Joe Biden paakabhururuka kubva kuHanoi svondo rapfuura, aive achibva kune imwe nyika yakakonzeresa hondo yeUS. mamiriyoni 3.8 Kufa kweVietnamese. Asi, semumwe mutungamiri wenyika kubvira Hondo yeVietnam, haana kupa chiratidzo chekuzvidemba. Muchokwadi, Biden akatungamira kushanya kwake nekutungamira mhemberero yeWhite House yaikudza hondo sechinhu chakanaka.
Kupa Menduru yeKukudzwa kune aimbove mutyairi wemauto Larry L. Taylor nekuda kwehushingi panguva yekurwa, Biden. kurumbidzwa mhare iyi ine rukudzo rusina maturo rwekuisa hupenyu hwake munjodzi muVietnam kununura masoja kubva ku "muvengi." Asi ugamba ihwohwo hwaive makore 55 apfuura. Sei kupa menduru paterevhizheni yenyika mazuva mashoma tisati taenda kuVietnam?
Nguva yacho yakasimbisa kudada kunonyadzisa muhondo yeUS kuVietnam iyo mutungamiri mushure memumwe akaedza kuita senhoroondo. Unogona kufunga kuti - mushure mekuuraya vanhu vakawanda kudaro muhondo ye utsinye hunobva pakunyengera kunopfuurira - kumwe kuzvininipisa uye kunyange kupfidza kwaizova kwakakodzera.
Asi kwete. Sezvakataurwa naGeorge Orwell, "Ndiani anodzora zvakapfuura anodzora ramangwana: ndiani anodzora zvazvino anodzora zvakapfuura." Uye hurumende ine chinangwa chekuenderera mberi nekushandisa kwayo simba-kuita-kurudyi kwesimba remauto inoda vatungamiriri vanoita nepavanogona napo kukanganisa nhoroondo nefoggy rhetoric uye nekusiiwa zvine chinangwa. Nhema uye kunzvenga hondo dzekare kufananidzira hondo dzemunguva yemberi.
Uye saka, a press conference muHanoi, Biden wepedyo akasvika pakubvuma kuurayiwa uye kuparadza kwakaitwa kuVietnam nemauto eUS waive mutongo uyu: “Ndinodada zvikuru nemabatiro akaita nyika dzedu nevanhu vedu kuvaka kuvimba nekunzwisisa kwemakumi emakore uye vakashanda kugadzirisa Nhaka inorwadza hondo yakasiira marudzi edu ose ari maviri.”
Mukuita izvi, Biden ainyepedzera kuenzana kwekutambudzika uye mhosva kune nyika mbiri idzi - kunyepedzera kwakakurumbira kwevatungamiriri vevakuru kubvira yekutanga nyowani mushure mekupera kweHondo yeVietnam.
Mwedzi miviri ari purezidhendi mukutanga kwa1977, Jimmy Carter akabvunzwa pamusangano wenhau kana ainzwa “musengwa upi noupi wetsika wokubetsera kuvakazve nyika iyoyo.” Carter akapindura zvakasimba: “Eya, kuparadzwa kwakanga kuri kumwe. Iwe unoziva, takaenda kuVietnam tisina kana chido chekutora ndima kana kumanikidza chido cheAmerica kune vamwe vanhu. Takaenda ikoko kunodzivirira rusununguko rweSouth Vietnamese. Uye handifungi kuti tinofanira kukumbira ruregerero kana kuzvishora kana kuti kufunga kuti tine mhosva.”
Uye, Carter akawedzera, "Handifunge kuti tine chikwereti, kana kuti tinofanira kumanikidzwa kubhadhara muripo."
Nemamwe mashoko, pasinei nokuti inoreva nhema dzakawanda sei kana kuti vanhu vangani vainouraya, kuva hurumende yeUnited States zvinoreva kuti usambofanira kutaura kuti une urombo.
Mutungamiri George HW Bush pavakapemberera kukunda kweUS muHondo yeGulf ya1991, iye vakazivisa: "NaMwari, takabvisa chirwere cheVietnam zvachose." Bush aireva kuti kukunda kwekuuraya vanhu veIraqi - inofungidzirwa pa100,000 mumavhiki matanhatu - akanga aunza mufaro weAmerica pamusoro pechiito chemauto icho chakavimbisa kubvisa kuzeza kutanga hondo dzemangwana.
Kubva kuCarter kuenda kuBiden, vatungamiri havana kumbobvira vasvika pedyo nekupa nhoroondo yechokwadi yeHondo yeVietnam. Hapana aigona kufungidzira kuita mhando yekunyomba iyo Pentagon Mapepa anoridza muridzo Daniel Ellsberg akapiwa paakati: “Hazvina kuti takanga tiri on divi risiri iro. Isu vakanga divi risiri iro.”
Hurukuro huru yezvematongerwo enyika haina kunyatsoteerera kune kufa nekukuvara yevanhu veVietnamese. Saizvozvowo the kukuvadza kunotyisa kwezvakatipoteredza uye zvinokonzerwa nehupfu kubva kuPentagon's arsenal vakawana kupfupika kwakanyanya muUS media nezvematongerwo enyika.
Nhoroondo yakadaro ine basa chaizvoizvo here iye zvino? Zvamazvirokwazvo. Kuedza kuratidza zviito zvemauto ehurumende yeUS zvine vavariro yakanaka uye zvakanaka hazviperi. Kunyepedzera kunyengedza zvakaitika kare kuri kufanofananidzira zvikonzero zvehondo yomunguva yemberi.
Kutaura chokwadi chikuru nezveHondo yeVietnam injodzi huru kumuchina wehondo weUS. Hazvishamisi kuti vatungamiri venyika yehondo vangada kuramba vachinyepedzera.
