Wolemba Tom H. Hastings, Hastings pa Nonviolence
Akatsutsidwa za kuwukira kwandege komwe kumapha anthu wamba—kaya ndege za ndege zopanda ndege kapena ndege zankhondo “zanzeru” zodzikhululukira zoperekedwa ndi akuluakulu aboma ndi ankhondo zimakhala pawiri. Mwina chinali cholakwika chomvetsa chisoni kapena zinali zomvetsa chisoni poyang'ana "munthu woyipa" wodziwika bwino - mtsogoleri wa ISIS, zigawenga za al Shabaab, bwana wa Taliban kapena wamkulu wa al Qaeda. Kuwonongeka kwachikole. Yankho la LOADR. Lipstick pa khoswe wakufa.
Ndiye kuchita upandu pankhondo kuli bwino ngati mukunena kuti ndizokhumudwitsa?
"Inde, koma anyamata amenewo amadula mitu atolankhani ndikusandutsa atsikana akapolo."
Zoonadi, ndipo ISIS yapeza chidani ndi kunyansidwa ndi anthu abwino kwambiri padziko lapansi chifukwa cha iwo. Komanso, pamene asitikali aku US akusokoneza zipatala ndikuphulitsa mabomba, kodi tingadabwe konse chifukwa chiyani US imadedwa ndi utsi wokwanira kugonjetsa makhalidwe? Inde, ndizowona, pamene US akupha anthu wamba amachitcha kulakwitsa ndipo pamene ISIS itero amalira ngati ana onyada azaka ziwiri osazindikira chabwino ndi cholakwika. Koma funso langa ndilakuti, anthu aku America adzasiya liti kulola asitikali athu - omwe amatiyimira tonse mu demokalase - kuchita zolakwa motsutsana ndi anthu?
Boma la Obama likunena kuti anthu wamba okhawo omwe akuyenera kuda nkhawa nawo ali m'maiko omwe sanasankhidwe ngati madera ankhondo ndikuti, m’maiko amenewo US yangopha pakati pa "64 ndi 116 anthu wamba mu ndege za drone ndi zina zakupha zapamlengalenga motsutsana ndi omwe akuwakayikira achigawenga." Mayiko amenewo mwina akuphatikizapo Libya, Yemen, Somalia, ndi Pakistan. Palibe manambala ofunikira ku Iraq, Afghanistan, kapena Syria. Anthu wamba kumeneko mwina amachita chilungamo.
Mabungwe osachepera anayi akusunga ndalama zodziyimira pawokha ndipo onse ndi okwera kwambiri ponena kuti anthu wamba amafa ochepa m'malo omwe siankhondo.
Nanga bwanji za chithunzi chokulirapo?
Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs ku Brown University imakonza kafukufuku wamkulu kwambiri ndikutsata imfa za anthu wamba chifukwa chankhondo; maphunziro awo kuyerekezera kuchokera ku akaunti zolembedwa kuti kuyambira mwezi wa Marichi chaka chatha pafupifupi anthu 210,000 omwe sanali omenya nkhondo aphedwa pa Nkhondo Yadziko Lonse Yowopsya yomwe inayambika mu October 2001.
Kotero, panthawi ina, tiyenera kudabwa; Ngati mabungwe azamalamulo aku US atsimikiza kuti mtsogoleri wakunyumba ya ISIS akukhala mnyumba ku Queens kapena North Minneapolis kapena Beaverton, Oregon kodi zikhala bwino ndiye kuti mungoyang'ana nyumbayo ndi mzinga wa Hellfire womwe umachokera ku Predator drone?
Zopusa bwanji, chabwino? Sitingachite zimenezo.
Kupatula kuti timachita, pafupipafupi, ku Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, ndi Pakistan. Kodi izi zisiya liti?
Idzaleka pamene sitikutsutsa kokha mwamakhalidwe koma pamene tasankha kukhala ogwira mtima. Kuyankha kwathu kwachiwawa ku uchigawenga kukukulirakulira nthawi zonse, kutsimikizira kuti, uchigawenga wotsutsana ndi US nawonso udzakula. Yakwana nthawi yokana lingaliro loti njira yachipongwe, yopanda chiwawa ndiyosathandiza. Zowonadi, ndizokumbutsa pang'ono zomwe Winston Churchill adanena za demokalase, kuti ndi boma loyipa kwambiri - kupatula ena onse. Kupanda chiwawa ndi njira yoyipa kwambiri yothetsera mikangano-kupatula ena onse.
Sitimangopanga zigawenga zambiri tikatulutsa chipatala mwangozi kapena molakwika, chofunikira kwambiri, timapanga dziwe lokulirapo lachifundo pamtundu uliwonse wa zigawenga zotsutsana ndi US. Ngakhale zili zowona kuti chifundo ndi kuthandizira kwa zigawenga sikuli pafupi ndi chithandizo cha zigawenga za zida-ndipo pali kusiyana kwakukulu-chifukwa chiyani pa Dziko Lapansi tingapitirizebe kutsimikizira kuti nkhondo yapadziko lonse yachigawenga ndi yokhazikika?
Nanga n’cifukwa ciani? Pali ena amene amapindula mu udindo, mphamvu, ndi ndalama mwa kupitiriza nkhondo yoopsa imeneyi. Awa ndi anthu omwe amalimbikitsa kwambiri nkhondo zambiri.
Anthu amenewo sayenera kunyalanyazidwa. Tiyenera kukonza izi ndi njira zina. Tikhoza, ndipo tiyenera.
Ngati US ingaganizirenso njira zake zothanirana ndi mikangano zitha kuthetseratu popanda kukhetsa magazi. Ena mwavuto ndi amene amafunsidwa kuti alangize osankha. M’maiko ena akuluakulu amakambitsirana ndi akatswiri odziwa bwino ntchito za mkhalapakati, kukambirana, kuthandiza anthu ndi chitukuko chokhazikika. Mayiko amenewo amasunga mtendere bwino kwambiri. Ambiri—monga Norway, Denmark, Sweden—ali ndi njira zabwinoko za umoyo wa nzika kuposa mmene timachitira ku US.
Titha kuthandiza. Monga chitsanzo m’dziko lathu lapansili, zigawenga ndi boma la Colombia linachita nkhondo ya zaka 52, mbali iliyonse ikuchita nkhanza zambiri ndi ubwino wa anthu wamba wa ku Colombia amene anavutika kwa zaka zopitirira theka la zaka. Pomaliza, akatswiri amtendere ndi mikangano ochokera ku Kroc Institute anaitanidwa kuti athandize—nthawi yoyamba imene pulogalamu yamaphunziro iliyonse m’gawo lathu inaitanidwa kutero Kumadzulo. Iwo anayambitsa malingaliro atsopano ndipo chotulukapo chosangalatsa nchakuti potsirizira pake—potsirizira pake—anthu aku Colombia ali ndi pangano lamtendere losaina. Inde, ovotawo anakana mwapang'onopang'ono, koma akuluakulu abwereranso patebulo, osati pabwalo lankhondo, kuti agwiritse ntchito mgwirizano wovomerezeka.
Chonde. Tili ndi chidziwitso chothetsa kuvina koyipa kwa imfa kumeneku kotchedwa nkhondo. Anthu tsopano akudziwa mmene angachitire. Koma tili ndi chifuniro? Kodi tingathe kukwera ngati ovota ndikupempha omwe apambana kuti asiye kudzitama kuti atha kukhala olimba komanso owopsa ndipo m'malo mwake amalimbikira kuti wopambanayo afotokoze ndikudzipereka kunjira yamtendere yomwe yatsimikiziridwa kuti imabweretsa phindu lochulukirapo ndi zowawa zochepa kwambiri. ?
