku ʻia e nā pūʻali koa US e hoʻouka kaua ana iā ʻIraka i ka makahiki 1991, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "ʻAʻole ia he helu maoli aʻu e hoihoi nui nei." Ua hoʻomaopopo kekahi o nā pūkaua ʻē aʻe i kekahi o kēlā mau pūʻali koa Iraqi, nā conscripts e hoʻāʻo nei e hāʻawi pio, ua kanu maoli ʻia i loko o kā lākou mau ʻauwaha e nā palau e hoʻopili i nā pahu wai o US. I kēia mau lā, Lutanela Kenela ʻO'Aundre F. Piggee ua ʻae ʻo ia i ka wā o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o ka pūʻali koa 2007 US ma ʻIraka, i ka wā i piʻi aʻe ai nā make kīwila e 70%, ʻaʻole "hopohopo" ka pūʻali koa US e pili ana i ka palena ʻana i nā make kīwila.
He aha nā mea hopohopo a me nā makemake o ka poʻe generals ma Iraq a me Afghanistan? Pehea ka ikaika o kā lākou hopohopo no ka ola pono o kā lākou poʻe pūʻulu? Ua kākau kekahi mau pūʻulu koa o nā kaua US i Afghanistan a me Iraq i nā memo launa e pili ana i ka launa ʻana o kā lākou lawe, e hoʻopiʻi ana i nā luna o ka hoʻouna ʻana iā lākou i nā misionari lapuwale. Nui ʻO Daniel Sjursen, kākau no ʻO Tom Dispatch, e wehewehe i nā kumu kumu no ke kaua holoʻokoʻa o ʻAmelika i Afghanistan e like me nā moemoeā. Ua kū ʻo ia i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā US lehulehu i nā hoʻolaha a me nā manaʻo nui no nā manaʻo hoʻolālā i hoʻolālā ʻia e lanakila ai ka mea a lākou i ʻike ai he kaua aloha ʻole hoʻi. Ua wehewehe ʻo ia i ka hoʻopunipuni ʻana o nā ola o nā koa i ka hoʻopale ʻana i nā kauhale i haʻalele nui ʻia, a me ka nānā ʻole o ka uku ʻana aku i nā pūʻali koa kiʻekiʻe e loaʻa i nā piliona huila no nā mea kaua pono ʻole e kū'ē i nā pū o ka ʻenemi:
Pololei kēnā, ka “Taliban” kūloko - kahi manawa nebulous ua nalowale loa ia i nā mea āpau 'o ia hoʻi - ua hiki ke hoʻololi loa i nā hana a ka pūʻali koa US me nā mea pahū, nā mea pāhū home mālama i loko o nā paʻi kala. A manaʻoʻiʻo mai iaʻu, he pilikia nui kēia. Kūleʻa, hoʻomeʻewa, a maʻalahi hoʻi e kanu,ʻo ka poʻe i hōʻaloʻia e nā mea hōʻailona Pāhana Hoʻopiʻi, aiʻole nā IED, hōʻole kokeʻia nā "alanui," nā kuamoʻo, a me nā māla'āina e pili ana i ko mākou wahi. Ma mua o ka nui o nā luna iʻae i kaʻaeʻana, ua hoʻoneʻe kaʻenemi i ka hōʻemi i kā mākou mau pono pāʻoihanaʻoihana no kekahi mau pennies i ke kālā (aiʻole paha,ʻoiai kamailio e pili ana i ka Pentagon, ua ukuʻia ma nā miliona miliona).
I loko o kahi o nā nīhou hou, ua hoʻomāloʻi ʻo Sjursen a me nā mea hoʻōla kaua o ʻAmelika i Afghanistan i kēlā me kēia o nā ʻano like ʻole o nā US a me nā hoa hana pro-war i hāʻawi ai i nā mokulele i mea e pale aku ai i ka hōʻino a me ka luku ʻana i ka US ma loko o ʻumikumamāono mau makahiki o "kaua generational. 'Ma Afghanistan, ma kahi o ka US ua hōʻike ʻia e pale aku ai ke kaua iā Afghans mai ka Taliban.
ʻAʻohe manaʻo o ka poʻe hana kai kaua a me ka pākeke ponoʻī ʻana i ke kōkua ʻana i ka poʻe ʻAmelika e hoʻomaopopo he kaua paʻakū ʻo ia iho, ʻo ke kani ʻana o ka pū ahi a i kahi pahu drone paha he nui o kahi kauoha e holo ai i ka home e like me kekahi kauoha mai kahi koa Taliban. Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā keiki i ke kaua, e noho ana i ka palekana o nā pā kauka ʻana o Kabul e pale i ka pōloli i ka pōloli, i ka maʻi, a me nā mea weliweli loa, ʻoiai hoʻi ka ʻōlelo pinepine ʻana mai o nā makuahine iā mākou inā ʻaʻole no nā keiki e lawe mai nei i nā pōpoki o nā meaʻai i kālai ʻia ma ka mākeke. a me ka ʻoihana hana o nā keiki hana ma nā alanui, e pōloli nā ʻohana. ʻIhea lā e pau ana ka US, a hea hea lā e haʻalele ai, ʻo kēia kaua āna i hana ai i aliʻi no Afghanistan?
Mubasri, ʻumi makahiki, noho ʻo Kabul. Kōkua ʻo ia i kāna ʻohana ma ke ʻano polū i kēlā me kēia lā mai 7: 00 a i 12 pm A laila, ma ke ʻano he APV "ʻOihana keiki kime" a pau, hele ʻo ia i ke kula i ka lua o ka lā o ka lā, ua hōʻoia ʻia e ka APV e uku. makuahine no ka loaʻa kālā i loaʻa ai iā ia. Hāʻawi ka APV iā ia i kahi haʻawina makahiki i ka laiki, ka aila kuke a me ka hapa liʻiliʻi o nā pīni.
Ma ka hou o kūkākūkā wikiō me Mubasir, ʻo Hakim, ka mea nāna e alakaʻi i ka APV, nīnau inā he pilikia kūikawā kāna ma ka home. Pane aku ʻo Mubasir: “He nui ko mākou pilikia. Aia koʻu makuakāne i ka hale paʻahao. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻokele ma kaʻu iho. ʻAʻohe nui ma ka home. ” Loaʻa iā Mubasir ka awelika o 75 keneta i $ 1.50 i kēlā me kēia lā.
Aia anei ʻoe i nā hua ma ka home? ”Nīnau ʻo Hakim. "ʻAʻole," wahi a Mubasir. "A me ka ʻai?" "ʻAʻole loa, ʻaʻole paha hiki iā kākou ka ʻiʻo." Nīnau ʻia inā he ʻoluʻolu ʻo ia i ka wā o ka lā, ma hope o ka hana ʻana i kakahiaka a me ke kula i ke ahiahi, ua ʻike ʻo Mubasir e hana ana ia i kāna hana home mai 7: 00 pm i 8: 00 pm "A laila ʻōlelo wau i kaʻu mau pule a hele e hiamoe."
ʻAʻohe mea i kōkua ʻia ʻo Mubasir e ka US a i ke aupuni Afghanistan. Akā ua aʻo ʻo Afghan i ke kōkua kekahi i kekahi. Ua nānā pono wau i ka mālama kaiāulu APV, hohonu a me ka hana, e pili ana i ka hānai ʻana i ka pōloli, ka lawe ʻana mai i ka mea inu wai, a ke kipa aku i nā poʻe i hele a paʻa i loko o nā kahua hoʻokele. I kēlā me kēia makahiki, hāʻawi lākou i ka mahanahana no nā ʻohana me ka pilikia o ka make ʻana i ka make i ka wā o ka maloʻo Afghan wā.
ʻOiai he mea maʻalahi loa, i ka wā mua, e hoʻohālikelike i nā hana o ka maluhia a me nā hana a ke kaua. Hoʻololi mau nei nā mākaʻikaʻi ʻAmelika iā mākou i nā hana kōkua kanaka e hoʻokumu i nā aupuni kūpaʻa, demokratika i nā wahi a pau o nā hale o nā pōmaikaʻi, nā hale waiwai a me nā mea kanu uila, ka hoʻohemo ʻana i nā ʻekekele āpau a me nā kino lehulehu, e hana ana i nā waiwai ʻole o ka pīhoihoi a me ka huhū a me ke kaumaha mai ka wā e ulu ai ke aupuni. ʻAʻole paha e poina iā mākou e like me Mubasir no ka mea ma hope o ka lohe ʻana i kēia mau mea hiki ʻole ke poina iā mākou, ke poina mākou i ko mākou mau haʻahaʻa kanaka a noho ʻana no ka ʻāpono no ko mākou mau ʻenemi hewa ʻole o ka lāhui hewa a me ka hoʻomana.
Pono loa ke kōkua kanaka i Afghanistan, akā hiki ke hoʻomālamalama i ka pōkole inā nā poʻe e lawe ana i nā mea kaua. Hoʻololi ʻia ka waiwai i ʻike ʻia no ka poʻe ʻilihune me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka nui o nā lāhui i hakakā i kahi kaua. ʻO ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana ma loko o Afghanistan, me ka pūʻali koa US, ʻaʻole hiki i nā hana aloha ke hana i nā hana o ke kaua. Aia ke kaua a me ke kūpaʻa o ke kaua a no ka hopena o Afghanistan a hiki i ka manaʻo o ʻAmelika e hāʻawi hou i nā mea hou aku i ka wahi akā ua hua ʻia ka nui o kāna kaua kūwaho.
Noho koʻu mau hoaaloha Afghan uʻi i kahi ʻāina kahi e weluwelu, hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻia, a nahā. ʻIke lākou i ka mea e hoʻoulu ai ke kaua. Eia nō naʻe lākou e manaʻo nei aia nō ka makemake o ka poʻe ʻAmelika, me ka poʻe me nā loea, e hoʻopau i ke kaua a noho pū me ka make ʻole o kekahi.
