Ndi Robert C. Koehler
"Pa nthawi imodzimodziyo, malingaliro ndi malingaliro omwe amalingaliridwa ndi chilengedwe chonse, monga mgwirizano, mgwirizano, mgwirizano wamtundu wadziko lonse ndi mtendere monga maulamuliro akuphatikizanso akusowa ntchito."
Mwinamwake kufufuza uku kuponyedwa ndi Roberto Savio, yemwe anayambitsa bungwe la nyuzipepala yotchedwa Inter Press Service, ndi wodula kwambiri. Kuyankhula mwachidwi, chiyembekezo - mtundu wovomerezeka, woimira, kunena, ndi United Nations mu 1945 - umamva bwino kuposa momwe ndingakumbukire. "Ife ndife anthu a mgwirizano wamayiko, atatsimikiza kupulumutsa mibadwo yotsatira kuchokera ku mliri wa nkhondo. . . "
Ndikutanthauza, sizinali zenizeni. Zaka mazana asanu za ku Ulaya kwa chikoloni ndi chikhalidwe cha dziko lonse lapansi, ndikubwezeretsa dziko lapansi muzofuna chuma cha mpikisano wotsutsana, sizingathetsedwe ndi bungwe limodzi ndi magulu akuluakulu.
Monga momwe Savio adafotokozera m'nkhani yonena kuti "Wosadandaula Chifukwa Chiyani Dzikoli Ndilo Mauthenga ?,": "Dziko lapansi, monga lirili tsopano, linali lopangidwa ndi mphamvu zamakoloni, zomwe zinagawaniza dziko lonse lapansi, kuzijambula popanda kulingalira chifukwa chenicheni chamtundu, chipembedzo kapena chikhalidwe. "
Ndipo pambuyo pa nthawi ya chikoloni inagwa, zidazi zandale zojambulazo, zikutanthauzira malo osambira omwe alibe mbiri ya mtundu wawo, mwadzidzidzi anakhala Dziko Lachitatu ndipo linasokonezeka. ". . . Zinali zosapeŵeka kuti kusunga maiko ojambulawo akhale amoyo, ndikupewa kupezeka kwawo, anthu amphamvu angafunikire kubisa chotsalira chotsalira ndi mphamvu zamakoloni. Malamulo a demokarasi ankagwiritsidwa ntchito pokhapokha kuti afikire mphamvu, ndi zochepa zochepa. "
Zomwe zili zoyesayesa kuthetsa nkhondo zomwe zimayambitsa nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse - Ulaya pafupi ndi kudziwonongera - sanadulidwe pafupifupi mokwanira. Mayeserowa sanapangitse zaka zisanu zapitazo kuti agonjetsedwe ndi chiwawa. Iwo sanachepetse kwambiri kuposa chidwi cha dziko.
Ndipo mtendere wapadziko lonse womangidwa pa maziko a mayiko ena ndi oxymoron. Monga momwe wolemba mbiri dzina lake Michael Howard ananenera m'buku lake Zimene Tikuphunzirapo Mbiri (yotchulidwa ndi Barbara Ehrenreich mu Mipira ya Magazi): "Kuchokera pachiyambi pomwe, mfundo yokhudzana ndi dzikoli inali yogwirizana kwambiri, mwachindunji ndi chizoloŵezi, ndi lingaliro la nkhondo."
Zonsezi zimanditsogolera ku $ 400 biliyoni F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, ndege yamtengo wapatali kwambiri yomwe inamangidwapo, kapena ayi. Ndege, yomwe inapangidwa ndi Lockheed, tsopano ili ndi zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri, koma Pentagon idakonza zoti iwonetsere mwana wake watsopano sabata ino ku Royal International Air Tattoo ndi Farnborough International Airshow ku UK Izi zoyambira tsopano zazitanidwa chifukwa injini imodzi mwa ndegeyi inagwira moto pamsewu ku Florida mu June, ndipo akuluakulu a boma ankaopa kuti vutoli linali lokonzekera.
Mwa kuyankhula kwina, izo zikhoza kuchitika kachiwiri. Zitha kuchitika pa ndege, ndi ndege zomwe zimawoneka ngati makasitomala - Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan ndi alangizi ena asanu ndi atatu a ku United States. Kukhazikitsa izo kunali chisankho cha bizinesi. Inde, chinali chisankho chomwe chinapangidwira pamsewu wovuta kwambiri wa bizinesi ndi nkhondo.
"Zotsalirazi zikutsatira mavuto ambiri omwe amachititsa kuti F-35, imodzi mwa mapulogalamu apamwamba kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, komanso ndalama zomwe zimapangidwira ndalama zapakati pa $ 400 biliyoni," Nicola Clark ndi Christopher Drew analemba sabata ino MaTimayi a New York. "Ofufuza amati nthawi yothetsa mavutowa, monga Lockheed Martin anali kuyembekezera kuwonetsa ndege kwa ogulitsa malonda kunja kuno, sakanakhala koipitsitsa."
Zomwe ndapeza zosangalatsa - chabwino, zowopsya kwambiri, zenizeni-zinali zoona kuti nkhaniyi inayamba mu gawo la Times 'International Business'. Pamene Savio akulemba, "Kuyesera kukhazikitsa mgwirizano wa chigawo kapena mayiko kuti ukhale wosasuntha nthawizonse wakhala wolembedwa ndi zofuna zadziko," izi zikhoza kukhala zomwe akunena. Zofuna zadziko ndizochita malonda. Muzofalitsa zosiyana, izi zimangoperekedwa.
Ndipo zoperewera zomwe zimakhalapo ndikupitirirabe ndalama sizilibe kanthu. Ntchito ya F-35 ikupitilirabe, ngakhale, monga Kate Brannen analemba posachedwapa Malonda Achilendo, "Pafupipafupi," ndalama zogwira ntchito zikuyembekezeka kupitirira $ 1 triliyoni. "
Ndalama zopangira ndalama zopanda malire sizingatheke, mwachionekere. Congress ili kumbuyo kwa njira yonse. Ndipo si nkhani yovuta. "Lockheed wakhala akulemba mosamala ogulitsa ndi subcontractors pafupifupi boma lililonse kuti atsimikizire kuti pafupifupi a Senators onse ndi a Congress akugwira nawo ntchito pulogalamuyi - ndi ntchito yomwe yakhazikitsa - m'malo mwake," Brannen analemba.
Chiyeso ndi cha otayika. Nthawi zonse pamakhala ndalama zopambana nkhondo ndi kumanga zida, ndithudi, kupitiliza kupanga zida, mibadwomibadwo. Makontrakitala amatha kusewera masewerawo. Ntchito kugwirizanitsa mikono ndi mantha ndi kukonda dziko ndipo nkhondo yotsatira imakhala yosapeweka. Ndipo nthawizonse ndizofunika, chifukwa takhala tikupanga dziko lachikhalire - komanso lokhazikika.
Vuto ndi bungwe la United Nations ndilo mgwirizano wa mabungwe omwe amanenedwa ndi kudana kwawo ndi kuchitapo kanthu kuti apitirize "mliri wa nkhondo." Sitiyamba kukhazikitsa mtendere padziko lonse kufikira titaphunzira kupondereza dziko komanso osakwatirana, mgwirizano wosavomerezeka womwe umagwirizanitsa mayiko kwa wina ndi mzake: kusadziŵika kwa nkhondo.
