Mashoko kuIndendence kubva kuAmerica chiitiko kunze kweMenwith Hill "RFA" (NSA) base muYorkshire.
Chokutanga pane zvose, ndinokutendai kuna Lindis Percy nevamwe vose vanobatanidzwa mukundiunza pano, uye kunditendera kuti ndiunze mwanakomana wangu Wesley pamwe chete.
Uye ndinokutendai kuMushandirapamwe weKutongwa kweAmerican Bases. Ndinoziva iwe unogovera maonero angu kuti kudzvora kwezvigaro zveAmerica zvinotungamirira Kubvisa yezvigaro zveAmerica.
Uye ndinotenda kuna Lindis nekunditumira maakaundi ake ekuramba kusungwa kunze kwekunge mapurisa azvidzivirira. MuUnited States, kuramba chero nhungamiro kubva kumupurisa kunozokupomera mhosva yekuramba mvumo yepamutemo, kunyangwe kana iwo mutemo usiri pamutemo. Muchokwadi, izvo zvinowanzo kuve chete mhosva inobhadhariswa vanhu yakarairwa kumisa kuratidzira uye kuratidzira izvo mune dzidziso zviri pamutemo zvachose. Uye, hongu, kuudza mupurisa weUS kuti abvise zvombo zvinogona nyore nyore kuti iwe uvharirwe kupenga kana ikasakupfura.
Ndinogona here kungotaura kuti zvakanaka sei kuva kunze kweUnited States musi wechina waJuly? Kune zvinhu zvakawanda zvakanaka uye zvakanaka muUnited States, kusanganisira mhuri yangu neshamwari, kusanganisira zviuru zvevatsigiri verunyararo vakazvipira, kusanganisira vanhu vakashinga kuenda kujeri kunopikisa kuuraya kwakaitwa nedrone yevamwe vavasati vamboona munyika dziri kure vane rudo. avo vangangodaro vasina kumbonzwa nezvezvibayiro zviri kuitwa nevaratidziri. (Wanga uchiziva here kuti mukuru wemauto muNew York State ane matare edzimhosva ekudzivirira kuchengetedza avo vasingaite mhirizhonga murunyararo kure nekwavo kuti ave nechokwadi chekuchengetedzeka kwake - kana rugare rwake rwepfungwa?) Uye, hongu, mamirioni vemaAmerican vanoshivirira kana kupemberera hondo kana kuparadzwa kwemamiriro ekunze vakanakisa uye kunyange vane hushingi mumhuri dzavo nenharaunda nemaguta - uye izvi zvakare zvakakosha.
Ndanga ndichifarira panguva yemitambo yeWorld Cup. Asi ini ndinofarira vavakidzani, guta, uye matunhu matimu futi. Uye ini handitaure nezvezvikwata sekunge ndiri ivo. Handiti "Takanwisa!" ndakagara pacheya ndichivhura doro. Uye handiti "Takunda!" mauto eUS paanoparadza rudzi, achiuraya vanhu vazhinji, achisvibisa pasi, mvura nemhepo, achigadzira vavengi vatsva, achiparadza matirioni emadhora, uye achipa zvombo zvekare kumapurisa emuno anorambidza kodzero dzedu muzita rehondo vakarwa muzita rerusununguko. Handiti "Takarasika!" kana. Isu avo vanopikisa tine basa rekuramba zvakanyanya, asi kwete kuti tizive nemhondi, uye zvirokwazvo kwete kufungidzira kuti varume, vakadzi, vana, uye vacheche vari kuurawa nemazana ezviuru vanoumba timu inopikisa yakapfeka yunifomu yakasiyana, a timu ine kukundwa negehena remoto missile yandinofanira kufarira.
Kuziva nemugwagwa wangu kana guta rangu kana kondinendi yangu haitungamire nzvimbo dzakafanana dzinozivisa nemauto-kuwedzera-vamwe-vadiki-padivi-masevhisi anozvidaidza kuti hurumende yangu yenyika inotungamira. Uye zvakaoma kwazvo kuziva nemugwagwa wangu; Ndine simba shoma pane izvo zvinoitwa nevavakidzani vangu. Uye ini handikwanise kubata kuti ndizive nedunhu rangu nekuti ini handisati ndamboona yakawanda yacho. Nekudaro, kana ndangotanga kuzivisa zvisingaonekwe nevanhu vandisingazive, ini handione kukakavara zvine musoro kwekumira chero kupi kunopfupika kwekuziva nemunhu wese, pane kusiya 95% nekuzvizivisa neUnited States, kana kusiya 90% uye kuziva ne iyo inonzi "International Community" iyo inoshanda pamwe nehondo dzeUS. Nei usingangofanane nevanhu vese kwese kwese? Pane dzimwe nguva dzisingawanzo kana isu tichidzidza nyaya dzevanhu vega kana vanozvishora, tinofanirwa kuti, "Wow, izvo zvinovaita sevanhu!" Zvakanaka, ini ndoda kuziva, chii chaive pamberi peiyo nhoroondo isati yaita kuti ive yemunhu?
MuUS mune mireza yeUS kwese kwese nguva ikozvino, uye kune zororo remauto kwezuva rega rega regore. Asi waChina waChikunguru izororo repamusoro soro renyika tsvene. Kupfuura chero rimwe zuva, ungangoona vana vachidzidziswa kuvimbisa kuvimbika kumureza, kudzosera pisarema kuteerera sekumabhobhoti madiki evaFascist. Iwe uri mukana wekunzwa rwiyo rwenyika rweUS, iyo Star Spangled Banner. Ndiani anoziva kurwa kunobva mazwi erwiyo irworwo?
Ndizvozvo, Hondo yeCanada Liberation, umo United States yakaedza kusunungura maCanada (kwete kekutanga kana kwekupedzisira nguva) uyo akavatambira zvakanyanya sezvaizoitwa nevaIraq, uye maBritish akapisa Washington. Iyo inozivikanwa zvakare seHondo ya1812, iyo bicentennial yaipembererwa muUS makore maviri apfuura. Munguva yehondo iyoyo, iyo yakauraya zviuru zvevanhu vekuAmerica neBrits, kunyanya kuburikidza nechirwere, panguva yehondo isina ropa pakati pevamwe, vanhu vazhinji vakafa, asi mureza wakapona. Uye saka tinopemberera kupona kwemureza iwoyo nekuimba nezve nyika yemahara inosunga vanhu vazhinji kupfuura chero kupi zvako pasi pano uye imba yevakashinga vanotsvaga-vanofamba nendege uye vanotangisa hondo kana maMuslim matatu akadanidzira "boo!"
Waiziva here kuti mureza weUS wakayeukwa? Unoziva kuti mota inozoyeukwa sei nemugadziri kana mabhureki asingashande? Pepa rinogadzira rainzi Onion rakataura kuti mureza weUS wakayeukwa mushure mekukonzeresa kufa kwemamirioni gumi nemana. Zvirinani kunonoka kupfuura kusati kwamboitika.
Kune akawanda anoshamisa uye anokurumidza kugadzirisa zvinhu mutsika yeUS. Izvo zvave zvakawandisa uye zvichiwedzera kusagamuchirwa kubiridzira kana kufungira vanhu zvisizvo, vanhu vepedyo, nekuda kwerudzi rwavo, bonde, zvebonde, uye zvimwe zvinhu. Izvo zvichiri kuenderera, hongu, asi zvakashatiswa. Ndakave nekukurukurirana gore rapfuura nemurume akagara mumumvuri wekuvezwa kwevakuru vemubatanidzwa pane imwe nzvimbo yaimbove inoera kuKu Klux Klan, uye ndakaona kuti haaizombotaura, kunyange achifunga izvozvo. nezve vatema muUnited States kune mumwe munhu waasingazive waakange achangosangana naye. Uye akazondiudza kuti angade kuona iyo Middle East yese ichiparadzwa nemabhomba enyukireya.
Isu takave nevarairidzi 'uye vevanyori vebasa vakapera pamusoro pesaruro kana zvebonde kutaura, asi maOfficer ezvombo anoseka pawairesi nezvekuda mabasa makuru matsva enedzimwe nyika, uye hapana munhu anopenya. Tine mapoka ehondo anorwisa kupemberera kwemauto paChirangaridzo uye nemamwe mazuva seino. Isu tine vanonzi vezvematongerwo enyika vanofambira mberi vanotsanangura mauto sechirongwa chemabasa, kunyangwe ichinyanya kuburitsa mabasa mashoma padhora pane dzidzo kana simba kana zvivakwa kana kusambobhadharisa madhora iwayo zvachose. Tine mapoka erunyararo anopokana nehondo nechikonzero chekuti mauto anoda kuchengetwa akagadzirira dzimwe, zvimwe zvakanyanya kukosha hondo. Tine mapoka erunyararo anopikisa marara emauto, apo imwe nzira yekugona kwemauto isiri iyo inodiwa. Tine ma libertarians vanoshora hondo nekuti dzinodhura mari, chaizvo sezvavanopikisa zvikoro kana mapaki. Tine varwi verubatsiro vanopokana nezvehondo nekuda kwekunzwira kwavo tsitsi vanhu vavanoda kubhombwa. Tine mapoka erunyararo anotarisana nevema libertarians uye vanokurudzira kuzvida, vachiitirana nharo nezve zvikoro zviri kumba pachinzvimbo chemabhomba evaSyria, tisingatsanangure kuti tinogona kupa rubatsiro rwechokwadi kuvaSyria isu pachedu nemari shoma yemabhomba.
Tine magweta akasununguka anoti havagone kutaura kuti kuputira vana madrones zviri pamutemo here kana kuti kwete, nekuti Mutungamiriri Obama ane memo yakavanzika (ikozvino yakavanzika chete) umo anoitamisa zviri pamutemo nekuiita chikamu chehondo, uye ivo havasati vaona memo, uye sechinhu chemitemo ivo, saAmnesty International neHuman Rights Watch, vanofuratira UN Charter, iyo Kellogg Briand Pact, uye zvisiri pamutemo zvehondo. Tine vanhu vachipokana kuti kubhomba Iraq izvozvi chinhu chakanaka nekuti zvinopedzisira zvaita kuti US neIran vataurirane. Tine kuramba kwakasimba kutaura hafu-miriyoni kusvika miriyoni nehafu maIraqis zvichienderana nekutenda kuti maAmerican anogona kungotarisira nezve 4,000 maAmerican akaurayiwa muIraq. Tine misangano yechokwadi yekushandura mauto eUS kuita simba rezvakanaka, uye kudiwa kusingadzivisike kwevaya vanotanga kupandukira hondo, izvo United States inofanirwa tungamira iyo nzira yerunyararo - apo chokwadi nyika yaizofara kana ikangounza kumashure.
Uye zvakadaro, isu zvakare tine fambiro mberi huru. Makore zana apfuura maAmerican akange achiteerera nziyo dzinonakidza nezve kuvhima Huns yaive mutambo unonakidza kutamba, uye mapurofesa aidzidzisa kuti hondo inovaka hunhu hwenyika. Zvino hondo inofanirwa kutengeswa sezviri madikanwa uye nerubatsiro nekuti hapana munhu anotenda kuti zvinonakidza kana zvakakunakira iwe zvekare. Polls muUnited States vanoisa rutsigiro rweinogona kuitika hondo nyowani pazasi pe20 muzana uye dzimwe nguva pazasi pegumi muzana. Mushure mekunge Imba yeMakomisheni pamusoro apa yati Kwete kumisasa kurwisa kuSyria, Congress yakateerera mhirizhonga yeruzhinji muUS ndokuti kwete futi. Muna Kukadzi, kumanikidzwa neveruzhinji kwakatungamira kuCongress kutsigira chibvumirano chitsva paIran icho chakazonzwisiswa zvakanyanya sedanho rekuenda kuhondo kwete kure naro. Hondo nyowani kuIraq iri kutengeswa uye kuvandudzwa zvishoma nezvishoma mukutarisana nekupokana kukuru kwevanhu izvo zvakatokonzeresa kune vamwe vakakurumbira vevatsigiri vehondo mu10 ichangoburwa.
Iko kuchinja kwemaonero kuhondo zvinonyanya kukonzerwa nehondo dzekuAfghanistan neIraq uye kuratidzwa kwemanyepo uye zvinotyisa zvinobatanidzwa. Hatifanire kurerutsa maitiro aya kana kufungidzira kuti akasiyana nemubvunzo weSyria kana Ukraine. Vanhu vari kupandukira hondo. Kune vamwe zvinogona kunge zviri zvemari chete. Kune vamwe unogona kunge uri mubvunzo wekuti bato ripi rezvematongerwo enyika rine White House. IWashington Post ine ongororo inoratidza kuti hapana munhu muUS angawana Ukraine pamepu, uye avo vanoiisa kure kubva kwazviri chaizvo vangangoda hondo yeUS ikoko, kusanganisira avo vanoiisa muUnited States. . Mumwe haazive kana kuseka kana kuchema. Asi zvakadaro chiito chakakura ndecheichi: kubva kungwara kusvika pasi kumamonyoni, isu tiri, vazhinji vedu, tichimukira kunorwa. VaAmerican avo vanoda kuti Ukraine irwiswe vashoma pane avo vanotenda muzvipoko, maUFO, kana zvakanakira shanduko yemamiriro ekunze.
Zvino, mubvunzo ndewokuti tinokwanisa here kubvisa pfungwa yekuti mushure memazana ehondo dzakaipa panogona kunge paine yakanaka pakona. Kuti tiite izvo isu tinofanirwa kuziva kuti hondo nemauto zvinoita kuti tirege kuchengetedzeka, kwete kuchengetedzeka. Tinofanira kunzwisisa kuti maIraq haavongi nekuti ivo mapenzi asi nekuti maUS nevabatsiri vaparadza imba yavo.
Tinogona kututira huremu hwakawanda panharo dzekugumisa tsika yehondo. Aya mabheseni eUS spy anoshandiswa kunanga makomba asi nekushora kuhurumende nemakambani uye vanoita zvematongerwo enyika. Uye chii chinoruramisa zvakavanzika? Chii chinotendera kubata munhu wese semuvengi? Zvakanaka, chimwe chinhu chinodikanwa ipfungwa yemuvengi. Pasina hondo nyika dzinorasikirwa nevavengi. Pasina vavengi, nyika dzinorasa zvikonzero zvekushungurudza vanhu. Britain ndiyo yaive muvengi wekutanga akagadzirwa nevanoda kuve vatongi veUnited States musi waChikunguru 4, 1776. Uye zvakadaro kushungurudzwa kwaMambo George hakuenzane nekushungurudzwa kunoitwa nehurumende dzedu izvozvi, zvichiruramiswa netsika dzavo dzekugadzira hondo uye kugoneswa. nemhando yetekinoroji yakagara pano.
Hondo ndiyo yedu yekuparadza kwakanyanya nharaunda, iyo yakashata jenareta yekutyorwa kwekodzero dzevanhu, chinokonzera rufu uye mugadziri wedambudziko revapoteri. Inomedza madhora zviuru zviviri zvemadhora pagore pasirese, nepo makumi emabhirioni achigona kudzikisira kutambura kusinganzwisisike, uye mazana emabhirioni anogona kubhadhara shanduko huru kumasimba anovandudzwa anogona kutibatsira kubva kunjodzi chaiyo.
Chatinoda izvozvi kufamba kwedzidzo uye yekumanikidza uye yekusagadzikana kusaedza iyo isingayedze kugadzirisa hondo asi kutora matanho munzira yekuiparadza - iyo inotanga nekuona kuti tinogona kuibvisa. Kana tikakwanisa kumisa zvombo muSyria, hapana simba remashiripiti rinotitadzisa kumisa zvombo kupinda kune dzimwe nyika. Hondo haisi chishuwo chekutanga chemarudzi anofanirwa kuputika chinguva chidiki kana achinge adzvinyirirwa. Marudzi haasi echokwadi saizvozvo. Hondo chisarudzo chakaitwa nevanhu, uye icho chatinogona kuita chisatenderwe zvachose.
Vanhu vari munyika dzinoverengeka vava kushanda mushandirapamwe wekubvisa kwehondo yese inonzi World Beyond War. Ndokumbira utarise WorldBeyondWar.org kana kutaura neni nezve kubatanidzwa. Chinangwa chedu ndechekuunza vanhu vazhinji nemasangano muchikwata chisina kuitirwa chikumbiro chehondo kubva kune imwe hurumende, asi kusangano rose rehondo kwese kwese.
