Wolemba Robert C. Koehler, Epulo 14, 2019

Kodi angayerekeze bwanji kukayikira zachitetezo chankhondo yaku America?

Monga mlangizi wa chitetezo cha dziko John Bolton zomwe zidalengezedwa mchaka chathachi, Khothi Lapadziko Lonse la International Criminal Court ndi "kuukira ufulu wa anthu aku America ndi ulamuliro wa United States."

Ndi inu ndi ine amene Bolton akunena za izo, ndipo zaposachedwa kuchotsedwa wa visa ya woimira boma ku ICC Fatou Bensouda - chifukwa choumirira kufufuza, mwa zina, milandu yankhondo yaku US ku Afghanistan - ndi gawo laposachedwa kwambiri pankhondo yaukazembe yomwe United States yalengeza motsutsana ndi khothi kuyambira pomwe idakhazikitsidwa ku 2002.

"Cholinga chachikulu, koma nthawi zonse chapakati" cha International Criminal Court "othandizira amphamvu kwambiri anali kukakamiza United States," adatero Bolton, akutsutsa zotsutsana ndi lingaliro lomwe la malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi ndi mfundo zapadziko lonse lapansi. "Cholingacho sichinali chongoyang'ana anthu ogwira ntchito ku US, koma atsogoleri akuluakulu andale aku America, komanso kutsimikiza mtima kwawo kuti dziko lathu likhale lotetezeka."

Awa ndi mawu odabwitsa komanso odabwitsa, mawu oti athetse mikangano yonse, zokambirana zonse. America ndi dziko laulere, munthu. Uwu ndiye mtengo wapamwamba kwambiri pa Planet Earth. Ili ndi ufulu womenya nkhondo iliyonse yomwe ingafune, ndipo nkhondo iliyonse yomwe imalipira ndiyofunikira, malinga ndi Bolton ndi makina ankhondo ndi mafakitale omwe amawayimira.

Zikuwoneka kwa ine kuti mfundo zovuta kwambiri zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito poyendetsa zolankhula zadziko lino. Munthawi ya a Trump, zinthu zakhala zophweka, popeza olamulira akufuna kufotokozera dzikolo kukhala lathunthu: palibenso chisinthiko chomwe chimaloledwa. Malire atsekedwa . . . kwa Asilamu, aku Mexico ndi oyimira milandu ku International Criminal Court.

Ganizirani za United States pambuyo pa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse - mphamvu yodzikuza kwambiri ngati pano, kutsimikiza, koma motsogozedwa ndi zikhalidwe zomwe siziyenera kuchita zomwe akufuna. Dzikoli lidachita gawo lalikulu pakukhazikitsa Bungwe la International Military Tribunal, yomwe inakhazikitsa miyezo kuti iyambe kubweretsa mtendere wapadziko lonse ndipo, ndithudi, inachititsa kuti magulu ogonjetsedwa a Axis a ku Ulaya ayankhe kwa iwo.

Zolakwa zolangidwa zochitidwa ndi olephera pa Nkhondo Yadziko Yachiŵiri, zooneka ngati zaperekedwa ndi opambanawo ndi lingaliro lakuti siziyenera kuchitikanso, zinaphatikizapo: (a) Zolakwa Zotsutsa Mtendere, mwachitsanzo, kukonzekera ndi kumenya nkhondo yachipongwe; (b) Upandu pankhondo, monga “kuwononga mwachisawawa kwa mizinda, matauni, kapena midzi, kapena kusakaza kosalungamitsidwa ndi kufunika kwankhondo”; ndi (c) Crimes against Humanity: mwachitsanzo, “kupha, kupha anthu, ukapolo, kuthamangitsa anthu m’dziko, ndi mchitidwe wina wankhanza wochitidwa kwa anthu wamba.”

Nanga bwanji ngati mawuwa amatanthauza chinachake (chomwe ndi chimene Milandu ya International Criminal Court zikuwoneka kuti ndi choncho)?

"Ngati lero boma la US lidziyimitsa mlandu, mofanana ndi momwe linagwiritsira ntchito kuyesa chipani cha Nazi ku Nuremberg, chifukwa cha zomwe zachitika ku Afghanistan ndi Iraq m'zaka zaposachedwa, liyenera kudziimba mlandu."

Analemba choncho Robert Higgs ya Independent Institute think tank - mu May 2004! Panthawiyo nkhondo ya ku Afghanistan, yomwe tsopano inali nkhondo yayitali kwambiri m'mbiri ya US, inali yosakwana zaka zitatu, ndipo nkhondo ya Iraq inali ikupita chaka chimodzi.

"Kodi pali amene anganene mowona mtima kuti zomwe Hermann Goering ndi Alfred Jodl adapalamula," Higgs anapitiriza, "si mlandu wofanana kwa Donald Rumsfeld ndi Dick Cheney?"

Chabwino, John Bolton akhoza. Ndipo izi ndi zaka khumi ndi theka pansi panjira, ndi nkhondo, zosamvekanso m'nkhani, zikupitirirabe. Zili ngati akudzipangira okha, koma monga Bolton adatikumbutsa, akuyimira chifuniro cha "atsogoleri akuluakulu a ndale ku America, komanso kutsimikiza mtima kwake kuti dziko lathu likhale lotetezeka."

Awa ndi mawu omwe amapangidwa mu nkhokwe ya kudzikonda kwa ndale kukhala zida zodzitetezera, aka, ndale-speak cliché. Akaimitsidwa motsutsana ndi zenizeni zenizeni za nkhondo, amasiya munthu akupuma. Mwachitsanzo, Human Rights Watch, mwachidule zomwe zapezedwa mu 2014 lipoti la Senate Intelligence Committee la US pa njira za CIA "zowonjezera zofunsa mafunso", zinati:

"Chidulechi chikufotokoza zambiri zomwe zidanenedwapo kale za pulogalamu yachizunzo ya CIA, kuphatikiza momwe bungweli limagwiritsa ntchito kupsinjika kowawa, kuyimirira mokakamizidwa, kugona kwanthawi yayitali, kuwala kowala komanso phokoso lalikulu, kulowa m'madzi, ndikuponyera akaidi pamakoma kapena kuwatsekera m'mabokosi. .

"Ilinso ndi zatsopano zosonyeza kuti kuzunzidwa kwa CIA kunali koopsa kuposa kuganiza kale. Bungweli linagwiritsa ntchito zoletsa zopweteka, kuwapatsa chilango chowapatsa chilango kapena ‘kubwezeretsa madzi m’thupi,’ ndiponso kukakamiza akaidi othyoka miyendo kuima omangirira makoma.”

Zonse m'dzina la chitetezo cha fuko lathu! Ndipo pali zambiri. Nanga bwanji za kampeni yathu yophulitsa mabomba — kupha anthu a m’midzi osawerengeka, okondwerera phwando laukwati . . . ku North Korea ndi Vietnam komanso Afghanistan ndi Iraq. Pambuyo pake adangowonongeka, nthawi yopindulitsa kwambiri kwa opha anthu ambiri monga a Timothy McVeigh.

Higgs, polemba za kuwonongeka kwa mudzi wa Makr al-Deeb, ku Iraq, pa May 19, 2004, pamene mabomba a ku United States anapha anthu oposa 40 ndipo anapha anthu oposa 2. Ndinamupeza atatsala pang'ono kuchoka panyumbapo, mwana wake wamwamuna wazaka 1 dzina lake Raad ali m'manja mwake. Mwana wake wamwamuna wazaka XNUMX, Raed, anali atagona pafupi ndi mutu wake.

Deta iyi, pafupifupi yowawa kwambiri kuti tiyitchule, ndi yotseguka kwa anthu onse. Achulukitse ndi masauzande angapo kapena miliyoni ndipo amatha kusintha kukhala chitetezo cha dziko.

Koma chochitika chilichonse, choyang'anitsitsa, akufa asanawonongedwe, ndi mlandu wankhondo. Pepani, Mayi Bensouda, koma chitetezo cha dziko chikufuna kuti tikuletseni visa yanu.
