Kuchokera ku 9-11, United States, pogwiritsa ntchito njira iliyonse yowunika boma la nkhondo, ikuyambanso nkhondo yapachiweniweni yapadziko lonse pakati pa anthu oopsa omwe nthawi zambiri amamenyana ndi iwo, kuphatikizapo ife, amawaona kuti ndi adani awo . Timakwiyitsidwa bwino ndi maulamuliro okhwimitsa mavidiyo ojambulidwa pa Intaneti. Otsitsa mutu ndi mabomba okonda kudzipha amachititsanso manyazi chifukwa chokhala ndi asilikali ambiri ku nyumba za makolo awo komanso kusewera kwa madyerero pa maukwati.
Pakalipano, ngakhale boma la ufumu wathu wamphamvu likhoza kuwerenga maimelo athu ndikugwiritsira ntchito matelefoni athu, bungwe la padziko lonse lachiwawa lopanda chisokonezo kuti libweretse kusintha kwabwino mwinamwake limathamanga pansi pazomwe zimaoneka kuti zili ndi radar. Anthu a padziko lapansi akulimbana kwambiri ndi nkhondo, ndipo akufuna gawo lawo labwino la zinthu zapadziko lapansi ndi mwayi wa ulamuliro wa demokarasi. Maphunziro a maphunziro (cf. Chenoweth ndi Stephan, Chifukwa Chake Kusamvana Kwachigawo Kumagwira Ntchito: Strategic Logic ya Nonviolent Conflict ) awonetsetsa kuti kayendetsedwe kake kosasunthika kali kovuta kwambiri pokwaniritsa zolinga zotere kusiyana ndi achiwawa.
Zolengeza zathu zimapeputsa nkhani ndikusintha mawilo mwa kulola anthu a US kuti aziwona kupyolera mwa lenti yopapatiza, zokopa komanso zachiwawa. Opani ogwira ntchito, gulu la chikhalidwe chathu, tizinena kuti otsatira a ISIS si anthu. Koma tiyenera kusunga umunthu wawo m'mitima mwathu ngakhale momwe timanyansidwa ndi zochita zawo, monga momwe tiyenera kudana ndi mbadwa zathu kuti tizunzidwe komanso kupha ena. Anthu samachita zomwe a ISIS akumenyana nazo popanda kuchitidwa mwakachetechete komanso mopanda chifundo chifukwa cha zowawa zina zopanda chilungamo. Monga Auden analemba, "Amene achita zoipa / achita zoipa pobwezera." Funso la ife ndi momwe tingayankhire bwino kuipa popanda kulingalira khalidwe lathu loipa.
Ife tinapereka chikondwerero cha dziko kwa Dr. King, yemwe anali wamphamvu kwambiri, osati wachiwawa, yemwe anangofuna kuti mapeto a nkhondo ya Vietnam, asapitirire kulandira mphoto ya Nobel Peace Prize, Dr. Kissinger, yemwe adatenga nthawi yake yokoma pa izo- anathetsa nkhondoyo. Koma pamene ife timalankhula kuti tizichita mwambo wokumbukira chaka cha Mfumu, ndiye kuti Kissinger alibe mphamvu zopambanitsa-mphamvu-mphamvu zomwe zimayambitsa zokambirana-ngakhale pa ufulu wotsalira.
Kupatula kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pachisoni cha kudulidwa ndi malingaliro abwino a awo omwe amalamulira drones, mbali yathu ndi iwo akugawana zokhutira kuti njira yokhayo yothetsera nkhondoyi ikupha. Ngati ISIS ikhoza kupha adani ake okwanira, Caliphate ikhoza kukhazikitsidwa kuchokera ku Lebanoni kudutsa ku Afghanistan, kuthetsa malire osayanjanitsika omwe amachitidwa ndi mphamvu zamakoloni pambuyo pa nkhondo yoyamba ya padziko lonse. Komanso, ngati Kumadzulo kokha kungawononge atsogoleri achigawenga okwanira ku Afghanistan ndi Yemen ndi Syria, zigawo zochepa zidzatuluka kuphedwa kuti zidzakane malingaliro opanda pake ndi odzikuza omwe Islam akuyenera kugonjetsa dziko lambiri.
Koma kudzikuza kwa ufumu wa America wamakono komanso ufumu wokha wachisilamu ndizochabechabe komanso zotsekedwa m'njira zawo zosiyana. Kupitiriza kupha misa kumbali zonse sikungathetsere kusiyana kwa chikhalidwe, ndipo ngati tisaganize zatsopano, nkhondo yapachiweniweni iyi idzapitirira, kuchulukitsa anthu omwe amawagwiritsa ntchito mofulumizitsa mantha kuposa momwe angathe kuwonongedwera-chigawenga cha nkhanza.
Sitingathe kuchoka m'magulu osiyanasiyana kuti tithe kulimbana nawo. Tiyenera kutsogolera, koma bwanji osayendetsa njira yatsopano? Pakati pa dzanja lonse lopanda zosankha zoipa, pali njira yabwino: kusintha masewerawo. Vomerezani kuti ntchito ya US ku Iraq inachititsa zinthu zina zosayembekezereka. Pemphani msonkhano wapadziko lonse umene umaphatikizapo nthumwi kuchokera kumapampu ambiri omwe ali okonzeka kulingalira momwe angapezere ndi kuthetsa chiwawa. Gwirizanitsani kuti manja akudutsa m'deralo.
Tikhoza kuthetsa kuti tikulimbana kale ndi nkhondo yachitatu yapadziko lonse, titayiwala phunziro la momwe munthu wina aliyense ankafunira kapena kuyembekezera kuti alowemo, akusonyeza kufunika kokhala ndi mafanizo ngati King ndi Dag Hammarskjold, omwe ndi nthumwi yapadziko lonse yosakhudzidwa. kwa mtendere. Pamene tikuyang'ana pansi nthawi, zimakhala zovuta kwambiri kuti tiwone kuti ndi ndani yemwe sangathe kukhala ndi zida za nyukiliya. Ngakhale pakadali pano akuluakulu a chipani cha Pakistani omwe sali otheka angakhale akusunthira nkhondo kumalo ena omwe si a boma ndi zolinga zowononga. N'kuthekanso kuti wina wa asilikali a ku US angayambe kukangana ndi nkhanza, kuyambitsa chiwonongeko.
Kodi nkhondo yachitatu yapadziko lonse yomwe imatsogolera kuwononga kwathunthu cholinga cha Mulungu wachikhristu kapena Muslim Allah? Ife tikupita kumbali yoperewera kupha, malire omwe amayendayenda kumbali zonse: nyukiliya yozizira, mwinamwake kuti ngati kokha kachigawo kakang'ono ka nkhondo za dziko lapansi, ziribe kanthu kuti, ndi ndani amene adasokonezedwa, nyengo yotsatira ikanadzaphimba dziko lapansi, kutseka ulimi wa dziko kwazaka khumi. Mwaiwo kuti maphwando onse avomereze mwayi umenewu ndikupanga mgwirizano wogwirizana ndi chilakolako chodziwika kuti anthu apulumuke-kumvetsera kumapeto kwa zosangalatsa za mamiliyoni ambiri padziko lapansili omwe akufuna kuti misala ya nkhondo yosatha ikhalepo.
