Pali kupotoza kowonjezera kwa wolemba mbiri Kathleen Belew ikusonyeza kuti ngakhale kuti ntchito ya asilikali ankhondo m’zigawenga za m’nyumba sayamikiridwa, si anthu okhawo amene sagonjetsedwa ndi nkhondo.
"Chinthu chachikulu [chigawenga cha m'banja] sichikuwoneka kuti sizomwe timaganiza nthawi zambiri, kaya ndi anthu, anthu othawa kwawo, umphawi, malamulo akuluakulu a ufulu wachibadwidwe," adatero Belew podcast yaposachedwa. “Zikuoneka kuti ndi zotsatira za nkhondo. Izi ndizofunikira osati chifukwa cha kupezeka kwa asilikali akale komanso asilikali omwe ali m'maguluwa. Koma ndikuganiza kuti zikuwonetsa china chake chachikulu, chomwe ndi chakuti kuchuluka kwa ziwawa zamitundu yonse mdera lathu kumakulirakulira pambuyo pa nkhondo. Muyezo umenewo umadutsa amuna ndi akazi, umadutsa anthu omwe adakhalapo koma sanatumikirepo, amadutsa zaka zingapo. Pali china chake chokhudza tonsefe chomwe chimakhalapo chifukwa cha ziwawa pambuyo pa mikangano. "
Mu 2005 nkhondo yolimbana ndi zigawenga inali ziyenera ndi Purezidenti George W. Bush monga "kumenyana ndi zigawenga kunja kuti tisakumane nazo kuno kwathu." Chodabwitsa ndichakuti nkhondozo - zomwe mtengo mabiliyoni ambiri a madola ndikupha mazana masauzande a anthu wamba - m'malo mwake adasokoneza m'badwo wa zigawenga zaku America zomwe kwa zaka zikubwerazi zidzachititsa ziwawa dziko lomwe amayenera kuliteteza. Uwu ndi mlandu winanso wodabwitsa womwe atsogoleri athu andale ndi asitikali akuyenera kukumana ndi kubwezera kwa mbiri.
