Syria, monga Libya, inali pa mndandanda wolembedwa ndi Clark, ndipo mndandanda womwewo unayesedwa ndi Dick Cheney ndi omwe anali nduna yayikulu ya ku Britain Tony Blair mu zolemba zake. Akuluakulu a ku United States, kuphatikizapo Senator John McCain, kwa zaka zambiri adanena kuti akufuna kugonjetsa boma la Syria chifukwa chakuti likugwirizana ndi boma la Iran lomwe amakhulupirira kuti liyenera kugonjetsedwa. Zisankho za 2013 za Iran sizikuwoneka ngati zosintha izi.
Pamene ndikulemba izi, boma la US linalimbikitsa kupanga nkhondo ku US ku Syria chifukwa boma la Syria linagwiritsa ntchito zida za mankhwala. Palibe umboni wotsimikizirika wazinthu zomwezinaperekedwa kale. M'munsimu muli zifukwa za 12 chifukwa chake chifukwa chomveka chotsutsa nkhondo sichili chabwino ngakhale chowonadi.
1. Nkhondo siinayesedwe mwalamulo ndi chifukwa chotero. Silingapezeke mu Kellogg-Briand Pact, United Nations Charter, kapena Constitution ya US. Zingatheke, komabe, zimapezeka m'mawu amphamvu a nkhondo a US a mpesa wa 2002. (Ndani akunena kuti boma lathu silikulimbikitsanso kubwezeretsanso?)
2. United States palokha imakhala ndikugwiritsa ntchito zida zamatsenga ndi zina zomwe zimatsutsidwa padziko lonse, kuphatikizapo phosphorous white, napalm, magulu a masango, ndi uranium yatha. Kaya mumatamanda izi, pewani kuganiza za iwo, kapena kundiphatikizira, sichifukwa chovomerezeka ndi malamulo kapena chikhalidwe cha mtundu wina wakunja kuti atiphe, kapena kuti awononge mtundu wina kumene asilikali a US akugwira ntchito. Kupha anthu kuti asaphedwe ndi zida zolakwika ndi lamulo lomwe liyenera kutuluka ndi matenda ena. Itanani izo Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
3. Nkhondo yowonjezera ku Syria itha kukhala yamchigawo kapena yapadziko lonse lapansi ndi zotulukapo zosalamulirika. Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Russia, China, United States, Gulf states, maiko a NATO… kodi izi zikumveka ngati mikangano yomwe tikufuna? Kodi zikumveka ngati mkangano womwe aliyense adzapulumuke? Chifukwa chiyani padziko lapansi pachiswe chotere?
4. Kukhazikitsa "malo amodzi othamanga" kungaphatikizepo kupha mabomba m'matawuni ndikupha anthu ambiri mosakayikira. Izi zinachitika ku Libya ndipo tinayang'ana kutali. Koma zidachitika makamaka ku Syria, kupatsidwa malo omwe malowa adzaponyedwe. Kukhazikitsa "malo othamanga" si nkhani yolengeza, koma za kugwa mabomba pa zida zotsutsana ndi ndege.
5. Mbali zonse ziwiri ku Syria zagwiritsa ntchito zida zoopsa ndikuchita nkhanza zoopsa. Ndithudi ngakhale iwo omwe amaganiza kuti anthu ayenera kuphedwa kuti asaphedwe kuphedwa ndi zida zosiyana akhoza kuona kuopsa kwa zida zankhondo zonse kuti atetezane. Nchifukwa chiani sizingakhale ngati wopusa ndi mkono kumbali imodzi kumenyana komwe kumaphatikizapo nkhanza zofanana ndi zonsezi?
6. Ku United States kuli otsutsa ku Syria, United States idzaimbidwa mlandu wa milandu ya otsutsawo. Anthu ambiri ku Western Asia amadana ndi al Qaeda ndi zigawenga zina. Akudana ndi United States ndi drones, mabomba, maziko, usiku, mabodza, ndi chinyengo. Tangoganizirani za udani umene udzakwaniritsidwe ngati al Qaeda ndi United States akugwirizanitsa boma la Syria ndikupanga gehena ngati gehena m'malo mwake.
7. Kupandukira kosagonjetsedwa kumagwidwa ndi mphamvu kunja kwa mphamvu sizimangobweretsa boma lokhazikika. Ndipotu sipanakhalepo nkhani yokhudza nkhondo yothandiza anthu ku United States yomwe imapindulitsa kwambiri anthu kapena kumanga nyumba kumanga dziko. Nchifukwa chiyani Syria, yomwe imawoneka ngati yovuta kwambiri kuposa zolinga zambiri, zikhale zosiyana ndi lamuloli?
8. Kutsutsa uku sikufuna kupanga demokarase, kapena-chifukwa cha nkhaniyi-pomvera malangizo a boma la US. M'malo mwake, blowback kuchokera ku mabungwe amenewa ndiwotheka. Monga momwe tikanati tiphunzire phunziro lachinyengo zokhudzana ndi zida tsopano, boma lathu liyenera kuphunziranso phunziro la kumenyana ndi mdani wa mdani nthawi yayitali.
9. Chitsanzo cha zochitika zina zosayeruzika ndi United States, kaya apolisi odziteteza kapena kuchita nawo mwachindunji, amapereka chitsanzo chowopsya ku dziko lapansi komanso kwa iwo omwe ali ku Washington ndi ku Israel omwe Iran akutsatira.
10. Ambiri a ku America, ngakhale ntchito zonse zofalitsa mafilimu mpaka pano, akutsutsana ndi kumenyana ndi opandukawo kapena kuchita nawo mwachindunji. Mmalo mwake, zothandizira zambiri zimapereka chithandizo. Ndipo ambiri (ambiri?) Asuri, mosasamala kanthu za mphamvu ya kutsutsa kwawo boma lino, akutsutsa kusokonezeka kwachilendo ndi chiwawa. Ambiri mwa opandukawo, alidi, akumenyana nawo. Tingachite bwino kufalitsa demokalase mwachitsanzo kusiyana ndi bomba.
11. Pali kayendedwe kowonjezereka kwa demokarasi ku Bahrain ndi ku Turkey ndi kwina kulikonse, ndipo ku Syria palokha, ndi boma lathu silinatulukitse dzanja.
12. Kukhazikitsa kuti boma la Syria lachita zinthu zowopsya kapena kuti anthu a Suriya akuvutika, samapanga mulandu chifukwa chochita zinthu zomwe zingapangitse zinthu kukhala zoipira. Pali vuto lalikulu la othaŵa kwawo kuthaŵa Suriya, koma pali othawa kwawo ambiri kapena oposa ambiri omwe sangakwanitse kubwerera kwawo. Kutuluka kunja kwa Hitler kungakwaniritse zofuna zina, koma sizidzapindulitsa anthu a Siriya. Anthu a Siriya ndi ofunika kwambiri monga anthu a ku United States. Palibe chifukwa choti Achimereka sayenera kuika moyo wawo pachiswe kwa Asuri. Koma anthu a ku America akumenyera Asiriya kapena kuponya mabomba kwa Asiriya omwe angawathandize kuti mavutowa asapitirire. Tiyenera kukhala olimbikitsana ndi kukambirana, zida za mbali zonse, kuchoka kwa amitundu akunja, kubwerera kwawo, kupereka thandizo, kuthandizira milandu ya nkhondo, kugwirizanitsa pakati pa magulu, komanso chisankho chaulere.
Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire adapita ku Syria ndikukakambirana momwe zinthu ziliri pawayilesi yanga. Adalemba mu Guardian kuti, "pomwe pali gulu lovomerezeka komanso lakale lomwe likufuna kukhazikitsa bata komanso kusintha zinthu zachiwawa ku Syria, ziwawa zoyipitsitsa zikuchitika ndi magulu akunja. Magulu ankhanza ochokera padziko lonse lapansi asamukira ku Syria, akufuna kusamutsa nkhondoyi kuti ikhale yodana ndi malingaliro. … Alonda pamtendere apadziko lonse lapansi, komanso akatswiri komanso anthu wamba mkati mwa Syria, agwirizana kuti lingaliro lawo loti United States itenga nawo mbali ingangokulitsa mkangano uwu. ”
