Kubwerera mu 1890s omwe amakhulupirira kuti akugonjetsa dziko lonse lapansi akupha mokwanira (popanda kutenga Hawaii, Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, ndi zina zotero) kuphatikizapo Pulezidenti wa nyumba Thomas Reed. Anagula nkhani m'nyuzipepala yonena za lynching ku South Carolina. Iye adalemba mutu wakuti "Kukhumudwanso Kwina ku Cuba." Iye adawadyetsa pamodzi (nkhani zabodza!) Ndipo adawapereka kwa Congressman wochokera ku South Carolina yemwe akukankhira nkhondo ku Cuba. Mkulu wa Congress anawerenga mwachidwi nkhaniyi, kenako anaima, anadabwa, ndipo anati "Bwanji, iyi si Cuba."
Ndikupangira kuyesera izi. Lembani nkhani yonena za Israeli kupha anthu a Palestina, kapena kudandaula mu ndende ya US kapena malo a Saudi kapena pansi pa mvula ya mabomba a anthu ku Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Libya, kapena kwina; Lembani pansipa pamutu wakuti Iran, North Korea, Bashar al Assad, kapena Vladimir Putin. Onetsani kwa munthu yemwe ali pafupi kwambiri ndi membala wanu wa Congress kapena a seneniti omwe mungathe kulowa mu chipinda chomwecho kapena kufika kwa imelo. Kapena mungowisonyeza kwa wina yemwe ali ndi vutoli kuti akhale ndi televizioni.
Zoipa ziyenera kukhala zifukwa chifukwa cha zomwe zili, osati chifukwa cha omwe akuchita. Mwamwayi kupeza kuti zikhale choncho ku United States lero!
Pano pali ndondomeko ya bukhu langa latsopano, Kuchiritsa Kuwonetsera Kwambiri:
Mwachidziwikiratu, kukonda dziko lonse lapansi, monga mwina mudziko lonse lapansi, "ife" tikuyenera kukhala ndi munthu woyamba kukhala wamoyo kwa zaka mazana ambiri, kotero kuti "tidamenyana ndi a British" ndipo "tinapambana nkhondo ya Cold War". kuphatikizapo chikhulupiliro chokhala wapamwamba kwambiri, chimapangitsa wokhulupirira kukhala ndi chidwi pa zinthu zabwino "ife" tinazichita, komanso kuchoka ku zinthu zonyansa zomwe "ife" tazichita, ngakhale kuti iye mwini sayenera kulandira ngongole chifukwa choyambirira kapena cholakwa chake. George Orwell analemba kuti: "Munthu wokonda zachikhalidwe, sikuti amangokhalira kuchitira nkhanza za iye yekha, koma amatha kumva ngakhale pang'ono za iwo."[I]
Pa tsamba 1 la bukhu la Cheneys: "Tapereka ufulu, chitetezo, ndi mtendere pa gawo lalikulu laumunthu kusiyana ndi mtundu wina uliwonse m'mbiri yonse."[Ii] Zoterezi ndizo, monga pano, kawirikawiri sizitchulidwa pamunsi kapena kufotokozedwa. Malinga ndi zomwe zikutsatiridwa, izi zikuwoneka kuti zakhala zikuyendera pa nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse monga kukweza ufulu ndi mtendere, komanso mbiri ya nkhondo yachiwiri ya padziko lonse yomwe imasiya gawo la mkangano wa Allies ku Ulaya kuti idapangidwa ndi Soviet Union.
Chidziwitso chakuti "ife" ndi amene akutsogolera mtendere ndi ufulu, ndithudi, zikhoza kukhazikitsidwa pa nkhondo za US ndi zida zankhondo kuyambira pa nkhondo yachiwiri ya padziko lonse. Ndithudi, ngati aliyense akumenya nkhondo zambiri ndi kupanga zida zambiri zimabweretsa mtendere ndi ufulu padziko, ndiye United States imatenga mutuwo. Koma kunja kwa United States, malingaliro awa sali ovomerezeka konsekonse - mosiyana kwambiri. Mayiko ambiri adafufuzidwa mu December 2013 ndi Gallup wotchedwa United States wamkulu kuopseza ku mtendere mu dziko.[III] Pew kafukufuku wina wa 2017 adapeza zotsatira zofanana.[Iv]
Kuyambira pa nkhondo yachiwiri ya padziko lonse, zomwe akatswiri ena a ku America akuganiza kuti ndizomwe zimakhala za mtendere, asilikali a ku America adapha kapena athandiza kupha anthu okwana 20 miliyoni, adagonjetsa maboma a 36, adasokoneza chisankho cha 84, adayesa kupha Atsogoleri achilendo a 50, ndipo adagwetsa mabomba kwa anthu a m'mayiko oposa 30.[V] Nkhondo ya ku US imapereka ndalama zambiri monga magulu ankhondo a padziko lonse adagwirizanitsa, pamene a US, a NATO mamembala awo, ndi mabungwe awo amawerengera magawo atatu mwa magawo atatu a ndalama zapadziko lonse. Zida za US zogwira ntchito ndizopambana mwa kutsogolera ena onse, koma zokhudzana ndi makasitomala ake. United States, monga taonera pamwamba, monga ya 2017 inapereka zida ndipo nthawi zambiri maphunziro ku 73 peresenti ya dziko lapansi maulamuliro.[vi] Ndizotheka kupeza zotsatira zabwino mwa zina mwa izi, koma kumvetsetsa maso kumvetsetsa kumafuna kuyeza chabwino ndi choipa. Kodi dzikoli silikuyamika apolisi onsewa padziko lonse omwe amapangidwa ndi gulu la ingrates? Kapena kodi apolisi amalephera kwambiri?
Kupewa kutsutsidwa kwadziko, kapena kudziganizira tokha pa "ife," pangozi kuti kupatsa kutumikire monga chivundikiro chowirikiza. Kodi anthu a ku America angaganize bwanji ngati dziko lina liyenera kudzipangira ufulu wawo padziko lonse lapansi? Izi zikanakhala khalidwe la "mtundu wonyansa." Pano pali chiwerengero cha zida zankhondo padziko lapansi zomwe ziri kunja kwa malire awo amitundu:[vii]
United States - 800
Russia - 9
France - 8
United Kingdom - 8
Japan - 1
South Korea - 1
Netherlands - 1
India - 1
Australia - 1
Chile - 1

Mu 2007, purezidenti wa Ecuador anauza United States kuti izi zikhoza kukhala ku Ecuador malinga ngati Ecuador ingakhale nayo ku Miami, Florida.[viii] Lingalirolo linali, ndithudi, mopusa komanso mopusa.
Pangano lalikulu la ufulu wa anthu la United Nations la 18, United States ndi mbali ya 5, yochepa kuposa dziko lina lonse lapansi, kupatula Bhutan (4), ndipo limagwirizana ndi Malaya, Myanmar, ndi South Sudan, dziko lolimbana ndi nkhondo kuyambira chilengedwe chake mu 2011.[ix] Kodi United States ikugwira ntchito monga malamulo a dziko lapansi kuchokera kumalo omwe si kunja kwa malamulo a dziko lapansi? Kapena kodi chinthu china chikuchitika?
Kuti United States yachita chinachake sayenera kuwerengera kapena kutsutsana ndi chinthucho. Zochita ziyenera kuyima kapena kugwa pa zoyenera zawo. Koma a Cheneys akutiuza kuti tiyenera kuwona "kusiyana pakati pa zida za nyukiliya ndi dziko la America." Kodi tiyeneradi? Zingawopsyeze kuchuluka kwowonjezereka, kugwiritsa ntchito mwangozi, kugwiritsidwa ntchito ndi mtsogoleri wonyenga, imfa yaikulu ndi chiwonongeko, tsoka lachilengedwe, kubwezeretsa kubwezeretsa, ndi apocalypse. Mmodzi mwa mayiko awiriwa ali ndi zida za nyukiliya[x], wagwiritsa ntchito zida za nyukiliya[xi], wapereka china ndi zolinga za zida za nyukiliya[xii], ali ndi ndondomeko yoyamba kugwiritsa ntchito zida za nyukiliya[xiii], ali ndi utsogoleri wotsutsa zida za nyukiliya[xiv], ndipo kawirikawiri amaopseza kugwiritsa ntchito zida za nyukiliya[xv]. Sindikuganiza kuti zidazi zikhoza kupanga zida za nyukiliya m'manja mwa dziko lina kukhala ndi makhalidwe abwino.
Ngati mukudabwa, apurezidenti a US omwe apanga ziopsezo zapanyumba za nyukiliya kwa mitundu ina, zomwe tikudziwa, ndi Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton, ndi Donald Trump, pamene ena , kuphatikizapo Barack Obama, kawirikawiri adanena zinthu monga "Zosankha zonse ziri patebulo" poyerekeza ndi Iran kapena dziko lina.[xvi]
