By David Swanson, Peb Hlis 21, 2018.
Kev sib cav txog hnub Tuesday thiab kev pov npav hauv US Senate ntawm seb puas yuav xaus (txheej txheem txawm tias yuav tsum los tsis xaiv los tsis ua kom xaus) Teb chaws Asmeskas kev koom tes hauv kev ua tsov rog rau Yemen tuaj yeem qhia tau los ua cov kauj ruam tom ntej. Thaum lub sij hawm 55 Asmeskas Cov Neeg Tawm Tsam tau xaiv txhawm rau txhawm rau txhawm rau sib ntaus sib tua, 44 tau xaiv tsis yog teeb rooj los daws teeb meem kom tas. Ntawm cov 44, qee qhov, suav nrog "cov thawj coj" xws li Senator Chuck Schumer, tsis tau hais ib lo lus hauv kev sib cav thiab tsuas yog xaiv txoj kev yog thaum txoj kev tsis ncaj ncees tau yeej. Thiab tej zaum ib txhia yuav hais tias lawv tau pov npav qhov muaj kev xaiv tsa, uas lawv yuav tau xaiv rau kev ua tsov ua rog ntxiv. Tab sis nws muaj kev nyab xeeb hais tias tsawg kawg ntawm feem ntau 44 tau xaiv tsa los xaus kev ua tsov rog - thiab ntau ntawm lawv hais meej meej yog li.
Kuv siv cov lus "xaus tsov rog," txawm hais tias Saudi Arabia tuaj yeem txuas ntxiv nws txoj kev ua tsov rog tsis muaj Asmeskas koom tes - ib feem, vim tias nws yooj yim dua, thiab ib feem vim tias cov kws tshaj lij tau hais tias Saudi Arabia tsis tuaj yeem ua dab tsi zoo li nws ua. yam tsis muaj kev koom tes nrog Asmeskas tub rog ntawm kev txheeb xyuas cov phiaj thiab cov dav hlau roj. Nws yog qhov tseeb ntxiv tias yog Tebchaws Asmeskas mus dhau qhov kev txiav txim siab rau hnub Tuesday thiab tsum tsis pub Saudi Arabia nrog cov dav hlau thiab foob pob, thiab siv nws lub hwj chim raws li cov neeg siv roj thiab dav dav tus khub ua rau kom Saudi Arabia xaus kev tsov rog thiab nqa lub thaiv, lub rog yuav xaus nkaus. Thiab ntau lab ntawm tib neeg lub neej yuav tsis ntshai.
Virginia Senator Tim Kaine tau ntau xyoo dhau los ua tus thawj coj uas tau txais Congress los tso cai rau kev ua tsov ua rog, qhia meej tias nws xav ua kom muaj kev tsov rog no mus ntxiv tab sis nrog kev tso cai los ntawm Congressional. Lub sijhawm no tau sib txawv. Kaine thawb pej xeem rau txoj kev pov npav kom xaus rau Asmeskas kev koom tes hauv kev ua tsov rog rau Yemen. Nws thiab txawm nws cov npoj yaig los ntawm Virginia Mark Warner (!) Tau pom zoo kom muaj kev tsov rog Asmeskas. Kuv tsis paub meej tias ib tug txwj laus dhau los ntawm Virginia puas tau tau ua cov haujlwm zoo li no dua. Thiab qhov tseeb, tsis muaj ib tug neeg sawv cev xaiv tsa los ntawm txhua qhov chaw tau pov npav txog qhov kev daws teeb meem raws li tsab cai War Power Powers ua ntej, vim tias qhov no yog thawj zaug uas ib tug neeg sawv cev twg hauv lub xeev tau sim los sim qhov no. Kaine tweeted:
"Ntau lab hauv Yemen yuav tshaib plab thiab 10,000-ntxiv yog qhov tuag vim tias muaj kev sib ntaus sib tua tsis muaj qhov kawg ntawm kev pom, tias Asmeskas tau dawm. Tau hais khov kho los txhawb nqa cov lus pom zoo no los tswj kev tshem ntawm Asmeskas cov tub rog. ”
“Ruam nkag mus rau hauv”? Tsis nco qab, nws mus dov.
Thiab Kaine tsawg tshaj plaws ntawm nws. Txhawm rau saib Dianne Feinstein sib cav rau kev xaus tsov rog tau muaj ntau yam Twilight tsam yam rau nws. Saib dhau ntawm daim ntawv teev ntawm leej twg tau pov npav "Nay" thiab rov txiav txim siab hauv lawv lub siab raws li cov neeg uas nyob hauv qab txoj cai (tsis suav nrog kev tuaj yeem tsis ncav feem ntau) yuav qee zaum xaiv tsa kom xaus kev ua rog. Kuv yuav hu qhov kev kawm ntawd.
Tab sis yog tias koj saib kev sib cav ntawm C-Kev Ntseeg, cov lus nug saum toj kawg nkaus hauv koj lub siab yuav tsis yog "Dab tsi ua tsis tau zoo, cov ntaub ntawv, kev sib tsoo, lossis hmoov tau txais 44 cov neeg los xaiv txoj cai?" tab sis theej "Vim li cas 55 muaj kev zoo siab, noj mov zoo, cov neeg muaj kev nyab xeeb hauv kev sib foob tsuas yog xaiv rau kev tua neeg? ”Vim li cas lawv thiaj ua li ntawd? Vim li cas lawv thiaj los so rau cov rooj sib tham txog kev nom kev tswv hauv nruab nrab ntawm kev sib cav, thiab sib cav txog lwm cov cai lij choj ua ntej thiab tom qab qhov kev daws teeb meem no, thiab taug kev ncig thiab sib tham ua ke zoo ib yam li yog txhua tus li qub, thaum pov npav rau kev tua neeg?
Cov ntsiab lus tseeb ntawm qhov teeb meem tau nthuav tawm meej heev hauv kev sib cav los ntawm ntau tus neeg koom siab hauv Asmeskas ntawm ob tog. Lawv tau hais tawm tsam kev dag ua tsov ua rog zoo li "dag." Lawv tau taw qhia txog kev puas tsuaj, kev tuag, kev raug mob, kev tshaib kev nqhis, tus mob raws plab. Lawv tau hais txog Saudi Arabia qhov kev qhia meej meej thiab kev siv lub tshaib plab yog siv riam phom. Lawv tau sau tias qhov thaiv kev tiv thaiv cov neeg pab neeg raug txwv los ntawm Saudi Arabia. Lawv tsis tham txog qhov mob hnyav tshaj plaws raws li pom muaj. Ntawm no yog ib qho tweet los ntawm Senator Chris Murphy:
"Gut xyuas lub sijhawm tam sim no rau Senate hnub no: peb yuav xaiv tsa seb puas yuav ua ntxiv Meskas / Saudi bombing kev sib tw hauv Yemen uas tau tua ntau dua 10,000 cov neeg pej xeem thiab tsim muaj tus kabmob hnyav tshaj plaws hauv keeb kwm."
Senator Jeff Merkley tau nug seb puas muaj kev koom tes nrog tsoomfwv uas tau sim ua rau coob tus tib neeg tuag tshaib tuag nrog txoj ntsiab cai ntawm Tebchaws Meskas. Kuv tau teb ib qho lus teb: "Kuv puas yuav qhia nws lossis tos thiab cia nws cov npoj yaig ua nws?" Thaum kawg, 55 ntawm nws cov npoj yaig tau teb nws cov lus nug thiab txhua phau ntawv keeb kwm tuaj yeem ua.
Txoj kev tsis txaus ntseeg ntawm kev sib ceg rau kev ua rog txuas ntxiv tau hu tawm ntawm cov neeg koom siab sawv cev hauv pem teb. Senator Mitch McConnell thiab lwm tus tau ua tsab ntawv foob rau lawv los ntawm Secretary of War ("Tiv Thaiv") James Mattis, tias xaus kev koom nrog Asmeskas rau kev ua foob pob hauv tebchaws Yemen yuav txhais tau tias ntau neeg tuag nyob hauv Yemen, tsis tsawg. Lwm tus pom tias Trump tus kws lij choj, hais qhia Obama tus kws lij choj Harold Koh, tias kev tso hoob pob lub teb chaws tsis yog "kev tsov rog" lossis "kev tawm tsam" yog tias Asmeskas cov tub rog tsis nyob hauv av.
Senator Bernie Sanders muab tso tseg mus rau qhov tsis muaj tseeb li ntawd. Nws pom zoo sim qhia rau cov neeg Yemen yog pob nrog US cov foob pob thiab Asmeskas hom phiaj thiab Asmeskas dav hlau-dav hlau uas Tsoomfwv Meskas tsis koom nrog tiag.
Lub tswv yim tias Pab Pawg Thawj Pwm Tsav tag nrho yuav tsum tawm mus rau ib pab pawg uas muaj teeb meem pawg neeg uas tsis tau thab mus thawm xyoo yog tseem raug luag thuam tawm hauv tsev hais plaub.
Senator Mike Lee tau rov hais dua nws cov npoj yaig tias kev xaus tsov rog Asmeskas ntawm tebchaws Yemen txog kev ua txhaum cai tsis qeeb lossis nres lwm qhov kev ua tsov rog Asmeskas txhaum cai. (Kuv paub tseeb tias koj tau maj mloog! ”
Txhawm rau lawv qhov kev lees paub, Senators Murphy thiab Lee thiab Sanders tau qhia meej tias kev pov npav rau rooj, es tsis yog pov npav ncaj qha, lawv cov kev daws teebmeem xaus tsov rog, yuav yog pov npav tsis muaj kev sib cav thiab tsis ua raws li US Txoj Cai. Thiab kom lawv tau txais txiaj ntsig zoo dua, lawv tau mus tom ntej thiab muaj kev sib cav sib cav ua ntej kev xaiv tsa rau lub rooj. Nyob rau yav dhau los tsawg kawg ib lub sijhawm ntawm ntau lub sijhawm uas peb tau pom cov kev daws teeb meem ntawd tau coj mus tom tsev, cov neeg txhawb kev sib cav sib ceg tau sib hais thaum cov neeg tawm tsam tsuas hais txog txoj kev ua. Qhov kev hloov pauv no ib yam nkaus thiab.
Yog li, vim li cas? Vim li cas Senate thiaj li pov npav rau txoj kev tua neeg? Thiab vim li cas tsis muaj leej twg xav tsis thoob nws?
Zoo, qhov kev sib cav los ntawm Senators ntawm sab xis ntawm kev sib cav yeej tau tso qee yam kom xav tau. Sanders hais txog cov tuag nyob hauv kev tsov rog ntawm Nyablaj thiab Iraq, thiab lawv puavleej yog neeg Asmeskas. Nws hais tias tsov rog nyab laj yuav luag txhua tiam neeg Asmeskas tuag tag. Qhov no yog kev coj ua rog uas tau tua 6 lab tus neeg hauv Nyab Laj, Nplog, thiab Qhab Meem, ntxiv rau 50,000 los ntawm Tebchaws Meskas. Tib neeg tuaj yeem xav li cas txog kev tua tsiaj ib zaug yog tias peb ua txuj tias lawv tsis muaj tiag?
Senator Tom Udall tau hais tias txij WWII mus txog thaum thawj coj los ntawm Donald Trump tebchaws Meskas yog tus muaj cai tshaj, muaj txoj cai lij choj, coj tus thawj coj ntawm kev tshaj tawm txoj kev ywj pheej, txawm hais tias tsis zoo tag nrho. Hauv kev hais li no, Udall bestows rau Trump ib qho ntawm cov hwj huam yees siv, nrog rau rov sau dua keeb kwm Asmeskas keeb kwm. Tsoomfwv Meskas tau tso cai tsis pov npav rau hnub Tuesday. Tsis yog Trump.
Qhov kev daws teeb meem nws tus kheej tau raug txwv, muaj kev nyuaj siab los ntawm loopholes, thiab tsis yog qhov kev xav tau los ntawm ntau ntawm cov neeg pov ntawv tawm tsam tsis tau. Tej zaum qhov kev daws teeb meem zoo dua yuav ua tsis tau tejyam phem dua. Lossis tej zaum muaj ntau dua qhov kev sib tawm tsam ntawm kev ua tsov ua rog yuav raug ntxias haub dua. Kuv tsis paub. Tab sis cov kev xav hais tias koj yuav tsum sab caj npab thiab pab lub Saudi dictatorship hauv kev tso hoob pob rau tib neeg thaum nws hu ua anti-ISIS thiab tsis yog thaum nws hu ua anti-Houthi zoo li yog ib rooj plaub trickier los ua dua ib qho uas koj yuav tsum nres arming thiab pab hauv kev tua neeg ntawm tib neeg. quavntsej, ua rau muaj ntau tus yeeb ncuab, ua rau pej xeem tsis muaj zog, txhuav nyiaj txiag los ntawm tib neeg cov kev xav tau, ua rau muaj kev puas tsuaj rau ib puag ncig, tshem txoj cai, ua tsis tiav txoj cai tswj hwm, ua haujlwm rau koj cov kab lis kev cai thiab tsev kawm ntawv thiab tub ceev xwm, thiab kho koj lub tseem fwv nrog kev lim hiam.
Tej zaum qhov ntawd yog yam uas yuav tsum tau ua rau pej xeem ua ntej thiab tom qab ntawd rau cov neeg tawm suab, tab sis ntau tus neeg koom siab tau qhia meej tias lawv xav li cas. Lee tsis tau tawm hauv kev sim ua rau lawv rov hais txog kev teeb tsa ua ntej. Ib qho ntawm lawv txhawj tias yog tias kev sib tsoo cov neeg foob pob uas ua rau tib neeg lub tsev nyob hauv ib lub teb chaws raug suav tias yog "kev tawm tsam," ces rov qab tua cov neeg foob pob uas ua rau tib neeg lub tsev nyob hauv ib lub teb chaws tuaj yeem suav tias yog "kev ua tawm tsam." lub ntiaj teb peb puas yuav muaj ?!
Yog li, kev pov npav tawm tsam ib qho kev ua tsov rog tsis yog ib txoj kev xaiv tsa tawm tsam ib qho kev ua rog xwb. Nws yog kev xaiv tsa rau qhov kev sib tw, yog tias puas yog li me ntsis, lub zog ntawm lub tshuab ua tsov ua rog. Cov Senators no them kom tsis txhob ua li ntawd.
Ntawm no yog cov npe Senators thiab lawv cov nyiaj xNUMXX nyiaj (thov txim, kev txhawb nqa kev sib tw) los ntawm cov neeg ua lag luam ntawm kev tuag (zam txim rau kuv, cov tuam txhab tiv thaiv).

Pom tseeb ib qho yuav tsum saib ntawm ntau lub suab thiab lwm yam kev ua, thiab ntawm kev xiab nyiaj los ntawm cov xyoo dhau los, thiab ntawm tus nqi sib piv ntawm kev khiav hauv txhua lub xeev, thiab lwm yam, tab sis peb pom ntawm no 51 ntawm 55 yog cov pov npav tau txais riam phom muaj txiaj ntsig, thiab feem ntau lawv nyob ze rau saum lossis nruab nrab ntawm daim ntawv no. Thiab peb pom 42 ntawm 44 tsis muaj kev pov npav tau txais riam phom muaj txiaj ntsig, thiab feem ntau ntawm lawv nyob ze nruab nrab lossis hauv qab ntawm daim ntawv no. Ntawm cov neeg tau txais 70 saum toj kawg nkaus, 43 pom zoo yog lawm. Ntawm hauv qab cov neeg tau txais 20, 14 xaiv tsa tsis tau.
Qhov loj dua yuav zoo li yog pawg kasmoos, vim tias 45 ntawm 55 yog cov neeg xaiv tsa yog Republican (ntxiv rau 10 Democrats), thiab 37 ntawm 44 tsis muaj cov neeg xaiv tsa tau yog kev ywj pheej (ntxiv rau 2 Cov Neeg Sawv Cev thiab 5 Republicans). Tab sis qhov no tuaj yeem nyuaj cais los ntawm cov nyiaj, raws li cov nyiaj tau hais saum toj no yog dwarfed los ntawm cov nyiaj nqa tuaj thiab muab faib rau cov neeg sib tw los ntawm cov tog neeg, nrog rau "kws muaj txuj ci" cov neeg paub zoo muab rau Republican tog $ 1.2 lab, thiab Democratic Party $ 0.82 lab. Ib tus tuaj yeem ntseeg tau siab tias ob tog niam txiv "thawj coj" tau hais ncaj qha rau nws cov tswv cuab kom pov npav kom xaus tsov rog Yemen. Tshaj tawm rau pej xeem, pawg tswj hwm ntawm Republican xav kom muaj kev xaiv tsa rau kev ua tub rog tas mus li. Yog tias peb saib cov tog neeg thiab cov nyiaj tau los ua ke, peb pom tias txhua tus ntawm cov Republican uas tau pov npav tsis tseem ceeb nyob hauv cov npe, thaum qhov kev sib cav sib cav tsis tshua meej nrog cov Democrats uas tau pom zoo. Tab sis kev pov ntawv tawm suab tsis yog ib feem ntawm feem ntau - muaj qhov xwm txheej no tshwm sim - yuav tsis zoo li yuav muaj kev txaus siab rau ob tog.
Tom qab ntawd muaj qhov teeb meem tshaj tawm. Cov tog ywj pheej-txhawb MSNBC yog ntsiag to, thaum NPR hais rau nws cov neeg mloog tias cov neeg tsis muaj tebchaws nyob hauv Saudi Arabia tau ncig thiab raug tawm tsam los ntawm dab ntxwg nyoog Iran. Tus New York Times ntawv tswj hwm txoj haujlwm tau ua zoo dua li nws cov neeg tshaj xo. Tab sis yog tias qhov kev pov hwm twg ntawm Asmeskas lub luag haujlwm hauv Yemen tau ua rau hauv TV, tom qab ntawd kuv tuaj yeem nrhiav neeg thaum kuv mus ncig ntawm Tebchaws Meskas uas tau paub tias muaj kev ua rog hauv Yemen. Raws li nws yog, Kuv tuaj yeem pom ob peb leej twg tuaj yeem teev npe txhua qhov kev tsov rog Asmeskas tam sim no. Yog tias Senator Sanders tau tawm tsam qhov kev ua tsov rog no thaum nws ua haujlwm rau tus thawj tswj hwm, es tsis txhob hais kom Saudi Arabia siv nyiaj ntau dua thiab tau txais nws cov ntshav-ntxuav tes qias neeg, cov kev vam meej yuav tau hnov txog - thiab kuv yuav tau txais Sanders rau tus thawj tswj hwm.
Lossis yog tias muaj Kev Ncaj Ncees International, Human Rights Watch, ACLU thiab lwm pab pawg uas tau thov los txhawb tib neeg txoj cai tau pab tawm tsam kev sib ntaus sib tua ntawm Yemen? Los yog dab tsi yog hais tias pundits nres tsis xa mus rau cov pab pawg li cov tib neeg txoj cai pawg thiab hu lawv, hloov chaw, Pro-US-War / Human Rights pawg? Tias yuav ua qhov txawv?
Ua li peb yuav ua li cas? Kuv ua haujlwm rau ob pawg uas tau sim: RootsAction.org thiab World Beyond WarCov. Yog li ntawd tau ua ntau yam rau lwm tus. Coob tus tsim kev sib koom tes los ua kom muaj kev cuam tshuam loj dua. Peb puas tuaj yeem ua tiav ntau dua? Tau kawg. Yuav ua li cas hais txog cov neeg uas tsis kos npe rau ib yam dab tsi, mus rau ib yam dab tsi, hu xov tooj lossis xa email txhua tus Senators? Nws yog ib qho nyuaj rau hais tias ib qho ntawm peb muaj ntxuav tes.
Kuv tau nyeem ib kem Hnub Wednesday tau thov kom txhua tus tsum tsis txhob fwm ib tug Thawj Coj Meskas tamsis no uas yog tus tswv cuab ua qhev. Kuv yog txhua yam rau nws. Tab sis tib kem tau npaj siab ua qhov zoo thiab muaj txiaj ntsig yog ib tus dai kom zoo nkauj thiab "ua tiav" (tus tub rog German). Qhov no ua rau kuv ncua sijhawm hauv kev tsis lees txog tus qhev cov tswv ua "monsters." Tau kawg qhev yog monstrous thiab cov neeg uas ua nws yog lub luag haujlwm rau nws. Lawv lub cev yuav tsum tau nqis los thiab hloov los ntawm cov neeg uas tsim nyog, suav nrog cov neeg ua qhev-cov neeg ua phem thiab cov tub ceev xwm txoj cai, cov ntsiab lus tseem ceeb rau kev txav chaw tsis yog cov tib neeg.
Tab sis yuav ua li cas yog tias peb muaj ib hnub peb to taub tias kev ua tsov rog tsis zoo? Tom qab ntawd dab tsi peb yuav tsum ua kom muaj kev txhawb pab tub rog, suav nrog tus sau ntawv? Thiab yog dab tsi kuv yuav ua los ntawm tej yam uas kuv tus kheej xav tias kaum xyoo lossis peb dhau los thiab tam sim no tsis xav lawm? Puas yog tsis muaj ib yam dab tsi los ntxoov ntxoo hais txog kev ua tsov ua rog rau hnub tseem ceeb ntawm 2003 kev tawm tsam rau Iraq thiab tib lub sijhawm uas Tsoomfwv Meskas tau xaiv tsa los tua cov neeg (tsis-"dawb") ntawm Yemen? Thiab tseem, tsis yog tus cwj pwm pom nyob hauv ib kem tawm tsam kev ntxub ntxaug, sau los ntawm ib tus neeg tawm tsam kev ntxub ntxaug kev ua haujlwm ntawm qee yam tsis yog dab? Kab tias senators tsis monsters dab tsi. Kab tias peb tuaj yeem coj lawv ib puag ncig tseem. Peb yuav tsum sim.

Yuav ua li cas 4 lub sijhawm dhau los tsis zoo?
Thiab leej twg yog cov muaj npe tas nrho “tsis yog nyob hauv Senate?” Daim ntawv teev npe no ntau dua 100 ntev. Ua li daim ntawv no los qhov twg los?
Tsab ntawv no rov ua rau kuv zoo siab los ua ib tus tswv cuab ntawm World Beyond War! Nws ua rau kev ua tsov ua rog nyob rau hauv cov pej xeem nco qab thaum ob peb lwm tus ua. Ua tsaug rau David rau txuas ntxiv hais "kev ua tsov ua rog no tsis muaj hnub zoo." PERIOD. TSIS MUAJ LEEJ TWG. Thaum ib tug neeg hais tias, "Teeb meem X txaus ntshai tab sis kev ua tsov ua rog tsis ua li cas" peb yuav tsum koom nrog koj David hais tias "kev ua rog yog tua neeg thiab yeej yuav tua neeg."
Kuv tseem xav ua koj tsaug David rau qhov lees paub txog tib neeg ntawm TXHUA tus ntawm peb ntawm no thiab txhua lub ces kaum ntawm peb lub ntiaj teb tsis khov. Nrog txoj kev lees paub ntawd ua rau muaj kev cia siab nyob mus ib txhis uas kev ua tsov rog yuav raug muab tshem tawm uas yog siv tib neeg txoj haujlwm!
Mus tsoo “ntsia rau saum taub hau”.
