Ndi David Swanson, American Herald Tribune
Talingalirani izi ndi chikumbutso chaubwenzi kwa Pulezidenti Obama pamene akupita ku Hiroshima.
Ngakhale munthu azilemba mabuku zaka zingati, amafunsa mafunso, amafalitsa zipilala, komanso amalankhula pazochitika, zimakhala zosatheka kuti zichitike pakhomo la United States pomwe mudalimbikitsa kuthetseratu nkhondo popanda wina kukumenyani za-za-nkhondo-yabwino funso.
Zachidziwikire kuti chikhulupiriro ichi kuti panali nkhondo yabwino zaka 75 zapitazo ndichomwe chimapangitsa anthu aku US kulekerera kutaya madola trilioni pachaka pokonzekera kuti mwina pangakhale nkhondo yabwino chaka chamawa, ngakhale kukumana ndi nkhondo zambiri panthawi ya Zaka 70 zapitazi zomwe anthu ambiri amavomereza kuti sizinali zabwino. Popanda nthano zambiri, zodziwika bwino zankhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse, mabodza amakono onena za Russia kapena Syria kapena Iraq angamveke openga kwa anthu ambiri momwe zimamvekera kwa ine.
Ndipo ndithudi ndalama zomwe zimapangidwa ndi nthano ya nkhondo yabwino zimabweretsa nkhondo zina zoipa, osati kuwaletsa.
Ndalemba pamutuwu pamitu yayitali komanso m'mabuku ambiri, makamaka Ic. Koma mwinamwake zingakhale zothandiza kupereka mndandanda wamtali-mndandanda wa zifukwa zazikulu zomwe nkhondo yabwino siinali yabwino.
1. Nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse sichikanachitika popanda nkhondo yoyamba yapadziko lonse, popanda njira yopusa yoyambitsira nkhondo yoyamba yapadziko lonse komanso njira yomaliza kwambiri yomaliza nkhondo yoyamba yapadziko lonse yomwe inatsogolera anthu anzeru ambiri kuneneratu za nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse, popanda Wall Street's ndalama zaku Germany ya Nazi kwazaka zambiri (monga momwe zingakhalire bwino), ndipo popanda mpikisano wamagulu ndi zisankho zingapo zoyipa zomwe siziyenera kubwerezedwanso mtsogolo.
2. Boma la US silinakhudzidwe ndi kuukira modzidzimutsa. Purezidenti Franklin Roosevelt adadzipereka ku Churchill kukhumudwitsa Japan ndikugwira ntchito molimbika kuputa Japan, ndipo adadziwa kuti kuukirako kukubwera, ndipo poyambirira adalemba chilengezo chankhondo ku Germany ndi Japan madzulo a Pearl Harbor - nthawi imeneyo, FDR idamanga m'misewu ku US ndi nyanja zingapo, zida zogulitsa ku Brits pazoyambira, adayamba kulembetsa, adalemba mndandanda wa anthu aku Japan aku America mdzikolo, adapatsa ndege, ophunzitsa, komanso oyendetsa ndege kupita ku China, adapereka zilango zankhanza ku Japan, ndi adalangiza asitikali aku US kuti nkhondo ndi Japan yayamba.
3. Nkhondoyo siinali yopereka chithandizo ndipo siinagulitsidwe nkomwe mpaka itatha. Panalibe poster ndikukupemphani kuti muthandize Amalume Sam kupulumutsa Ayuda. Sitimayo ya othawa kwawo achiyuda inathamangitsidwa kuchoka ku Miami ndi Coast Guard. A US ndi amitundu ena sakanalola othawa kwawo achiyuda, ndipo anthu ambiri a US adathandizira udindo umenewu. Mabungwe amtendere omwe adafunsa Pulezidenti Winston Churchill ndi mlembi wake wachilendo wokhudzana ndi kutumiza Ayuda kuchokera ku Germany kuti awapulumutse anauzidwa kuti Hitler angavomereze bwino zimenezo koma zingakhale zovuta kwambiri ndipo zimafuna zombo zambiri. A US sanachite nawo nkhondo kapena asilikali kuti apulumutse ozunzidwa m'misasa. Anne Frank anakana visa la US.
4. Nkhondoyo sinali yotetezera. FDR ananamizira kuti anali ndi mapu a Nazi omwe anajambula South America, kuti anali ndi dongosolo la chipani cha Nazi kuti athetse chipembedzo, kuti sitima za ku America zothandizira mapulaneti a nkhondo a ku Britain zinasokonezedwa ndi chipani cha Nazi, kuti dziko la Germany linali loopseza ku United States. Mlandu ukhoza kupangidwira kuti a US adayenera kuloŵa nkhondo ku Ulaya kuti ateteze amitundu ena, omwe adalowe kudzatetezera amitundu ena, komabe mlandu ukhoza kupangidwira kuti US adachulukitsa zolinga za anthu, amachulukitsa nkhondo, zinapangitsa kuti zisawonongeke kuposa zomwe zakhala zikuchitika, ngati sizidachitapo kanthu, kuyesa zokambirana, kapena kuyendetsera chisangalalo. Kufuna kunena kuti ufumu wa Anazi ukhoza kukulirakulira tsiku lina ndikuphatikizapo ntchito ya United States ili yovuta kwambiri ndipo sichidzatengedwa ndi zitsanzo zina za nkhondo zina zisanachitike.
5. Ife tsopano tikudziwa zambiri mochulukirapo ndipo ndi deta yochuluka yomwe kukana kusagwirizana ndi ntchito ndi kusalungama kumawoneka bwino, ndipo kuti kupambana kungakhale kosatha, kuposa kukana zachiwawa. Ndi chidziwitso ichi, tikhoza kuyang'ana mmbuyo pamapambana opambana a zochita zosagwirizana ndi chipani cha chipani cha chipani cha chipani cha chipani cha chipani cha chipani cha chipani cha Nazareti chomwe sichinawonetsedwe bwino kapena kumangidwa kupyola kupambana kwawo koyamba.
6. Nkhondo yabwino siinali kuthandizira asilikali. Ndipotu, pokhala opanda mphamvu zamakono zokonzekera asilikari kuti achite zochitika zachilendo zapha, ena mwa anthu a 80 a US ndi asilikali ena mu Nkhondo Yachiŵiri Yadziko lonse sanaphe zida zawo kwa adani. Kuti asilikaliwo adachiritsidwa bwino pambuyo pa nkhondoyo kuposa momwe asilikali a nkhondo zina adakhalira, kapena akhalapo kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, chifukwa cha kukakamizidwa kochokera ku Boma la Bonus nkhondo itatha. Ankhondo akale anapatsidwa koleji yaulere sanali chifukwa cha nkhondo kapena m'njira inayake chifukwa cha nkhondo. Popanda nkhondo, aliyense akanapatsidwa koleji yaulere kwa zaka zambiri. Ngati tipereka koleji yaulere kwa aliyense masiku ano, zingatenge njira zoposa Nkhondo yachiwiri ya padziko lonse kuti anthu apite ku malo oyang'anira usilikali.
7. Kangapo konse anthu omwe anaphedwa m'misasa yaku Germany adaphedwa kunja kwa iwo kunkhondo. Ambiri mwa anthuwa anali anthu wamba. Kukula kwa kupha, kuvulaza, ndi kuwononga kunapangitsa nkhondoyi kukhala chinthu choyipitsitsa chomwe anthu adadzichitira munthawi yochepa. Kuti mwanjira inayake "adatsutsana" ndi kuphedwa kocheperako m'misasa - ngakhale, kachiwiri, sikunali - sikungatsimikizire kuti mankhwala omwe anali oipitsitsa kuposa matendawa.
Kuchulukitsa nkhondoyi ndikuphatikizanso kuwonongedwa konse kwa mizinda ya anthu wamba, zomwe zidapangitsa kuti mizindayo isasunthike kwathunthu idachotsa nkhondoyi m'malo oteteza anthu ambiri omwe adateteza kuyambika kwake - ndipo zinali choncho. Kufuna kudzipereka mosasamala ndikufunafuna kukulitsa imfa ndi kuzunzika kudawononga kwambiri ndikusiyira cholowa chomwe chapitilira.
9. Kupha anthu ambiri kumatetezedwa ku mbali "yabwino" pankhondo, koma osati "yoyipa." Kusiyanitsa pakati pa ziwirizi sikowoneka kodabwitsa kwambiri. United States inali ndi boma lachigawenga kwa anthu aku Africa aku America, misasa ya anthu aku Japan aku America, mwambo wopha anthu aku America omwe adalimbikitsa a Nazi, mapulogalamu a eugenics komanso zoyeserera za anthu nkhondo isanachitike, mkati komanso pambuyo pake (kuphatikiza kupatsira chindoko kwa anthu ku Guatemala nthawi mayesero a Nuremberg). Asitikali aku US adalemba ntchito mazana a Nazi apamwamba kumapeto kwa nkhondo. Iwo akukwanira momwemo. US idafuna ufumu wadziko lonse, isanachitike nkhondo, mkati mwake, kuyambira nthawi imeneyo.
10. Mbali "yabwino" ya "nkhondo yabwino," chipani chomwe chidapha ndi kufera mbali yopambana, chinali chikominisi Soviet Union. Izi sizipangitsa kuti nkhondo ipambane chikominisi, koma zimawononga nthano zakupambana kwa "demokalase."
11. Nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse sinathe. Anthu wamba ku United States sanalandire misonkho mpaka Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse ndipo sizinayime. Zinayenera kukhala zosakhalitsa. Maziko sanatseke konse. Asitikaliwo sanachoke konse ku Germany kapena ku Japan. Pali mabomba opitilira 100,000 aku US ndi aku Britain omwe akadali pansi ku Germany, akuphedwabe.
12. Kubwerera m'mbuyo zaka 75 kudziko lopanda zida za nyukiliya, atsamunda, dziko losiyana kotheratu, malamulo, ndi zizolowezi zotsimikizira zomwe zakhala zikuwononga ndalama zambiri ku United States pazaka zilizonse zomwe zakhala chodabwitsa chodzinyenga nokha sizimayesedwa kuti zilungamitsidwe zazing'ono zilizonse. Tangoganizirani kuti ndili ndi nambala 1 mpaka 11 yolakwika kwathunthu, ndipo mukuyenera kufotokoza momwe dziko loyambirira la 1940 limalungamitsira kutaya ndalama zankhondo za 2017 zomwe zikadatha kudyetsa, kuvala, kuchiritsa, komanso kuteteza zachilengedwe padziko lapansi.
