The Richmond (Va.) Nthawi Imatuluka posindikizidwa posachedwa nkhani, yofalitsidwa ndi mapepala ena ndi mutu wakuti: "Kukumbukira chifukwa chake timamenyanabe ku Afghanistan"Ndilo chidutswa chophweka cholemba, chifukwa sichimayesa kupereka chifukwa chimodzi chomwe wina angamenyane" ku Afghanistan. Mutu wa nkhani, komabe, ukusonyeza kuti wina akumenyabe nkhondo kumeneko chifukwa cha chinachake chimene iwo aiwala ndipo angakumbukiridwe. Popeza kuti wopha anthu a ku America omwe adalowa nawo pankhondoyo adzipha, wina amayesedwa kuti afuule "Pitirizani ndi kukukumbutsani kale!" Koma wina ayenera kudabwa: kukumbukira chiyani?
Ndime zingapo zoyambirira za mkonzi zimatiuza kuti zaka 17 zapita. Ndiye ife timabwera ku izi:
"Palinso asilikali a 10,000 ku Afghanistan."
Ndipotu, asilikali a ku United States tsopano ali pafupifupi 11,000 Asilikali a US ku Afghanistan, kuphatikizapo 4,000 zambiri kuti Trump kutumizidwa kuphatikizapo asilikali ena a NATO, asilikali a 7,148, ndi ena a 1,000 makampani (omwe ali ndi 26,000 akuchokera ku United States). Ndizo 48,000 anthu ogwira ntchito kunja kwa dziko zaka 17 pambuyo pa kukwaniritsa ntchito yawo yofuna kugonjetsa boma la Taliban.
Zotsatira za mkonzi zimabwera izi:
"Ambiri Achimereka, komabe, sakudziwa kwenikweni zomwe tikuchita kumeneko. Ambiri ambiri a ku America sakudziwa kuti kulibe Amerika komweko. "
Kotero "ife" tiri tonse pamenepo ndipo sitikudziwa kuti tiripo, kapena apo ndipo sitikudziwa chifukwa chake. Ndizovuta kwambiri kuti "ife." Tangoganizirani kulembetsanso ziganizozo ndi chilankhulo chofanana:
Anthu ambiri ku United States sanamve chifukwa chomveka chimene asilikali a ku United States ali ku Afghanistan, ndipo ambiri sakudziwa kuti kulipo.
Mukanena izi monga choncho, kotero kuti sindimadzimva ndekha, ndimamva kuti ndikutsegulira asilikali a US - gulu lomwe liripo losiyana ndi ine - kuchoka kumeneko.
Nkhaniyo ikupitiriza kuti:
"Virginia War Memorial ikuyembekeza kusintha izo. Kwa zaka 20, chikumbutso chatulutsa mafilimu ochepa owonetsera otchedwa 'Virginians ku War' kusunga mbiri ndi kuphunzitsa mibadwo yotsatira. Pa September 11 chaka chino, chikumbutso chinatulutsa filimu yake yatsopano kwambiri, 'New Century, Nkhondo Yatsopano,' yokhudza zochitika zauchigawenga ndi nkhondo zotsatizana. Pulogalamuyi inalengedwa poyankha mapemphero ochokera ku aphunzitsi a Virginia omwe akufunafuna zida zowunikira nkhani zovuta ndi zofunikira za 9 / 11 ndi nkhondo zathu zakale ku Afghanistan ndi Iraq. "
Mukayang'ana pamwamba pa "Virginia War Memorial," mumapeza bungwe kulimbikitsa njira monga "Msilikali Wachisanu Loweruka" ndi ntchito zowonjezera nkhondo kwa ana a zaka za 3-8. Koma simukupeza chifukwa chake nkhondo kapena nkhondo ku Afghanistan makamaka ziri zoyenera. Kapena sanapange filimu yawo kupezeka; kotero palibe owerenga a mkonzi uyu amatha kuyang'anitsitsa, ndipo mkonzi samapereka kufotokoza kulikonse kwa nkhondo yomwe ingapezeke mu filimuyi. M'malo mwake, a Nthawi Imatuluka akutiuza:
"Anakambirana ndi makumi awiri ndi makumi awiri ndi azimayi a Virginia pamodzi ndi mamembala awo omwe adatayika pa Pentagon. Kuchokera pa zokambiranazi, kanema yosangalatsa komanso yofotokozera inapangidwa kuchokera ku 9 / 11 ndikuwonetsa ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pa nkhondo. 'Century New, Nkhondo Yatsopano,' inalengedwa kuti isonyeze momwe dziko linasinthira tsiku limodzi ndi momwe Virgini akhalamo ndikutumikira kumalo atsopanowu. Clay Mountcastle, yemwe ndi mkulu wa War Memorial, akufotokoza kuti: 'Tinkafuna filimu yomwe ingasonyeze kuti anthu ambiri amamva za 9 / 11, ndipo milungu ndi miyezi ingapo, kwa achinyamata omwe sanadziwe okha. Tinayesanso kulanda chikhalidwe chovuta cha kutumikira mu nkhondo ya nthawi yaitali ndi maphunziro angapo ndi tanthauzo. ' Nyuzipepala ya Nkhondo ikuyembekeza filimuyi idzawakumbutsa Virgini za mutu wovutawu m'mbiri ndi kupereka chida chamtengo wapatali chogwiritsira ntchito makalasi. 'Century New, Nkhondo Yatsopano' posachedwapa idzapezeka kuti iwonetse ku Virginia War Memorial ndikugawira aphunzitsi kudera lonselo. Pitani mukawone. Ndikofunika kwambiri kuyendera ndi kuyang'ana. "
Ndipo ndi zimenezo. Kotero, wina amasiyidwa kuti aganize kuti chifukwa "9 / 11" yachitika, nkhondo ku Afghanistan ndi yolondola mpaka nthawi yotsiriza kapena Yesu atabweranso (kodi alipo wina yemwe adafotokozera kumene anapita kapena kufufuza ngati iye wagwirabe mumsewu?) . Ndikumverera kwakukulu kozungulira 9 / 11 "Ndikufuna ndikugwiritseni bajeti imodzi ya mabiliyoni khumi, osati kuphatikizapo momwe akumvera ndi okondedwa awo omwe akhala akupempha kwa zaka 17 kuti mavuto awo osatembenuzidwa kukhala propaganda ya nkhondo.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch siyekha. Pafupifupi aliyense amapewa kuyesa kupanga mlandu chifukwa cha nkhondo yopanda pake yopanda pake. Ngakhale anthu amaika udindo wonyamula iwo ali ndi chizoloŵezi chofuna kuti mapetowo athe. Kawirikawiri iwo chitani izi sabata pambuyo poti achoke kapena kubwezeredwa.
Pano pali vuto loti tithe kumaliza nawo nkhondo ya US ku nkhondoyi, monga mbali ya kalata yaumwini kwa Purezidenti Trump yomwe anthu zikwizikwi amasaina ndi aliyense akuitanidwa kuti alowe:
M'zaka zapitazo za 17, boma lathu ku Washington likutiuza kuti kupambana kuli pafupi. M'zaka zapitazo za 17, Afghanistan ikupitiriza kukhala umphaŵi, chiwawa, kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe, ndi kusakhazikika. Kuchokera kwa asilikali a US ndi a NATO kutumiza dziko, komanso kwa anthu a ku Afghanistan, kuti nthawi yayesa kuyesa njira yina, osati china ndi zida zambiri.
Pulezidenti wochokera ku boma la Afghan Unity, lomwe linagulitsidwa ndi US ku United States, waligwiritsa ntchito ndinakuuzani kuti kuonetsetsa kuti dziko la Afghanistan likugwira nawo ntchito ku Afghanistan ndi "mofulumizitsa kwambiri pa Sept. 11, 2001." Palibe chifukwa chokhulupirira kuti sangakuuzeni kuti zaka ziwiri zotsatira, ngakhale John Kerry akutiuza "Afghanistan tsopano ili ndi gulu lankhondo lophunzitsidwa bwino ... kuthana ndi vuto la a Taliban ndi magulu ena achigawenga. "Koma kuchita nawo mbali sikuyenera kutenga mawonekedwe ake enieni.
United States ikugwiritsira ntchito $ 4 miliyoni paola, ndege, mabomba, mfuti, ndi makontrakitala ogulitsa kwambiri m'dziko lomwe likusowa chakudya ndi zipangizo zaulimi, zambiri zomwe zingaperekedwe ndi malonda a US. Pakalipano, United States yakhala yonyansa $ Biliyoni 783 popanda chirichonse choti chiwonetsere icho kupatula imfa ya zikwi Asilikali a US , ndi imfa, kuvulazidwa ndi kuthamangitsidwa kwa mamiliyoni a Afghans. Nkhondo ya Afghanistan yakhala ikupitirirabe, malinga ngati ikutha, a khazikika gwero zochititsa manyazi nkhani of chinyengo ndi zonyansa. Ngakhale monga ndalama mu chuma cha US nkhondo iyi yakhala chipatala.
Koma nkhondoyo yakhala yokhudzidwa kwambiri pa chitetezo chathu: yatiika pangozi. Asanafe Fazaal Shahzad anayesera kuwombera galimoto ku Times Square, adayesa kulowetsa nkhondo ku United States ku Afghanistan. Mu zochitika zina zambiri, magulu okhudza dziko la United States adanena zolinga zawo monga kubwezera nkhondo ya ku Afghanistan ku Afghanistan, pamodzi ndi nkhondo zina za ku America m'deralo. Palibe chifukwa choganiza kuti izi zidzasintha.
Kuwonjezera apo, Afghanistan ndi mtundu umodzi kumene United States ikuchita nkhondo yaikulu ndi dziko lomwe liri membala wa International Criminal Court. Thupi limenelo liri ndi tsopano analengeza kuti ndi kufufuza Milandu yowononga milandu ku US Afghanistan. Pazaka zapitazi za 17, takhala tikupitiliza kuchitidwa mobwerezabwereza kwa zoopsa: kusaka ana kuchokera ku helicopter, kutsekera zipatala ndi drones, kukodza mitembo - zonse zomwe zimayambitsa mabodza otsutsa a US, onse akuzunza ndi kuchititsa manyazi United States.
Kulamula amuna ndi akazi achimereka ku America ku ntchito yopha kapena kufa yomwe inakwaniritsidwa zaka 17 zapitazo ndi zambiri zoti zifunse. Kuyembekeza iwo kuti akhulupirire mu ntchitoyi ndi zochuluka. Mfundo imeneyi ingakuthandizeni kufotokoza izi: Wopambana ndi asilikali a US ku Afghanistan akudzipha. Wachiwiri wopambana wa asilikali a America ndi wobiriwira pa buluu, kapena mnyamata wa Afghanistani yemwe US akuphunzitsa akusintha zida zawo kwa ophunzitsa awo! Inu nokha munazindikira izi, Kunena: "Tiyeni tuluke ku Afghanistan. Asilikali athu akuphedwa ndi Afghans omwe timaphunzitsa ndipo timawononga mabiliyoni ambiri kumeneko. Zamkhutu! Kumanganso USA. "
Kuchotsedwa kwa asilikali a US kudzakhalanso bwino kwa anthu a Afghanistan, popeza kukhalapo kwa asilikali akunja kwakhala kotsutsana ndi zokambirana za mtendere. Aghghani enieniwo ayenera kudziwa tsogolo lawo, ndipo adzatha kuchita izi pokhapokha pali kutha kwa zochitika kunja.
Tikukulimbikitsani kuti mutembenuzire tsamba pamasewero oopsa awa. Bweretsani asilikali onse a US akuchoka ku Afghanistan. Siyani airstrikes a US ndipo mmalo mwake, chifukwa cha ndalama zochepa, thandizani Afghani ndi chakudya, pogona, ndi zipangizo zaulimi.
