Ndisina kudzidziswa nezvekurapa, ndakaedza kusaverengeka, mhuri dzichimhanyisa muchipatara vakatakura vadiwa vakakuvadzwa. Pane imwe nguva, mukadzi anga akagara padhuze neni akatanga kusvimha misodzi. "Ndomuudza sei?" Akabvunza, muChirungu chakatyoka. "Chii chandinotaura?" Aive Jamela Abbas, tete vejaya, anonzi Ali. Mangwanani emusi waKubvumbi 31st, ndege dzehondo dzekuUS dzakarova pamba pemhuri yake, iye oga yevemhuri yake yose aive panze. Jamela akasvimha misodzi paakatsvaga mazwi ekuudza Ali kuti akavhiyiwa akange atsemurwa maoko ake maviri akakuvadzwa, padyo nemapfudzi ake. Chii chakawedzera, aifanira kumuudza kuti iye zvino aive iye ega hama yake yasara.
Pasina nguva ndakanzwa mafambiro aive aenda. Zvakanzi kwandiri kuti Ali, wezera 12, paakaziva kuti akange arasikirwa nemaoko maviri, akapindura nekubvunza "Ndichagara ndakadai here?"
Kudzokera kuAl Fanar hotera, ndakahwanda mukamuri rangu. Misodzi yehasha kuyerera. Ndinoyeuka ndichirovera pilo yangu ndichibvunza kuti "Tichagara takadai here?"
David Swanson anondiyeuchidza kuti nditarise kune kwakanyanya kugona kuita pakurwisa hondo, mukusarudza dzimwe nzira dzaticharatidza simba redu kuzere.
Makore zana apfuura, Eugene Debs akashandira asinganetsi muUS kuvaka nharaunda iri nani, uko kuringana uye kuenzana kwaizowanikwa uye vanhuwo zvavo vaisazotumirwa kunorwa hondo vachimiririra vadzvinyiriri. Kubva pa1900 kuenda ku1920 Debs yakamirira mutungamiri mune imwe neimwe yesarudzo shanu. Akamhanyisa 1920 yake mushandirapamwe kubva mukati meAtlanta jeri kwaakange atongerwa mhosva yekumukira nekuti akataura zvine simba kupokana nekupinda muHondo Yenyika I. Achisimbisa kuti Hondo munhoroondo dzakagara dzichirwiwa nechinangwa chekukunda nekupamba, Debs aive asarudzira pakati peboka revatenzi rinozivisa hondo uye vanokundwa vanorwa hondo. "Chikoro chaTenzi chakawana zvese kuwana uye kurasikirwa," akadaro Debs mukutaura kwaakasungirwa, "nepo vadzidzi vekirasi havana chekuwana uye chekurasikirwa nacho - kunyanya hupenyu hwavo."
Debs akatarisira kuumba pfungwa mumusarudzo yese yekuAmerica iyo inopokana nenhema uye ichiramba hondo. Kwaive kusiri nyore kuita. Sekunyora kwenyaya yevashandi, "Pasina redhiyo ne terevhizheni, uye nekusavanzika kunonzvera kwekufambira mberi, chechitatu zvinokonzeresa, pakanga pasina imwe nzira kunze kwekufamba usingagone, guta rimwe kana kuridza muridzo panguva, mukutakura kupisa kana kuyerera. kuchitonhora, pamberi pechaunga chikuru kana chidiki, mune chero imba, paki kana chiteshi chechitima chaigona kuungana vanhu. ”
Haana kudzivirira kupinda kweUS kupinda muHondo yeNyika I, asi Swanson anotiudza mubhuku rake 2011, Kana Hondo Yenyika Yakabviswa, pakauya nhoroondo munhoroondo yeUS, mu1928, apo vapfumi masamanisi vakasarudza kuti yaive mune yavo kujekeswa- kufarira kutaurirana neKellogg-Briand Pact, yakagadzirirwa kudzora hondo dzemberi, uye kudzivirira hurumende dzemangwana dzeUS kubva kunotsvaga hondo. Swanson inotikurudzira kuti tidzidze uye tivake pane imwe nguva munhoroondo yakarwiwa hondo, uye kuramba kuzviudza pachedu kuti kurwa hakudzivisiki.
Zvirokwazvo tinofanira kubatana neSwanson mukubvuma matambudziko akakura atinosangana nawo mukukurudzira kuti tirege kurwa, kana kuipedza. Anonyora kuti: “Kuwedzera pakunyudzwa mune dzenhema maonero okusakwanisa kuita hondo, vanhu muUnited States vari kupokana nesarudzo dzakashata, vezvenhau, dzidzo isina kusimba, mashoko anopararira, varaidzo isina kuchena, uye muchina wehondo zvachose. chirongwa chehupfumi chakakodzera chisingazungunuke. "Swanson inoramba kudzikiswa nematambudziko makuru. Hupenyu hune hutano chinhu chakanyanya kuoma, uye zvinotarisana nematambudziko akaderera, sekudzvanya vanhu munharaunda. Chimwe chikamu chechinetso ndechekugamuchira nokutendeka kuoma kwaro kuoma: kupupurira-kuona zvakajeka mauto anoita kuti hondo dzivepo munguva yedu nenzvimbo, asi Swanson inoramba kuenzanisa iwo mauto seanokundikana zvipingamupinyi.
Makore mashoma apfuura, ndakambonzwa nezve mwana waJamela Abbas, Ali. Zvino akange ave nemakore gumi nemana 16, achigara muLondon kwaive nemutori venhau weBritish akabvunzurudza naye. Ali akange ave nyanzvi yekugona, achishandisa zvigunwe kubata pendi brashi. Aive adzidzawo kuzvidyora achishandisa tsoka dzake. "Ali," akabvunza akabvunzurudza, "waizoda kunge uri ani kana uchinge wakura?" MuChirungu chakakwana, Ali aive apindura, "Handina chokwadi. Asi ndinoda kushandira rugare. ”David Swanson anotiyeuchidza kuti hatizogara takadai. Tichapfuura nenzira dzatisingakwanise kufungidzira zvakafanira, kuburikidza nekutsunga kusimuka pamusoro pekusakwanisa kwedu uye kuzadzisa zvinangwa zvedu pasi. Zviri pachena kuti nyaya yaAli haisi nyaya yekunzwa-yakanaka. Hunhu hwakarasikirwa zvakanyanya kuhondo uye izvo zvinowanzoita kunge kusakwanisa kwavo rugare zvakaita sekushungurudzika kukuru. Hatizive nzira dzatichazowana nadzo dzekushanda kuti tikurire pamusoro peizvo zvabviswa. Isu tinodzidza kubva kune zvekare, tinochengeta maziso edu pachinangwa chedu, isu tinoshungurudza zvizere kurasikirwa kwedu, uye tinotarisira kushamiswa nezvibereko zvekushanda nesimba uye shungu yekuchengeta hunhu huri mupenyu, uye nekuhubatsira kugadzira zvakare.
Kana David ari chokwadi, kana vanhu vakapona, Hondo pachayo ichaenda nenzira yekufa-duels uye mucheche, kushandira vana uye hutapwa hwehukama. Zvichida rimwe zuva, pamusoro pekuitwa zvisiri pamutemo, zvinotobviswa. Kwedu kurwira kurwira, kurwa zvishoma nezvishoma kurwa kwevapfumi kune varombo, kurwisa chibayiro chevanhu chechirango chikuru, neudzvinyiriri zvekuti kutya kwehondo kwakasimba, kwira mukati medu. Kufambisa kwedu kwakarongeka kuchishandira izvi uye zvisingaverengeki zvimwe zvinokonzeresa ivo vari ivo pachavo mifanidzo yerunyararo, yekudyidzana, kupedzwa kwekuzviparadzanisa uye nekunetsana mukudyidzana mukusika, kuguma kwehondo kunogadzirwa, mumatamba, kunooneka
MuChicago, pandinogara, gore roga roga zhizha extravaganza rave rakaitwa pamahombekombe egungwa kwenguva yakareba sezvandinogona kuyeuka. Yainzi "Iyo Mhepo neMvura Show," yakakura mumakore gumi apfuura ichive kuratidzwa kwakakura kwemauto ehondo uye chiitiko chakakura chekunyora. Asati aratidzwa kukuru, iyo Air Force yairovedza mauto kurova uye taizonzwa sonic booms muvhiki rese rekugadzirira. Chiitiko ichi chinogona kukwezva mamirioni avanhu, uye pakati nepikisheni mauto eUS angangokwanisa kuparadza nekukuvadza vamwe vanhu akaiswa senge yehusimba, kukunda kukunda.
Muzhizha re2013, izwi rakasvika pandiri muAfghanistan kuti mhepo nemvura show yaitika asi kuti uto reUS raive "ratidziro."
Shamwari yangu Sean anga akaisa mukova wepaki wezviitiko zvakapfuura zvegore pagore mukuratidzira kwega, achikurudzira nemufaro vanopinda "kunakidzwa nekuratidzwa" zvakanyanya pamutengo unoshamisa kwavari mumadhora emitero, muhupenyu uye kugadzikana kwepasi rose nerusununguko rwematongerwo enyika. kurasikirwa nehondo yeumambo. Ane shungu yekubvuma kushinha kwevanhu kuti vashamiswe nekuona kunoyemurika uye kugona kwehunyanzvi pairatidziro, aisimbirira ndege, uye neizwi roushamwari sezvinobvira, "Vanotaridza kutonhorera zvikuru kana vasiri kukurova!" gore aitarisira mapoka madiki, achinge anzwa (kunyangwe hazvo aive akabatikana kuunganidza mazana emareta akawanda kuti anyatsotsvaga chiitiko ichi chegore rino) kuti zviitiko zvemauto zvakawanda zvakadzima. "Makumi maviri emaflanzera akazotevera, ndakaona kuti izvi zvaive nekuti MILITARY YAKAZVIPA!" Akandinyora pazuva iro pachawo: "Vakanga vasipo _chengetedza mamwe matende eEmweya anoshamisa andakawana pandakabhejera kuburikidza nekutsvaga venzvimbo dzekubatira. Ndakaerekana ndanzwisisa kuti sei ndisati ndanzwa chero sonic booms inoenda kupera kwevhiki. ”(Ini ndagara ndichigunun'una kunaSean wezuva regore rekurwadziwa kwekuteerera kune avo ndege dzidzo yekudzidzira kuratidzwa)" Takafadzwa nekushambidzwa nehumwari hwangu , Ndakabvisa fliers dzangu uye biked ndichifara kuburikidza nechiitiko. Wakanga uri mangwanani akanaka, uye matenga eChicago akapora! ”
Kusakwanisa kwedu hakusati kuri iyo nyaya yose; kukunda kwedu kunouya nenzira diki dzekuwedzera dzinotishamisa. Kufamba kwemamirioni kumuka kurwira hondo, iko kunonoka kunonoka, simba rayo rinoderedzwa, nemwedzi mingani kana makore, nehupenyu hwakawanda sei husina kurasikirwa, nemavhu mangani asina kumbobvaruka kubva kumitumbi yevana? Pfungwa dzakashata dzakazara sei nevavarwi vehondo vanokanganiswa nekudzivirira hurongwa hwavo hwekuuraya, vangani vatsva kutsamwa, nekuda kwekupokana kwedu, havazombofi vakafunga zvakadaro here? Nezvinhu zvingani sekufamba kwemakore, kuratidzira kwedu kurwisa hondo kunopfuurira, nezvimhinganidzo, kuti zvikure? Hunhu hwevavakidzani vedu huchamutswa zvakadii, kuziva kwavo kuchasimudzwa kusvika papi, vangazonamatira zvakanyanya sei munharaunda ivo vachadzidza kuve mukati medu kuedza kugovana uye kuramba hondo? Chokwadi hatigone kuziva.
Chatinoziva ndechekuti hatichagara takadai. Hondo inogona kutitsakatisa zvachose, uye kana ikasadzorwa, isina kudziviswa, inoratidza mukana wese wekuita kudaro. Asi Hondo yaDavid Swanson Hapachazombofungi imwe nguva iyo maAli Abbas epasi aratidzira hushingi hwavo kwazvo munyika yakapedza hondo, uko pasina munhu anofanirwa kurondedzera njodzi dzavo mumaoko evaipambara nyika, umo tinopemberera kuuraya hondo. Pamusoro peizvi inofungidzira nguva apo vanhu vakawana chinangwa chechokwadi, chazvinoreva, uye nharaunda yekudana kwavo kupedza hondo pamwechete, kurarama chishandiso chiri kutsiva hondo nerunyararo, kuwana hupenyu hwekuramba, uye hwechokwadi hwezviitwa nevanhu. Panzvimbo pekukudza mauto ane zvombo semagamba, ngatitendei kumwana asina kupakurwa ruoko nebhomba reUS anofanirwa kuziva kuti kushomeka kwezvikonzero zvishoma chikonzero chekutadza kuita, kuti chii kana chisingakwanise kuchinja, uye ndiani, kunyangwe zvese zvatakaita kwaari, achiri akatsunga kushandira rugare.
