Zolemba za Mkonzi: Ndemanga iyi ndi a John Reuwer, MD, aku South Burlington, omwe ndi membala wa Physicians for Social Responsibility Committee to Abolish Nuclear Weapons komanso a board of director of World Beyond War.
Khalidwe losasunthika la Purezidenti ndikulimbikitsa kwawo kuwukira kwa nyumba ya Capitol ndi demokalase sabata yatha zidawopseza Mneneri wa Nyumbayo Nancy Pelosi mokwanira kumupangitsa kukhala ndi nkhawa pagulu poti ali ndi mphamvu zokhazokha zokhazikitsira kuyambitsa zida za nyukiliya. Kukwanitsa kwake kutero kuyenera kutiwopseza tonse kuchitapo kanthu osakambirana mwachinsinsi ndi akuluakulu ankhondo.
Pali zoposa 1Zida za nyukiliya za 3,300 mwa mayiko asanu ndi anayi padziko lapansi. Pafupifupi 1,500 a iwo ali tcheru kuti adziwitse tsitsi. Kuopa komwe kumachitika chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito zigawenga zitha kuthera ufulu wathu wandale. Kugwiritsa ntchito ambiri mwangozi kapena misala (makamaka pakadali pano) kuyambitsa tsoka lomwe silinachitikepo. Kugwiritsa ntchito ambiri aiwo kumatha chitukuko. Komabe malingaliro amakono aku US amalola munthu m'modzi mphamvuzi, ndipo akukonzekera kuwononga trilioni imodzi ndi theka kuti "atukule" zida zathu za nyukiliya ndikupangitsa kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito. Zomwe zimatsimikizira kuti mpikisano watsopano wamphamvu pakati pa ma nyukiliya onse, wowopsa makamaka pakakhala kusamvana pakati pawo, chizolowezi cha atsogoleri odziyimira pawokha m'ma demokalase ambiri osalimba, komanso umboni wowonekeratu kuti zigawenga zapamwamba kwambiri zimapangitsa zida zankhondo zovuta kwambiri kukhala pachiwopsezo chachikulu.
Monga chikumbutso kuti titha kuchita bwino, sabata ino timakondwerera zochitika ziwiri zomwe zikuwonetsa njira zina zowopsa zomwe timatenga ndi zida za nyukiliya.
Pa Jan. 18 tikukumbukira moyo wa Martin Luther King Jr., yemwe adatsogolera dziko lathu kuzindikira ufulu wachibadwidwe wa anthu akuda aku America, kuponderezedwa kuyambira kukhazikitsidwa kwa dziko lathu. Masomphenya ake am'mudzi wokondedwayo sanakwaniritsidwebe, monga zikuwonekera chaka chino, pomwe tidayamba kudzutsa tsankho lomwe ambiri ankayesa kuti linali kumbuyo kwathu. Komabe titha kupitiliza kupita patsogolo ndi ntchito yake kuti athetse zopanda chilungamo komanso ziwawa pogwiritsa ntchito zachiwawa. Ankadziwa bwino za vuto la nyukiliya. Mwa iye Kulankhula kwa mphotho ya Nobel Peace Prize mu 1964, adati, "Ndikukana kuvomereza malingaliro okayikira akuti dziko lililonse liyenera kukwera magulu ankhondo kupita ku gehena kowononga nyukiliya." Tiyeni tigwirizane naye kukana kuvomereza kutsika kwathu.
Pofuna kutithandiza kuchita izi, pa Januwale 22 United Nations ipanga gawo lofunika kwambiri m'mbiri yazida. Pulogalamu ya Pangano loletsa zida za nyukiliya wavomerezedwa, ndipo "ayamba kugwira ntchito" lero. Izi zikutanthauza kuti pakati pa mayiko osainiranawo, sikudzaloledwa kupanga, kupanga, kukhala, kusamutsa, kuwopseza kugwiritsa ntchito, kapena kuthandizira kugwiritsa ntchito zida za nyukiliya. Ngakhale palibe mayiko okhala ndi zida za nyukiliya omwe alowa mgwirizanowu, akumananso ndi vuto lina - zida zanyukiliya kwanthawi yoyamba zakhala zosaloledwa ndi malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi. Ayamba kukhala ndi manyazi omwewo omwe amabwera chifukwa cha zida zamankhwala, zida zachilengedwe, ndi mabomba okwirira pansi, omwe ataya mphamvu zawo pagulu la anthu, chifukwa chake sanatchulidwenso poyera kapena kupangidwa, ngakhale ndi mayiko omwe sanavomereze mgwirizano wowaletsa . M'malo mokhala chizindikiro cha kunyada kwadziko, zida za nyukiliya zizizindikira omwe ali nazo monga mayiko ankhanza. Makampani opanga zida zanyukiliya azikakamizidwa ndi anthu kuti azitsatira miyambo yapadziko lonse lapansi.
Potengera masomphenya ndi mphamvu za Dr. King, komanso kugwira ntchito molimbika kwa International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons ndi ena omwe adalemba mgwirizanowu, titha kugwira ntchito kumasula tsogolo lathu ku ziwopsezo za nyukiliya m'njira zambiri. Gawo loyamba ndi loti Congress ikhazikitsenso udindo wawo povomereza nkhondo, pobweza Chilolezo cha 2002 chogwiritsa ntchito Gulu Lankhondo chomwe chimapatsa Purezidenti kuthekera koyambitsa nkhondo iliyonse, ndikuchotsa mphamvu kwa Purezidenti yekhayo osayimitsa zida zanyukiliya. .
Ngati tikufuna kuchita zochulukirapo, titha kudziphunzitsa tokha komanso anzathu za Pangano la Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, ndikukakamiza atsogoleri athu kuti achitepo kanthu kuti atibwezeretse kumapeto kwa zida za nyukiliya mpaka titawatsimikizira kuti alowe nawo mgwirizanowu. Izi zikuphatikiza kuyambiranso mapangano olamulira zida zankhondo monga New START ndi Pangano la Intermediate Nuclear Forces Pangano lomwe limatipangitsa kukhala otetezeka ndikutipulumutsa ndalama zambiri m'mbuyomu. Titha kuthandizira ngongole iliyonse yomwe ingabweretsedwe ku Congress chaka chino yomwe ingathandizire mfundo zina zilizonse zomwe zimatipangitsa kukhala otetezeka nthawi yomweyo. Zina mwazo ndi 1) Kutsimikizira dziko lapansi kuti sitigwiritsanso ntchito zida za nyukiliya poyamba; 2) Kutenga zida zonse za nyukiliya pazomwe zimayambitsa tsitsi; 3) Lekani kuwononga zida zatsopano za nyukiliya kuti muthandize kugwiritsa ntchito zida zachitetezo cha anthu ndikuthana ndi mpikisano wamanja; ndi 4) Lowani nawo Pangano Loletsa Zida za Nyukiliya, kapena kambiranani za zida zina zanyukiliya.
Nthawi yafika, osati yongofuna kuthetsa nkhawa za Pelosi zakuti Purezidenti uyu angayambitse nkhondo yankhondo, koma kutsimikizira kuti palibe amene angawononge tsogolo lathu patangopita maola ochepa.
