By ʻO David Swanson, Malaki 21, 2018.
ʻO ka paio a ka Pōʻalua a me ka koho i ka US Senate ma ka hopena paha (e hoʻomaopopo paha i ka koho aʻaʻole paha i ka hopena) E hoʻokomoʻia ke komoʻana o ka US i ke kaua ma Yemen. ʻOiaiʻo 55 US Senators hooholoia e hoʻomau i ke kaua e holo nei, 44 hooholoia ʻaʻole e pāʻani i ka hoʻoholo no ka hoʻopauʻana. ʻO kēlā mau 44,ʻo kekahi,ʻo "nā alakaʻi" e like me Senator Chuck Schumer,ʻaʻole i'ōlelo i kekahi hua'ōlelo i ka hakakā a ua koho waleʻia ke ala pololei i ka wā i lanakila ai kaʻaoʻao hewa. A ke manaʻo nei paha kekahi poʻe ke koho nei lākou e koho i ka koho, a ua koho lākou e koho hou i ke kaua. Akā, palekana ka'ōleloʻana aia ma ka hapanui o ka 44 e koho e hoʻopau i ke kaua - a he nui ka poʻe e'ōlelo pela.
Ke hoʻohana nei au i ka hua'ōlelo "hoʻopau i ke kaua," me kaʻoiaʻiʻo e hiki i ka Saudi Arabia ke hoʻomau i kāna kaua me ka hoʻokomoʻoleʻana o ke komoʻana o ka US - ma keʻano, no ka meaʻoi aku ka maʻalahi, aʻo kekahi hapa no ka mea ua'ōlelo nā poʻe akamaiʻaʻole e hiki i Saudi Arabia ke hana i kekahi mea e like me ka mea e hana nei me ke komoʻole o ka pūʻali koa US ma ka hoʻomaopopoʻana i nā hiʻona a me ka hoʻouluʻana i nā papa. Heʻoiaʻiʻo nō hoʻi,ʻo kaʻAmelika Hui Pūʻia e hōʻalo i ka mea i manaʻoʻia i ka Pōʻalua a e ho'ōki i ka hāʻawiʻana iā Saudi Arabia me nā papa a me nā pōā, a hoʻohana i kona mana ma keʻano he mea lawelawe meaʻaila a me ka hoa hakakā nui e kaohi i Saudi Arabia e hoʻopau i ke kaua a hāpai i ka pale, e pau loa ke kaua. A e mālamaʻia nā miliona o nā ola kanaka.
ʻO Virginia Senator Tim Kaine he mau alakaʻi nui loa ia no ka hōʻeaʻana i ka Halepule e'āpono i nā kaua, e hoʻomaopopo ana i kona makemake e mālama i kēlā mau kaua e hele wale ana me kaʻaeʻana o Congressional. Heʻokoʻa kēia manawa. Ua hoʻokipaʻo Kaine ma ke akea no nā pōlota e hoʻopau i ke komoʻana o ka US ma ke kaua ma Yemen. ʻO ia a me kona hoa hana mai Virginia Mark Warner (!) Ua kohoʻia e hoʻopau i ke kaua US. ʻAʻole au i maopopo i kekahi senate mai Virginia i hana i kēia mea ma mua. Aʻo ka meaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻaʻole i koho ka senate mai kekahi manawa i kahi hoʻonā i hoʻoholoʻia ma lalo o ke Kaua Powers Act ma mua, no ka mea,ʻo ia ka manawa mua i hōʻole ai kekahi senate e ho'āʻo i kēlā mea. Kaine:
"Ua hiki i ka miliona miliona ma Yemen ke make a me ka 10,000-plus i make no ke kaua e ka hopena i kaʻike, ua hina ka US i loko. Hoʻoikaika e kākoʻo i kēia noi e alakaʻi i ka laweʻiaʻana o nā pūʻali koa US. "
"Kuhi i loko"? E poina ana, ke'ōwili neiʻo ia.
Aʻo Kaine ka mea liʻiliʻi loa. No ka mākaʻikaʻiʻana iā Dianne Feinstein e hoʻopaʻapaʻa no ka pauʻana o ke kaua Ka lā pōā keʻano. E nānā ma waena o papa o ka mea i koho "Nay" a ho'ākāka hou i ia mau mea i loko o kou manaʻo ma keʻano he mau kānaka ma lalo o nā kūpono kūikawā (hikiʻole ke komo pū me ka hōʻoleʻole i ka hikiʻole i ka hapa nui) ke koho i kekahi manawa e hoʻopau i ke kaua. E kāhea wau i kēlā holomua.
Akā ināʻoe e nānā i ka paio C-Span,ʻo ka nīnau nui i loko o kou manaʻoʻaʻole paha "He aha ka hana hoʻokūkū, kaʻike, ka pōpilikia, a me ka pōmaikaʻi paha i loaʻa i ka poʻe 44 e koho i ke ala pololei?" akā, "no ke aha i hoʻonani aiʻo 55 i nā mea e pono ai ke koho pepehi pepehi kanaka? "No ke aha i hana ai lākou? No ke aha lākou i hoʻomaha ai i nā hālāwai o kaʻaha aupuni ma waena o ka hakakā, a me ka hakakāʻana i nā kānāwai'ē aʻe ma mua a ma hope o kēia hoʻoholoʻana, a hele a kamaʻilio me kekahi e like me he mea maʻamau, i ka wā e koho ai i ka luku kanaka?
Ua hōʻikeʻikeʻia nā mea i kūpono i ka hihia ma ka paioʻana e nā poʻe Senate he nui o nāʻAmelika mai nāʻaoʻaoʻelua. Ua hōʻino lākou i nā kaua e like me "wahaheʻe." Hōʻike lākou i ka pōʻino weliweli, ka make, nāʻeha, ka pōloli, ka maʻi cholera. Ua haʻi aku lākou i ka hoʻopuka a me ka manaʻo o Saudi Arabia i ka pōloli e like me ka mea pepehi. Uaʻike lākou i ka pale kū'ē i nā kōkua kōkua kanaka i hoʻokumuʻia e Saudi Arabia. Ua kamaʻilio pinepine lākou i ka maʻi nui loa o ka maʻi cholera. Eia kahi leka mai ka luna Senator Chris Murphy:
"Wāhi manawa manawa o ka Senate i kēia mau lā: e koho mākou inā e hoʻomau i ka pāʻoihana US / Saudi ma ke Yemen i pepehi ma luna o nā kānaka civilika 10,000 a hanaʻia ka hanu cholera nui ma ka moʻolelo."
Ua nīnauʻo Senator Jeff Merkley i ka hana pūʻana me kekahi aupuni e ho'āʻo ana e make i nā miliona o nā kānaka e make me nā māʻula o ka United States of America. Ua pane aku au i kahi pane: "E pono anei iaʻu e haʻi aku iā ia a kali paha i kona mau hoa hana?" Ma ka hopena, ua paneʻo 55 o kāna mau hoa i kāna nīnau a me ka puke moʻolelo.
ʻO ka hoʻowahāwahā o nā manaʻo hoʻopiʻi no ka hoʻomauʻana i ke kaua i kāheaʻia e nā senate ma ka papa. Ua haʻi akuʻo Senator Mitch McConnell a me nā mea'ē aʻe iā lākou e ke Kākau'ōlelo ("Defense") James Mattis,ʻo ka hopena o ka hoʻokomoʻiaʻana o ka US ma nā pāʻani bomb i Yemen hou nā make kīwila ma Yemen,ʻaʻoleʻuʻuku. ʻO kekahi poʻe i pale aku i ka koi a nā loio a Trump, e'ōlelo ana i ka loioʻo Obamaʻo Harold Koh,ʻo ka hoʻokūkūʻana i ka pāʻani'āinaʻaʻole "he kaua" aʻaʻole hoʻi "nā hakakā" ināʻaʻole hoʻokūkūʻia ka pūʻali koa US ma ka honua.
Ua kāpae ke Aliʻi Berie Bernie Sanders i keʻano o nā mea lapuwale. Ua paipaiʻo ia i ka ho'āʻoʻana e haʻi i nā poʻe o Yemen e paipaiʻia ana me nā pōmoku a US a me nā US i hoʻokumuʻia a me nā moku kūʻai i hoʻoliloʻia e nāʻAmelika Hui PūʻIa.
ʻO ka manaʻo o ka Senate piha e waiho i kahi kōmike i ka mea a ka komite i hanaʻole ai i ka hoʻopiliʻana i nā makahiki i hoʻokahe ponoʻia i waho o ka 'aha hoʻokolokolo.
Ua hōʻikeʻo Senator Mike Lee i kāna mau hoa e hoʻopau ana i ke kaua US ma Yemen ma muli o ka hewaʻole e ho'ēmi a hoʻokuʻu paha i kekahi mau hana kaua'ē aʻe aʻAmelika. (Ke maopopo nei ua hoʻomahaʻoe e hoʻolohe i kēlā!)
No ko lākou hōʻoia, ua akāka loaʻo Senator Murphy lāuaʻo Lee a me Sanders e pane ana i ka pane ma ka pāʻani, ma mua o ka koho kohoʻana i ka hopena o ke kaua, he mea hopohopoʻole ia no ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa aʻaʻole e mālama i ke Kumukānāwai US. A no ka nui o ko lākou mahalo, ua hele mua lākou a ua loaʻa ka hakakā ma mua o ka kohoʻana. I ka manawa i hala ma mua a ma kahi o hoʻokahi manawa o nā manawa he nui a mākou iʻike ai i kēlā mau'ōlelo hoʻoholo i hoʻokomoʻia i mua o ka Hale, ua'ōlelo nā mea kū'ē i ka meaʻoi aku i ka wā e kamaʻilio ana nā hakakā wale nō. Ua holomua kēia hoʻololi.
No laila, no ke aha? No ke aha i koho ai ka Senate no ka pepehi kanaka? A no ke aha i meaʻole ai kekahi i kēia mea?
ʻO ka maikaʻi o nā manaʻo o nā Senators ma kaʻaoʻao'ākau o ka hakakā, ua waiho waleʻia kekahi mea e makemakeʻia. Ua'ōleloʻo Sanders i nā mea make i nā kaua ma Vietnam a me Iraq, aʻo lākou nāʻAmelika. Ua'ōleloʻo ia i ke kaua ma Vietnam me ka luku loa i nā hanaunaʻAmelika. He kaua kēia i pepehi i ka 6 miliona kānaka ma Vietnam, Laos, a me Cambodia, a me 50,000 mai ka United States. Pehea e hiki ai i nā kānaka ke noʻonoʻo e pili ana i nā pepehi kanaka āpau inā pili mākouʻaʻole lākou e ola ana?
Ua'ōleloʻo Senator Tom Udall mai ka WWII a hiki i ka pelekikena o Donald Trump iʻAmelika Huipūʻia, he kūlana hanohano,ʻo ia ke kānāwai, he alakaʻi kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻolahaʻana i ka'ikekalakala, akāʻaʻole naʻe i pololei loa. I kēia'ōleloʻana, ua hoʻolakoʻo Udall i ka mana o ka mana, a me ka kākau houʻana i ka moʻolelo Hawaiʻi. ʻAʻole iʻaeʻia kaʻaha kanakaʻAmelika no ke kohoʻana ma ka Poalua. ʻAʻohe leo.
ʻO ka hoʻolālāʻana i kaupalenaʻia, ua pōʻinoʻia e nā loopholes, aʻaʻole pono i hahau ponoʻia e ka hapa nui o ka poʻe i koho e kū'ē i ke kauʻana. Uaʻoi aʻe paha ka hewa o ka hoʻonā ikaika. A iʻole paha heʻoi aku kaʻoi aku o ke kūpono o ka hihia kū'ē i ke kaua. Aʻole maopopo iaʻu. Akā,ʻo ka manaʻo e hoʻokau i ka lima a kōkua i ke aupuni aupuni Saudi i nā poʻe panaʻia i ka wā i kapaʻiaʻo iaʻo "anti-ISIS",ʻaʻole naʻe i ka manawa e kapaʻia ai he anti-Houthi, he meaʻoi aku kaʻoi aku ka meaʻoi aku ma mua o ka mea e kāohi aiʻoe i ke kāʻei me ke kōkua i ka luku kanaka me ka hoʻohaunaele i ka lehulehu, ka hoʻokuʻuʻana i ke kālā mai nā manaʻo kanaka, ka hōʻinoʻana i ka nohona, ka uhaki i ke kānāwai, ka nohoaliʻiʻana i ka pelesidena, ka hakakā i kāu moʻomeheu a me nā kula a me nā mākaʻi, a hoʻololi i kāu aupuni me ke aupuni mō'ī.
ʻO ia paha kahi hihia e pono e hana muaʻia i mua o ka lehulehu a ma hope o nā senators, akā, he nui nā senate e hoʻomaopopo ana i ko lākou manaʻo. ʻAʻoleʻo ia i ho'āʻo e hōʻoluʻolu iā lākou e pili ana i kahi hoʻonohonoho mua. ʻO kekahi o lākou i hopohopo maoli i ka hanaʻana i nā pupuhi e puhi ana i nā hale o nā kānaka ma kekahi'āina, ua heluʻiaʻo "nā hakakā," a laila hiki ke heluʻia nā pana e lele ana i nā hale o nā kānaka ma kekahi'āina. He honua anei ka kakou ?!
No laila,ʻo ka hoʻoholo no kekahi kaua,ʻaʻole ia he koho wale no hoʻokahi kaua. He koho ia e hoʻohalahala, ināʻoi iki, ka mana o ka mīkini kaua. ʻO kēia poʻe Senators uku ia ʻaʻole pēlā.
Eia ka papa inoa o nā Senators a me kā lākou mau makana (2018) (eʻae mai iaʻu, nā hoʻolaha kālā) mai nā mea kūʻai aku i ka make (eʻae mai iaʻu, nā pūʻali pale). Ua hōʻike wau pehea lākou i koho ai ma ka hoʻopaʻaʻana i ka hoʻonāʻana o ka Pōʻalua me kahi Y a N. He pāloka pāʻokoʻaʻo Y:
