Kune rudzi rwekubvisa kwehondo zvinyorwa izvo munhu wese anofanira kuverenga wedzera Nguva Itsva Yekusaita Chisimba: Simba reVanhu Veruzhinji Pamusoro peHondo naTom Hastings. Iri ibhuku rezvidzidzo zverunyararo iro rinoyambuka richienda kune maonero ekuda runyararo. Munyori anotaura maitiro akanaka asina rose- kana tsvuku-chena-uye-bhuruu-mavara magirazi. Hastings haisi yekungotevera runyararo mumoyo make kana rugare munharaunda yake kana kuunza shoko rakanaka rerunyararo kune maAfrica. Iye anotoda kupedza hondo, uye nekudaro anosanganisira yakakodzera - isingaite yakasarudzika - kusimbisa kuUnited States uye kusati kwamboitika mauto. Semuyenzaniso:
“Mumhinduro yakanaka yemigumisiro yakaipa, nhangemutange yezvisaririra zvasara zvenyika ichaunza kurwisana kwakawanda uye kunoda mafuta akawanda kuti akunde mujaho wacho . . . '[T] iye US Air Force, mutengi mukuru wepetroleum pasi rose, nguva pfupi yadarika akazivisa hurongwa hwekutsiva 50 muzana yemafuta ayo ekushandisa nemamwe mafuta, achinyanya kukoshesa biofuels. Asi, biofuel haichakwanisa kuendesa mafuta edzimotokari asingapfuure zvikamu makumi maviri neshanu kubva muzana [uye ndezvekuba ivhu rinodiwa zvirimwa zvekudya -DS] . . . saka mamwe matunhu anowanikwa oiri angangoona mari yakawanda yemauto uye kupindira.' . . . Nekushomeka kuri kukura kwematura emafuta mauto eUS apinda munguva yeOrwellian yehondo yekusingaperi, nekunetsana kunopisa munyika dzakawanda nguva dzose. Inogona kurangarirwa semhare huru, inotungidzwa nemafuta, inogara ichitenderera Pasi, ichitsvaka kudya kwayo kunotevera.”
Vanhu vazhinji vanoda "rugare," kungofanana nevanhu vazhinji vanofarira kuchengetedza zvakatipoteredza, havadi kunzwa izvozvo. Sangano reUS reRunyararo, semuenzaniso, rinogona kufungidzirwa sewart pamuromo wehofori raptor, uye ndinga - ndinofunga - kuzviona zvakakwana mumashoko iwayo kupokana nendima yapfuura. Hastings, kutaura zvazviri, anonyatso ratidza kuti Washington, DC, inozvifunga sei nekutora tsinhiro yakajairika, asi imwe yakatoratidzwa kuti inokanganiswa nezviitiko zvinozivikanwa. Uyu aive Michael Barone we US News uye World Report muna 2003 kusati kwarwiswa Iraq:
"Vashoma muWashington vanokahadzika kuti tinogona kutora Iraq mukati memavhiki mashoma. Zvino kunouya basa rakaoma rekufambisa Iraq kuenda kuhurumende ine gutsaruzhinji, ine runyararo, uye inoremekedza hutongi hwemutemo. Sezvineiwo, vakuru vakuru vakangwara muDziviriro neDhipatimendi reHurumende vanga vachironga basa rakakomba kweichi chiitiko kwerinopfuura gore izvozvi. "
Saka, usanetseka! Ichi chaive chirevo cheruzhinji chakavhurika muna 2003, sevamwe vazhinji, zvakadaro inyaya yekuti hurumende yeUS yaironga kurwisa Iraq kwerinopfuura gore izvo zvisati zvaramba zvichive "nhau dziri kubuda!" kumusoro kusvika vhiki ino.
Kuti hondo dzinogona kudzivirirwa kunyangwe muUnited States zvakajeka kuna Hastings angabvumirana naRobert Naiman's. kuramba nguva pfupi yapfuura CNN payakataura kuti kupokana neContra war kuhurumende yeNicaragua kunofanirwa kuita kuti mumwe munhu asave mutungamiri weUS (kunyanya mumwe munhu akamira padivi peanopisa anonyara akavhotera hondo yeIraq). Muchokwadi, Hastings anonongedza, kuedza kukuru kwakaitwa nesangano rerunyararo muUnited States panguva iyoyo kwakadzivirira kupinda kweUS kuNicaragua. "[H]kutarisira vakuru veUS vane mukana wekuwana [Mutungamiri Ronald] Reagan nedare remakurukota avo vaifungidzira kuti kupinda muNicaragua kwakanga kusingadzivisiki - uye . . . hazvina kumboitika.”
Hastings anoongorora zvikonzero zvehondo kunze kwePentagon zvakare, kutsvaga, semuenzaniso, chirwere chinotapukira kudzokera kune chakajairika chikonzero chehurombo, uye nekuona kuti chirwere chinotapukira chinogona kutungamirira kune xenophobic uye ethnocentric kuvengana kunotungamira kuhondo. Kushanda kupedza zvirwere kunogona kubatsira kubvisa hondo. Uye zvechokwadi chikamu chidiki chemutengo wehondo chinogona kuenda kure kure nekubvisa zvirwere.
Hondo iyoyo haifanire kunge iri mhedzisiro yekukonana zviri pachena kuna Hastings anorondedzera mhando dzemhando yepamusoro dzakadai sekuramba kwakakurumbira muPhilippine kubva pakati pema1970 kusvika pakati pema1980. Muna February 1986 hondo yevagari vemo yakatanga. "Vanhu vakapindira pakati pemauto maviri ematangi muchiitiko chinoshamisa chemazuva mana chisina mhirizhonga. Vakamisa hondo yevagari vemo, vakanunura democracy yavo, uye vakaita zvese izvi nerufu.
Njodzi inovanda mukuzivikanwa kwesimba rekusava nechisimba iro randinofunga rinoratidzwa nekotesheni kubva kuna Peter Ackerman naJack Duvall yandinotya kuti Hastings angangove akabatanidza pasina chero pfungwa yekuseka. Ackerman naDuvall, ndinofanira kutaura, havasi Iraqi uye panguva yekutaura ichi chirevo chakanga chisina kutumirwa nevanhu veIraq kuti vasarudze mafambiro avo:
"Saddam Hussein akashungurudza uye akadzvinyirira vanhu veIraqi kwemakore anopfuura 20 uye munguva pfupi yapfuura akatsvaga kuwana zvombo zvekuparadza zvakanyanya izvo zvisingambomubatsiri mukati meIraq. Saka Mutungamiri Bush ane kodzero yekumudaidza kuti anotyisa pasi rose. Tichifunga nezvechokwadi ichi, chero munhu anopikisa mauto eUS kumubvisa pachigaro ane basa rekutaura kuti angangoburitswa sei kunze kwemusuwo wekuseri kweBaghdad. Sezvineiwo, pane mhinduro: Vagari vevanhu, vasina mhirizhonga nevanhu vekuIraq, vakagadziridzwa uye vakashandiswa nezano rekukanganisa hwaro hwesimba raSaddam.
Nechiyero ichi, chero nyika ine zvombo zvekushandisa chete kuhondo dzekunze inofanirwa kurwiswa neUnited States sekutyisidzira pasi rose, kana chero munhu anopikisa chiito chakadaro anofanira kuratidza imwe nzira yekupidigura hurumende iyoyo. Kufunga uku kunotiunzira CIA-NED-USAID "kusimudzirwa kwedemocracy" uye "kuchinja kwemavara" uye kugamuchirwa kwakawanda kwekukurudzira kupandukira uye kumukira "zvisina mhirizhonga" kubva kuWashington. Asi zvombo zvenyukireya zveWashington zvinobatsira Mutungamiri Obama mukati meUnited States here? Angave akarurama here mukuzvidaidza kuti tyisidziro yenyika yose ndokuzvirwisa amene kutoti taigona kuratidza imwe nzira yokuzviwisira nayo?
Kudai United States yaizomira kupa zvombo uye kupa mari dzimwe dzehurumende dzakaipisisa pasi pano, mashandiro ayo “kuchinja hurumende” kune imwe nzvimbo aizorasikirwa nounyengeri ihwohwo. Vaizoramba vaine zvikanganiso zvisina tariro sekusikwa kwedemocracy isina demokrasi, inopesvedzerwa nevekunze. Urongwa hwekunze husina mhirizhonga, mukusiyana, hwaisazobatana naBashar al Assad pakurwadzisa vanhu kana kuzopa vaSyria kuti vamurwise kana kuronga varatidziri kuti vamurwise zvisina chisimba. Panzvimbo pezvo, zvaizotungamirira nyika kuva muenzaniso kukudzikwa kwezvombo, rusununguko rwevagari vemo, kuchengetedzwa kwemhoteredzo, ruramisiro yenyika yose, kugoveranwa kwakanaka kwezviwanikwa, uye zviito zvokuzvininipisa. Nyika inotongwa nemuiti werunyararo pane mugadziri wehondo angave asingagamuchire zvakanyanya mhosva dzeAssads dzepasi.
